MDM Tokyo Wholesale Store (2010-08-27)
First of all, let's learn this Japanese word if you don't already know it: toiya which roughly translates to wholesale stores.
At any toiya, you can buy goods at reduced prices, sometimes a whole
lot more cheaper than normal retail prices at non-toiya. A good
suburb with lots of toiya is Bakurocho, two stations away from Tokyo
Station. Although some toiya won't sell to independent shoppers
like me, most of them do.
Today's post isn't about those toiya though, it's about a 5-story
department-like building that operates like a toiya but only open to
members. My friend, who is a member, took me there for my first
visit. I was stunned to see the entire building jam-packed with
merchandise ranging from make-up to shampoo to kitchenware to handbags
to food and so on. They sell just about anything under the
sun! Photography is not allowed, so I can't show you what they
carry in the store. But I can
show you what I bought that day (at very good prices) in today's
picture gallery.
