Hello everyone!
This is Staff K☆.
This time, I would like to write about recommended souvenirs in Nagoya.
There are many souvenirs in Nagoya that have a “Nagoya-ness” to them. You can choose according to your purpose of use (bulk, heavy, long-lasting, rare, etc.), so I will give you some recommendations by genre. If you have any conditions such as “budget” or “duration of carrying (to be given immediately or a few days later)”, we can also suggest some that fit those conditions.
Below are recommended souvenirs in Nagoya:

🏮 Local character & Miscellaneous & non-food items
-
Noritake ceramics
is a brand that originated in Nagoya. There is also a facility called “Noritake no Mori” in Nagoya, where you can buy original products. Rentio -
Locally designed sundries, retro wrapping paper goods, and small items
It is interesting to look for items with Japanese motifs or Nagoya Castle/Shachihoko (or Shachihoko) motifs at department stores and souvenir shops in Nagoya and tourist spots. -
Small items associated with food (chopsticks, lacquer ware, chopstick rests, etc.)
It is best to choose items with attention to weight and fragility.
We hope you will purchase some when you come to sightseeing.
