23 Young Ladies Recommend Goods in CENTRAIR!

Don’t miss seeing Japanese “Kawaii”

Sundries: Soramise

[4F レンガ通り]10:00am-9:00pm
As you wander through the shop curtain you will see lots of little products with traditional Japanese patterns such as a pouch, handkerchief, or lipstick-case all lined up. Most of them are made in Japan and they make for the perfect souvenir. The most recommended is the beckoning-cat or Kompeito (small, colorful, sugar balls,) which is a product with the motif of a beckoning-cat. This was produced by “Kinjo Centrair Supporters”—female students at Kinjo Gakuin University. Go to see the beckoning-cat that brings good luck and grab a little happiness in the shop!

Beckoning-Cat Kompeito:

In collaboration with Centrair and Souvenir Corp., we developed two products based on our wish to make Centrair souvenirs that will appeal to young girls. These products are Beckoning-cat Kompeito featuring a local product— the beckoning-cat, and Centrair Stars whose concept is: stars gathered by pilots. They have both been a big hit at Soramise and at the school festival at Kinjo Gakuin University.
