Very interesting shop with lots of great collections. Seems like it temporally closed due to covid, hope after the pandemic I can go finding cool stuff here again

All kinds of Japanese imported gifts at inexpensive to moderate prices. Love shopping here for the unique selection and great value. They've got so much cool finds like decorations, Hello Kitty merchandise, candles, loose tea and teapots, incense, also some apparel. The Hello Kitty section has lots of collectibles like stationary and backpacks. The hanging beads and paper lanterns are two of my favorite items from Shiga Imports. The paper lanterns come in lots of sizes and colors, and the hanging beads work great in doorways and windows. Overall home decor from here is tasteful and chic. While shopping and at checkout the staff are friendly. I remember the worker answering all my questions and helping me find the items I wanted. Then they carefully wrap your fragile items in paper to make it easy for you to haul your purchases home with you. If you're into Japanese culture there's a lot of gifts to look at here! I highly recommend this shop, I like to drop in every time I'm in the University District.
As a Japanese individual, visiting this shop brought back old retro feelings of souvenir shops from home. Lots of vintage goods and ceramics I was pleasantly surprised to see! Cozy and a little tight, be careful if you're coming in with a backpack or large bag.
Always a fun place to visit since there's so much to see inside, and they have great gifts for family, friends and even you.
I feel this place is overpriced. Many similar items can be found at Daiso for a fraction of the cost. They do have some neat items which keeps them at a solid 3 stars.
Charming, kitschy, old Seattle! I've been shopping here since I was a small child. The owner is a darling. If you are lucky, she'll be there when you shop. Fun finds- 6 Chinese maryjane style shoes, Indian bed covers, lots of teas. Right next to UW bookstore.
Cool little Asian import store that's been around for decades in the same place. It has so many little treasures. Reminds me a bit of a mini-Uwajimaya (the large Japanese / Asian market in the International District). Good for unusual gifts, as well as ceramics, tea sets, etc. They also have some good "rice paper" type paper selections for projects.
Not the same store as it was all cluttered back in the day. Nice and clean and show roomy now! Great selection of loose leaf tea! Loads of tea sets!
