Osaka opens next week

By Dorian Takahashi · November 2, 2026

Our Osaka store opens next week.

It took us almost two years to break into the Japanese market. Business there is completely different, and they really don’t like outsiders. We kept at it because the demand was already there: we import from Japan every month, and a big share of our Pokémon sales in Hawaii is Japanese product and singles.

More on how we got here soon.
