I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about Saizen, a Japanese franchise store that sells cheap, functional and cute items from Japan. Everything there sells at P85.00.
Last Saturday I had my chance to finally see the store when AJ took me there while we were strolling at Robinson’s Galleria.
The store really looks inviting…
I don’t know how I did it, but I managed to take snapshots of some of the items I saw there. Thankfully too, my cellphone camera (Sony Ericsson W995) cooperated that day and gave me clear pictures:
Pretty glass canisters with pink polka dots design for the cap cover.
These are banana plastic case holders. Cute!
Ceramic figurines. I almost bought one but thought that it won’t fit our "very conservative" living room hehe…
We regret not having bought these ice pop makers.
Craft punchers! It’s a surprise to find plenty of them here. Will definitely go back for these as they’ll make nice gifts for scrapbook hobbyists.
My eyes literally danced when I saw these candy-colored pens!
Cute ostrich pens!
Notebooks and drawing books in various designs and paper type.
Steel mesh pen stand in round or squarish shape. These are definitely a good buy since a pen stand of exactly the same design sells at P300 and above at department stores and bookstores (especially if branded).
Another "hoard"-worthy item from Saizen: colorful origami papers! Perfect for any DIY project!
Space-saving, colorful dust bins (perfect for office or other small spaces)
That’s all. These are actually just a preview of the many others you will find there.
We were able to buy kitchen items from here (not in picture because I wasn’t able to look properly at the kitchen section, it not being my "turf" but AJ’s hehe) and a clear case organizer for me.
Do visit Saizen, you won’t come out there empty-handed (a friendly warning for impulsive buyers like me). If you love looking and buying stuff at Japan Home, this is definitely a mecca for you.
Saizen is located at Robinson’s Galleria in Ortigas City.

I mean, I know, we should buy Filipino, pero kasi katuwa talaga details on a lot of Japanese products. Lalo na with those on the creative industry talagang maaaliw with the products they can find. Although I have always found the banana case absurd – kasi diba, minsan iba ang shape ng banana? hehe!

June 11, 2011 at 1:30 amHehe I couldn’t agree with you more. Japanese products pay attention to details eh and that’s what I like most about them. And they’re very functional talaga.
About the banana case, it is indeed absurd and may be more appropriate as a bridal shower gift hehehe!
