Prices are Lawson standard prices (tax included). USD conversion is an estimate based on 1 USD = 150 yen. As these PET bottle drinks have a long shelf life, buying them in bulk for hydration during your stay is a smart option.
Background: The Movie “Tabekko Doubutsu THE MOVIE”
This campaign is a collaboration project with the animated film “Tabekko Doubutsu THE MOVIE”.
“Tabekko Doubutsu” has transcended being just a snack brand; its retro and cute character designs are being re-evaluated by young people as part of “Kawaii Culture.” To coincide with the film’s release, various merchandise is being rolled out nationwide.
Conclusion: Early Store Visits Recommended
The campaign begins at 7:00 AM on January 20th. Collaboration goods featuring popular Japanese characters are highly competitive, and it’s not uncommon for some stores to sell out on the first day.
If you happen to be in Japan during this period, consider stopping by a Lawson store during your morning walk. You can get four delicious bottles of Japanese black tea and a cute, distinctly Japanese eco-bag.
