Shop YOU

Some shoppers come specifically for the brown sugar walnuts; others are keen to try dried fruit they have not seen before. Shop YOU is a speciality shop where part of the pleasure lies in choosing from a wide range of nuts and dried fruit. Visitors have described the walnuts as generously nutty, with restrained sweetness. One person said they found it hard to stop eating them, making them a tempting option for anyone after a sweet snack. Shoppers have also picked up plain-roasted or salted nuts, garlic-flavoured varieties and mixes with small fish. You can try a little in a small pack or buy a larger bag to make your own mix or keep on hand for everyday snacking.

Visitors have reported choosing several kinds of raisins and becoming fans of the dried orange. Lychee, sliced pineapple, dates and diced dried figs have also featured in their purchases. It could be fun to choose with a use in mind, such as adding the fruit to yoghurt or mixing it into baked goods. One shopper found the banana chips not too sweet, with a light crunch that made them easy to keep eating. And it is not only sweet snacks on offer: visitors have said they were able to tell the staff what they liked and decide after sampling, whether they were looking for dried fruit to go with drinks or salted nuts.

The option to try a small pack before settling on a flavour can also help guide your choice. Visitors have reported small packs priced at ¥300, while others have described uniform prices of 300 or 1000 yen; prices may vary by product and season. Some visitors found the selection of nuts and dried fruit extensive, though others noted that the varieties on display differed depending on when they visited. If you are unsure, you can look to the samples and staff explanations for guidance, and start with a small amount. The shop has been described as cash-only, so it is worth checking the payment options before stopping by.
