Buying souvenirs in Japan is serious business. You need the right number of pieces for office sharing, individually wrapped for hygiene, and ideally Tokyo-limited so colleagues know you actually went somewhere. But without the vocabulary, you will grab random boxes hoping they are good, miss the seasonal specials, and panic when staff ask 何人分ですか (how many portions?). This book turns omiyage anxiety into gifting confidence.
