Delicious food and treats are often the forefront of souvenier culture in Japan. As we showed last time, Yamagata is often famous for it’s treats. However, things that last just a bit longer are also nice. This time we will introduce the shops where you can see Yamagata even just by looking at the souvenirs.

Shobido Co., Ltd. is a souvenier shop specializing in handicrafts and various types of gifts for the less “foodie” inclined people!
