Japan’s biggest snack company, Calbee, announced that several of its famous potato chip products will temporarily switch to black-and-white packaging due to shortages of ink materials linked to the ongoing Middle East conflict 🇯🇵⚫️⚪️

The issue is connected to disruptions in the supply of naphtha, an oil-derived material used for printing ink production

Japan imports a large portion of these materials from the Middle East, and the current Iran-related tensions and Strait of Hormuz disruptions are now starting to affect even everyday products like snack packaging.

Starting May 25, 14 Calbee products including their iconic potato chips, Kappa Ebisen, and Frugra cereal will appear in monochrome packaging to help maintain stable product shipments.

The snacks themselves stay exactly the same, only the colorful packaging is disappearing for now.

Crazy to see how global conflicts can suddenly impact something as random as potato chip bags in Japan.

Do you think we’ll see more companies making changes like this if the situation continues?  Please follow for more daily Japan content 🙏🏼✨

Japan has over 4 million vending machines nationwide 🇯🇵

After moving to Tokyo, I realized Japan’s vending machine culture goes far beyond the regular machines everybody knows and loves.

Tokyo is hiding vending machines for things like perfume, dashi soup stock, discounted drinks, club alcohol and even Yakuza game merchandise (and way more, series incoming).

Some of them are placed in clubs, hidden alleys or inside buildings you’d probably walk past without noticing.

Here are a few vending machines I found recently around Tokyo:

1️⃣ Fragrance vending machine: Selling perfumes and fragrances from brands like Byredo, Le Labo, Loewe and Maison Margiela. Found inside a club/nightlife environment.

2️⃣ "Win a price" vending machine: Try your luck and win a Nintendo Switch!

3️⃣ ¥100 drink vending machine: A vending machine where every drink costs just ¥100 (around 60¢).Pretty rare nowadays since prices in Japan have been increasing over the last few years.

4️⃣ Dashi vending machine: Yes… a vending machine dedicated entirely to Japanese soup stock. Selling different kinds of dashi, shirodashi and even hot soups.

5️⃣ Yakuza merch vending machine: A vending machine dedicated to the Like a Dragon / Yakuza game series located in Kabukichō.

6️⃣ Alcohol vending machine inside a club: Selling alcoholic beverages directly inside the venue for around ¥900 per drink.

Japan really has vending machines for literally everything.

Which one surprised you the most? And which vending machines did you discovered? 👀🇯🇵

Let me show you how to get FREE drinks at Japanese konbini 🏪🇯🇵

7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart and others regularly run campaigns where you buy one drink/snack… and get another one for free later.

The important part:
✅ Keep your receipt
✅ Listen for “coupon uketori kudasai”
That means you got a coupon printed on the receipt 👀
Staff will usually remind you too because… it’s literally a free drink 😂

Have your eyes wide open while enjoying Japanese Konbini life...

You’ll often see these campaigns advertised right where the drinks/snacks are.

A interview at CNBC with Rakuten founder & CEO Hiroshi “Mickey” Mikitani is going viral again after he spoke about forcing one of Japan’s biggest companies to switch from Japanese to English 🇯🇵🇺🇸

Back in 2010, Rakuten introduced its famous “Englishnization” policy as the company rapidly expanded overseas. Mikitani believed Japanese companies needed to become more global and internationally competitive, so he made English the official internal language for meetings, emails, presentations and communication.

Employees reportedly had around two years to improve their English skills or risk losing promotions, positions, or career opportunities inside the company. The decision shocked Japan’s corporate world at the time and sparked huge debate across the country.

In the interview, Mikitani also explains that around 70% of Rakuten’s new hires are now English-speaking employees, mainly because Japan’s domestic talent pool is not big enough.

Supporters call it necessary modernization for Japan’s future.
Critics see it as Japan slowly abandoning its own corporate culture to follow Western business standards.

Today, with globalization, labor shortages, and international hiring increasing faster than ever, many people are asking the same question again:

Should more Japanese companies adopt English internally?
Or should Japan stop trying to imitate Western work culture?

Japan introduced these AI-powered Grimer trash bins as part of a recycling campaign encouraging people to properly separate bottles and cans 🇯🇵♻️

The interactive bins can actually recognize what people throw inside and react with different sounds depending on the item.

First appearing in Yokohama, the project combines Pokémon with real-world environmental awareness and somehow turns recycling into something entertaining.
 Using Grimer for a trash campaign might be one of the most fitting Pokémon collaborations ever 😭

Pokémon teaching people how to recycle. Nice!
