Japanese Cuteness at Kyoto General Store

March 31, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 8 Comments

As you may have guessed, Sarah and I have a love of stationery items and accessories. We were in heaven during our recent family holiday to Japan as no-one does cute or kawaii quite like the Japanese! We are excited to discover that we can buy our favourite Japanese brands such as Shinzi Katoh and Winged Wheel here in Australia from Kyoto General Store. What is even better is that Kyoto General Store have a special offer on during the month of April for free shipping within Australia. 

Some of our favourite products include: 

Shinzi Katoh Lunch box…..

Cute decorative tape….

Note Sets….

Point markers …

If you place an order with Kyoto General Store during April, mention A Spoonful of Sugar at checkout to receive a free gift with every purchase.

    What adorable products! I have never been in an actual store that carried these type of Japanese products, but I see them online all the time. I could definitely see using that decorative tape, especially on letters and packages. You two are having too much fun with these goodies!

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to spend my money (lol)- I have been out to visit the store and made purchases. Now all I have to do is wait for the fantastic tapes to arrive. What a find … but better than an Easter Egg..

    so many gorgeously cute things. I have just been over to check out the shop soooo many things. I have quite a collection of Japanese writing paper I should show one day on the blog I was very lucky and got it VERY cheaply compared to what they are now. I just may have to do some shopping, if only I hadn’t just bought stuff on Etsy….
