LOFKOTO 6th 3 p.m. Snacks: Japanese Flavors
Aug 25, 2025

The LOFKOTO General Store (The Lofkoto Zakkaten) Vol. 6, a series themed "3 p.m. Snacks," will be held at Shibuya LOFT and Ginza LOFT for about a month starting on Saturday, August 30!

 

Snacking is a dietary habit that has been passed down since the Edo period in Japan, and it is deeply rooted in modern society as a time for afternoon breaks and socializing.

In addition to recommending "3 p.m. Snacks" and related miscellaneous goods based on the theme, we have also prepared a wide range of products related to traditional Japanese lifestyle culture, such as the customs of "sharing" (osusowake) and "wrapping."

Please come and visit our store!
