Created out of necessity, this shirt is a must for anyone planning a trip to Japan. Natto, the slimy fermented soy beans that smell like a dead foot inside a sweaty sock is a taste few foreigners (and even many Japanese people) like. To avoid this culinary landmine, wear this shirt and let everyone know you want to avoid what the Japanese will all tell you is extremely healthy and good for you. Tell them running 5 kilometers each day is also good for you, but no one does that! Say no to Natto!

It’s not on the maps, but obviously the Japanese know where it is… they’re just not talking! Keep wearing this shirt and you’re gonna start to hear from some random Japanese people… start the conversation now!

I can't think of a single good occasion for wearing this.

We’ve all been there… you want to stay in Japan, you’ve had a hard time meeting people, and you’re completely willing to sacrifice the sanctity of marriage for visa status. What better way to advertise than with this comfortable shirt! Get that stamp!

Sometimes you’re going to a rock concert and you want the singer to know your real motivation to see him/her. Maybe you’re meeting a co-worker out for drinks and hoping it sparks something more. No matter what the reason, you’re gonna get good attention and lots of interest in an awesome shirt like this. Try it and you’ll see, you’ll be writing your vows soon… or having lots of fun on the way!

Possibly one of the greatest institutions ever created in Japan… the IZAKAYA! Literally it means “a place for drinking”, it’s essentially a Japanese tapas restaurant with loads alcohol, and a great variety of small plates of food for sharing. Many chain izakayas have picture menus in Japan, which also ups the awesome factor when you don’t speak Japanese. Just beware of “nonkotsu”… it looks like fried chicken, but it fried pieces of cartilage… we’ve made that mistake before. Get this shirt and get to an izakaya now!

“Karaoke Iku?” (should we go to Karaoke?) is a great shirt to get the party moving to Karaoke. Once there, everyone has a great time, but sometimes it seems people need convincing. This shirt has the power to convince… what a waste it would be if you wore this shirt and didn’t go to karaoke… “mottainai desu ne”. Get singing and having fun with this great shirt.

“Yoroshiku onegaishimasu” is a common and polite saying for meeting new people in Japan. While the translation of “please treat me well” is technically accurate, the best way to think about how it is used is closer to “it’s a pleasure to meet you”.

Everyone has that one thing they love, and sometimes you can’t exactly explain that in different countries… this shirt will help you let everyone in Japan know you’re looking for wine! Wine and Japan lovers rejoice, your shirt has arrived, get it now, then choose white or red (the only options you have in Japan).

While of course, Hawaii is part of America and not Japan, if you’ve ever been there you’ll agree, it seems like Japan’s 48th prefecture. Hawaii-loving Japanese are sure to have fun with this playful shirt that shows love for Japan, Hawaii, and awesomely unique shirts!

Of course you look like a foreigner, so have some fun with it in this cool ironic shirt. Embrace your gaijin-ness (foreigner-ness), and start the conversation with random Japanese people in this awesome shirt.

Obama for Prime Minister Let’s face it, Japan has a new Prime Minister every few months anyway, why not give Obama a chance? I think they found out he is really Japanese according to his birth certificate ; )

We all love them, little chicken meatballs on sticks, grilled over an open flame to perfection. With salt or sauce, everyone loves TSUKUNE! I’m getting hungry just thinking about YAKITORI!

Let’s face it, you want beer, and many Japanese would gladly give you beer for free English lessons… let this great shirt do the negotiating for you! Get this shirt now, and be drinking for free soon! Your English is great by the way!

Wanna have some fun!? Wear this shirt, then ask some Japanese person what it says. When they tell you it says, “cool looking Japanese Kanji”, say “yeah, I know, but what does it say?” Guaranteed to confuse, delight, and create new Japanese friends… or at least drinking buddies!
