A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning as he unloaded groceries from his truck. Among the boxes of rice and cans of soup, nestled between packages of ramen noodles, lay an old, dusty kimono. Nobody remembered seeing it before. Curious, the driver took the kimono home and hung it in his closet. Over time, whenever he wore it while delivering groceries, customers would comment on how much friendlier they felt. Soon enough, ‘Uncle Kimono’ became a local legend—everyone knew him for spreading good vibes through that ancient garment.
2. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar as he unloaded groceries from his truck. The aisles seemed unusually quiet until a small voice piped up from behind the shelves: ‘Excuse me, sir? Where did you get those cans that sing?’ The delivery driver turned around and saw only empty shelves. Smiling to himself, he thought maybe it was just an echo or his imagination playing tricks. Later that day, when restocking began, everyone laughed as they found rows upon rows of canned goods with tiny speakers inside, each one humming different tunes. It became a local joke—‘Did you hear the singing cans at Toyo?’
3. In the dead of night, when Toyo Shokuhin & Gifts should have been quiet and dark, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The parking lot lights flickered on, illuminating an empty shopping cart rolling down the aisle by itself. Curious but cautious, he followed the cart until it stopped in front of the bakery section. To his surprise, there was a freshly baked loaf of bread sitting inside—a gift, perhaps? As he picked up the warm bread, he heard soft laughter coming from behind him. Turning around, he saw only empty shelves and the faint glow of neon signs. Maybe it was just a friendly prank from a neighborhood ghost who loved good bread.
4. In the dead of night, when Toyo Shokuhin & Gifts should have been quiet, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from inside the store. ‘Who’s there?’ he called out, but no answer came. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and dimly lit aisles. Suddenly, a can of soup rolled down an empty shelf and hit him on the head with a loud thud. Startled, he jumped back, then burst into laughter—apparently, someone had left the autopilot mode on for the store's stocking robot.
