Amazing experience of having a meet & greet for Chococat. The shop was cute and the employees were nice.

This is one of the better and more complete stores in Southern California offering some favorite Japanese "Kawaii" and stationery products. The brand selection here is impressive, and often times carry an inventory that may be hard to find at other places including clothing items. Take advantage of some of their live shows, and product launches as they come and go quick. Certainly a must visit store for any fan or enthusiast.

Japan LA is a whimsical wonder land. They have fun plush creatures, Hello Kitty merch, candies, toy figurines and even adult onesies. The staff is very helpful and are great with suggestions and seem to really know the merchandise that they enjoy themselves too. We went for a “stuffy” to is a a backpack and found a cool one at a great price! The prices aren’t bad just understand most of their one of a kind merchandise may be expensive but very cool! If you’re looking for Japanese fun then this is your place.

Went to JapanLA looking for Sonny Angels and was informed of an upcoming event on the 27th for shopping and trading Sonny Angels so I am looking forward to that. The in store person behind the cash register was very nice and welcoming so I hope to make it back to the store even if it isn't for the Sonny Angels.
