An afternoon outside Kasuga’s dagashiya

It is a mild spring afternoon. Outside Kasuga Grocery Store, the neighbourhood seems to pause for a moment; inside, packages stand neatly on the shelves and magazines wait in the display beside the window.

For generations, this small dagashiya has been a meeting place. Children choose a sweet after school, neighbours exchange news and the cat observes everything from its usual chair. The vending machine is a reminder that the city continues to change, while the dark timber, lanterns and rows of counter drawers preserve a slower rhythm.

Kasuga Grocery Store is about that balance between memory and everyday life: a simple, familiar place where every shelf still holds something to discover.

The shop comes alive through the variety of objects: snacks, drinks, magazines, drawers and signs give every small area a clear purpose.

Old and new share the same façade: traditional lanterns and timber frame a modern vending machine and colourful packages from a contemporary neighbourhood.

Why You Will Love It

  • A recognisable piece of everyday Japan: the dagashiya expresses living culture through products, magazines, lanterns and small neighbourhood moments.
  • Many details in a compact format: shelves, counter, outdoor display and vending machine reward close viewing from several angles.
  • Warm light, carefully distributed: touch-controlled LEDs illuminate the interior, upper windows and lanterns while adding a gentle ambient glow.
  • A compact project with a visible reward: Level 2 combines a clear structure with the pleasure of arranging tiny packages and displays.
