We've previously talked about how Daiso in Korea, whilst it shares the same name as the original Japan chain, sells quite a number of things that are specific to the Korea store.
As a sidenote, the logo and pricing is also different.
Items start from KRW1000 , unlike Japan where items are JPY100 (before tax) unless otherwise stated.
On my last trip, I picked up this masking tape drawer/box.
It was KRW1000, which is roughly USD0.74, a very good deal!
It has a sliding drawer with a button to secure the box and it holds about 10 rolls of standard width washi tape.
It's also made of pp material so it's pretty sturdy, great for taking some rolls out for travel journalling.
Also, the drawer catches on the button on the sleeve and prevents the sleeve from leaving the box completely but really makes it feel more secure.
I managed to squeeze in 10 rolls of random washi tape but here's what I found:
- Full rolls of MT tape are too wide and won't fit.
- 10 regular width rolls will fit but it is a bit difficult to take them out after.
- the button on the sleeve catches on the drawer and stops the drawer from leaving the sleeve altogether, but that leaves 2 rolls of tape from being accessible
Even with all the small issues, for KRW1000, I think this is a great item to pickup. It's also a good way to bring home more washi tape!
