You can easily make coffee by simply adding water or milk to one portion. It's great for iced americanos, and if you don't prefer sweetness, we recommend the Black Unsweetened type.

How long does the MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask, a recommended item from Don Quijote, stay warm, and in what situations is it good to use?

What should I be careful about when using Kobayashi Shoshugen One Drop Deodorizer, and what is its purpose?

You should be careful as the pink product can be mistaken for artificial tears. This product is used as an etiquette item to create a subtle fragrance by dropping one or two drops into the toilet bowl water.

Don Quijote Japan: 7 Must-Buy Items I Always Repurchase in…

Don Quijote Japan Shopping Guide

My Top 7 Personal Favorites & Repurchases

Let's be honest, for many of us, the grand finale of any trip to Japan is a massive shopping spree at Don Quijote, right?

I always tell myself, "This time, I'll only buy a few things!" But then I fill my basket to the brim and start dreading the inevitable overweight baggage fees. It's a universal struggle, I swear!

And yet, once you're inside, it's easy to get overwhelmed. You buy things just because they're famous, only to find them gathering dust at home before eventually being tossed. Been there, done that!

After numerous hits and misses, I've finally curated my ultimate list of **Don Quijote recommendations that I consistently repurchase.**

Don Quijote's Best Buys: My Top 7

1. AGF Blendy Portion Coffee

My most frequent repurchase? Hands down, the Blendy Portion Coffee!

Just add one portion to water or milk, and you've got a quick, delicious coffee. It's perfect for a fuss-free morning brew.

I usually enjoy mine as an iced Americano. The flavor is surprisingly good, and best of all, these portions take up hardly any space, so you can stock up without worrying about luggage weight.

They offer a **wide variety of flavors**, from unsweetened and low-sugar options to caramel cafe lattes, so you can easily find one that suits your taste.

Since I'm not a big fan of sweet coffee, I personally **highly recommend the black unsweetened version.**

Its universally appealing taste also makes it a great gift, which is why it's my number one Don Quijote recommendation.

2. MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask

This is another item I absolutely stock up on every time I visit Japan.

Once you put it on, a warm steam gently envelops your eyes, creating a **soothing, warm sensation** around the eye area. After a long day of sightseeing, using this back at your hotel feels like all the day's **fatigue just melts away.**

It provides about 20 minutes of comfortable warmth and comes in various scents, so you can pick your favorite.

Plus, they're individually packaged, making them perfect for gifting to friends and family, and they're quite affordable – a definite Don Quijote shopping essential!

I don't just use these when traveling; I use them quite often at home too.

Working all day with contact lenses can leave my eyes feeling really tired and strained by the evening, but using one of these makes my eyes feel refreshed and clearer.

3. Rohto Lycee Eye Drops

I've tried countless eye drops from Don Quijote, and this is the one I've settled on.

It's an artificial tear solution with a refreshing, cooling sensation, but it's not overwhelmingly strong – it's just right.

When my eyes are severely dry from wearing contact lenses all day, regular artificial tears sometimes just don't cut it. But **one drop of this provides instant relief and coolness.**

**You can even use it while wearing contact lenses,** which is a huge plus.

For anyone like me who wears contact lenses all day, this is an absolute must-have.

4. Kobayashi Shoshugen One Drop Deodorizer

Has anyone else discovered this gem?

After using the restroom, just drop one or two drops into the toilet bowl water, and it releases a **subtle, pleasant fragrance throughout the bathroom.**

Honestly, I was skeptical about how much scent it could really provide, but this stuff is surprisingly powerful!

It's my **go-to etiquette item** that I always carry with me, and I even keep one at my desk at work. No more awkward moments after using the office restroom!

I always carry this along with the eye drops I mentioned earlier in my bag.

A word of caution, though:

The pink version can easily be confused with eye drops, so be careful!

I once almost put it in my eye, mistaking it for eye drops... terrifying!

Ever since then, I make sure to carry a different color so there's no chance of confusion.

Since you only need a few drops, it lasts a surprisingly long time, and it comes in various scents to choose from.

5. Keana Nadeshiko Rice Mask

I've tried both the sheet mask and the wash-off pack versions of the Keana Nadeshiko Rice Mask, and I've been really happy with both.

The sheet mask is great for a quick, easy application, while I use the wash-off pack by applying it during my shower and rinsing it off at the end.

After using either, my **skin feels incredibly hydrated and smooth**, and there's an immediate **brightening effect.**

The wash-off pack seems to deliver slightly better results, but since it's a bit more effort, I usually buy both when I'm in Japan!

6. Lingerie Detergent

This is a **specialized detergent for delicates and lingerie**, and it's particularly effective for easily cleaning menstrual stains or other tricky marks.

Honestly, I wouldn't typically go out of my way to buy something like this, but after trying it from Don Quijote in Japan, I've started picking one up every time I travel there!

It's not a huge bottle, but since you only need to apply it to the affected area for small stains, it lasts surprisingly long.

It might not be a common recommendation, but this **everyday essential** provides a simple solution to a common inconvenience many women experience :)

7. Shiokonbu (Salted Kelp)

This is **salted kelp**, and at first glance, you might wonder how to use it. But it's surprisingly versatile! It's delicious simply mixed into rice, or it makes a fantastic addition to homemade onigiri (rice balls).

My absolute favorite way to eat it is by slicing cucumbers or cabbage, mixing in shiokonbu, and drizzling a little sesame oil. **It's incredibly simple but truly delicious!**

It's also highly versatile in cooking, perfect for pasta,솥밥 (kamameshi-style rice), and more. If you love to cook, I highly recommend it.

Did any of these Don Quijote recommendations catch your eye?! Haha!

I hope this helps you have a fantastic shopping experience on your next trip to Japan :)
