Not all things in Japan are exported to the world market, there are also interesting things that we have to hear from Japanese people.

We can easily list a series of products that show a Japanese culture such as anime, ninja, samurai … However, not all Japanese cultures are popularized everywhere. The world, which Japanese people still retain some of their own identities, can only be found in the land of the rising sun.

1.The traffic light is shaped like a comic book character
Before crossing the road, we must wait for the green pedestrian signal light to be allowed to move. Traffic rules in Japan are no different, except that the pedestrian signal light will take the picture of Miffy the rabbit, a character coming out of a children’s book by Dutch author Dick Bruna. The reason this Dutch bunny appears on Japanese streets is because this funny bunny face looks quite similar to Hello Kitty – the famous “brand face” in the land of cherry blossoms.

2. Octopus-shaped head massage device
To reduce stress and headache, you can use a special, minimalist product that includes a handle and small metal rods. In Japan there is also a product with the same mechanism, except that it runs on battery, automatically generates massage force and has the shape of an octopus, sold for more than 1.5 million. .

3.Shrimp noodle with potato Pringles ?!
Pringles has long been a very popular fries brand worldwide. Would such a big snack brand be interested in the “relief” food market too? The answer is yes! The good news for Pringles “hard fans” is that the company also produces instant noodles, but the bad news is that this product is only available in Japan. So, if you have the opportunity to visit the land of cherry blossoms, do not forget to “hunt” Pringles shrimp noodles!

4.Sitting and drinking coffee with … teddy bear
In Vietnam, it is not uncommon for people to sit quietly enjoying coffee or even eating hot pot alone. But in Japan, there is a cafe ready to “solve” quickly for customers who just sit in one chair, order a cup. Then the restaurant will put a cute teddy bear sitting at the table to “continue” them.

5.The vending machine can choose an arbitrary cup color
The vending machine for coffee is not a strange device for developed countries. But coffee vending machines in Japan bring a special feeling when allowing buyers to customize the color of the glass bottles bought away. What an interesting design that helps protect the environment.

6.Pokemon biscuits
The vending machine for coffee is not a strange device for developed countries. But coffee vending machines in Japan bring a special feeling when allowing buyers to customize the color of the glass bottles bought away. What an interesting design that helps protect the environment.

7.Sushi “Japanese standard”
In some non-Japanese specialty stores, the texture of the sushi may not be very solid, easily leading to the situation when the chopsticks are inserted, the rice with the topping “everyone goes”. This is definitely not happening in Japan – where the rice has a very high adhesion due to being subtly mixed with marinade containing sugar, salt, vinegar …

8.Celebrate Christmas with the fried chicken pieces
One thing that is indispensable for Christmas in Western countries is a roast turkey in the middle of the table, where people sit around chatting happily while having dinner. Japanese people also welcome the New Year in a happy atmosphere on January 1 of the calendar, but instead of turkey, they will choose fried chicken and especially like the KFC brand.
