Nihon T-Shirts

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 a tiger

“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”.

うれしがる (Ureshi garu): "Be happy, be pleased, be glad" in the Japanese language.

The Japanese language can be confusing, especially when you’re drinking alcohol… this shirt to the rescue! Forget all your important ordering requests when you can just point to your shirt!

If you want a Japanese girlfriend, what better way to increase your odds… with a shirt only Japanese people can read! Of course, it also looks great, but wearing this shirt is sure to get you noticed by all Japanese girls! Let them know you’re serious about being in a relationship and looking for love.

For better or worse, many Japanese people seem to believe that all personalities can be categorized into four types, based on your blood type. Therefore, you’ll most likely be asked what your blood type is at some point, if not often, during travels in Japan. As it is common for all Japanese to know their blood type however, many refuse to believe you don’t know what your blood type is… this shirt to the rescue! Often foreigners do not know their blood type, so instead of having that long and awkward conversation, you can stop it before it starts. Wear this shirt, and start a different conversation!

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).

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!
