Let's go straight to exploring!

■The shop offers the following services
Food services ・・・ Purchase by weight!
Look at this! Food stacked up to the ceiling! coffee, nuts, pasta, rice and much more are sold by weight.
▲The overwhelming volume of nuts and dried fruits stacked up against the wall
Since the amount for eating and using varies depend on person, time, so selling food products by weight is their response to the "Just the right amount for everyone" idea. They sell more than 50 different products by weight mainly focusing on miscellaneous grain and dried products in addition to sweets, coffee, nuts and dried fruits that are individually packaged in some other stores.
▲Sweets sold by weight
Tea leaves sold by weight. They suggest blends based on ryokucha (green tea), hōjicha (roasted green tea) or rooibos tea for different occasions like "for pairing with food", "for relaxation" etc.
▲Tea leaves sold by weight
Besides food, they also sell detergent by weight! If you bring your own PET bottle they can pour as much as you want. This is their policy to reduce plastic waste.
■Selling Homes
During a walk in the store all of a sudden homes appear! Amazingly, "MUJI Homes" is sold here.
Exceedingly well seismically resistant and insulated, one-story homes with excellent functionality and design. We saw it before in catalogs but it is surprising to see the model houses built inside of a store.

■Interview impression
MUJI is not just selling things but is engaged in environmental activism. When we look at the section where they sell products by weight and the food and clothes recycling boxes are installed in the shopping area, we feel the eagerness with which they face the idea of "since we sell products we face full responsibility for them". If you are sightseeing in Tokyo, this unique MUJI is the spot that you're going to want to visit.
