Have you checked out FlutterScape before?
I’ve read about it here and there and I finally joined them as a seller the other day!!
I’d quote a post from Tofugu that explains things better than I will do so from scratch. :p

So basically it’s a marketplace where sellers who live in Japan and buyers overseas meet. I wanted to have a chance to sell kawaii stuff from Japan but eBay was not my thing. I opened my account but somehow I didn’t feel like joining them. It’s just too huge and too complicated for a person like me who is not familiar with online auctions. Then what about FlutterScape? To me, it seemed to be less complicated, family atmosphere that sellers and buyers exchange comments so casually each other just like on blogs, and more over it was run by a Japanese guy and their office is in Shibuya where I can easily visit if I needed to do something off-line.

I also once thought of making an opportunity for you to be able to purchase Decotti from me when I made my first Decotti making video but my problem was how buyers can feel comfortable about paying everything in advance when they don’t know me very well. It’s good to have a corporate agent inbetween the sellers and buyers who don’t know each other.

That’s the background I decided to join them as a seller at FlutterScape.
As always, I can be easily confused with new online systems and services, at FlutterScape, even though it’s rather simple, my confusion occurred almost exclusively. I had to keep asking questions to the staff, and meanwhile I made a first sale the other day! I was allowed to drop off the parcel at their office in Shibuya. I needed to go to Shibuya anyhow to buy some cosmetics that day, it was nice I could do both at a time. Moreover, Mr. Kakiyama, the CEO of FlutterScape was so nice he invited me to join his dinner with his colleagues and his loyal customer from the UK who’s visiting Tokyo on vacation. It was fun to see them in person off-line!

I’ll keep uploading cool stuff and kawaii stuff from Japan on my account at FlutterScape, but you can also request specific items from Japan. All the other sellers have very interesting and cool stuff that you can enjoy shopping or even only browsing. BTW, if you want to deal with me directly because you trust me and you like me so much (lol) just contact me. I am available for you at several ways from here, Tokyo.

I’d like to share the following videos that feature 10 best selling kitchen tools and machines (somehow food is included though) nowadays in Japan.

Top 10-5

No.10 Cookingoo 2980 yen

No.9 Magic Cold Plate 3675 yen

No.8 Shuttle Cheff 21000 yen

No.7 Chili oil 400 yen

No.6 Liquid miso 368 yen

No.5 Cotton Candy Maker 15750 yen

Top 4-1

No.4 Crepe Maker 6720 yen

No.3 Tajine Nabe 5250 yen (*It’s from Morocco. Their healthy pot best matches with our food culture.)

No.2 Acrylic Nukazuke Meijin 6900 yen

No.1 Lukue Steam Case 5250 yen

Did you find anything interesting? I have a similar type of silicon-made case as No.1′s. But it was cheaper and not that famous as Lukue. As a result, I saved some money then but I cannot find as many recipes as Lukue now. In the future I may want to buy No.2′s Japanese pickles maker. It looks quite hassle-free. I like Japanese pickles but I didn’t want to make them by myself because it really smells bad and I have to stir the rice-bran paste in the pod everyday. I was seriously thinking that I’d rather give up eating the pickles if I have to put up with the smell and labor. No.3′s Tajine Nabe was already very popular in the winter, but I don’t have it yet.

Even if how good tools and machines are available in the market, my biggest problem is that my kitchen is very small. I have no room to store these. I even give up a bread-baking machine only because I have nowhere to keep it in my kitchen! (T_T)

The chili oil at No. 7 is so popular it’s always out of stock.

Tokyo Big Site was a place to look for new brands or materials when was working as a house renovation planner several years ago. I used to make a speech to the public who came to listen to our seminar. It has been a place that makes me a bit nervous. Thus it had never been such a fun place to me before until I went to Japan Hobby Show for the first time the other day as I happened to find it reported on TV. It was a big point that the TV reporter stressed this hobby show put an emphasis on deco and they have workshops so the visitors can join on site. I was not into deco before but I started to like it through my casual Decotti experiences.

Many many workshops and anything looked interesting enough. Yet, I cannot join every workshop I want to try. I cannot wait for another 1 hour to get listed. I just joined one of them, waiting for 20 minutes or so.

I’ve been planning to make something just like this card stand for months but I didn’t have a chance to get all things needed. What a good timing! 500 yen is quite fine, not too cheap, not too expensive. I think it’s a good price that makes visitors feel like giving it a try.

Same as Decotti, I have to wait until the whip cream dries. They put mine into a small box, which is also cute!

It looks like I enjoy putting too many stuff. ^ ^; I have to know that sometimes less is more, but I cannot help once I started. (lol)

Another interesting booth to me was deco-clo. (deco clothing) They modify cheap Uniqlo clothing. I think they were also on Tokyo Kawaii TV before as Uni-kakushi, right?

This time they were introducing easy iron-on patch on Uniqlo outfits. I am very much interested in re-make fashion. But my problem is that I cannot use sewing machine properly and I don’t have enough time to make something from modifying clothes. But iron-on patch, if they have many kinds, it looks to work out for me.

I wanted to have my nails done to see how I can do this by myself. Well, after all I don’t think I will do my nails because I have to put my fingers into Pi-chan’s mouth to brush her teeth frequently. ^ ^;

It looks I covered only less than half of the show. My admission is valid throughout the show is held, but I won’t have time and effort to come back next day again. I also tried the latest sewing machine at one of the sewing machine booths but I got tired only within 5 minutes of sewing. Do I have bad chemistry with sewing machine? Anyhow I’ll definitely come back to the show next year again. It was fun enough to me.
