Osaka Don Quijote Shopping List

How to Use Discount Coupons & Best Tax-Free Snacks

---

Don Quijote is an absolute must-visit when traveling in Japan!

On my recent trip to Osaka, I bought all the souvenirs for my friends and family there.

I ended up buying so much

that it filled up an entire suitcase!

Since you'll likely walk out with heavy bags,

it’s best to make this the final stop of your day.

Also, keep in mind that among the Don Quijote stores in Osaka,

only the Dotonbori and Umeda branches are open 24 hours!

1. How to Use Don Quijote Discount Coupons

First things first before you start shopping!

Tourists can stack a 10% tax-free discount with a 5% to 7% coupon,

saving up to 17% in total!

Don Quijote Shopping List: Best Recommendations

Since this was my very first time visiting Don Quijote,

I focused on the most popular, crowd-pleasing favorites

rather than searching for hidden gems.

I basically grabbed everything everyone recommends,

spending nearly 30,000 yen...

I found so many great things that make perfect gifts for parents and friends,

so use this list as your ultimate shopping guide!

2. "She 10 Years Ago" (Women's Supplement)

First up is the famous gift for moms: 'She 10 Years Ago'.

It's a women's health supplement designed around the concept of

taking her back to how she felt 10 years ago.

It's known to support menopause care and hormone balance.

It is on the pricier side, though:

1,850 yen for 40 tablets, and 5,390 yen for 120 tablets.

The capsules are a reasonable size and easy to take.

Since it's not really necessary for those in their 20s or 30s,

it makes a fantastic, thoughtful gift for older family members!

3. Ohta's Isan A (Antacid & Digestive)

Japan's incredibly famous household digestive aid, 'Ohta's Isan'.

Since the original powder form can be

a bit difficult to swallow, I opted for the tablet version.

Just look for the one with 'Ohta's Isan A' written right at the top.

The tablets are tiny and super easy to take.

It’s incredibly handy when you feel bloated after eating greasy food,

or when you have heartburn the morning after drinking.

4. Squeezable Konjac Jelly Pouches

Don Quijote has an amazing variety of konjac jellies,

but if you're flying back, make sure to buy the individual squeezable pouches

rather than the cup-type ones, due to customs regulations.

All the products pictured above are the pouch type,

so you can buy them with peace of mind!

The texture is super bouncy and way chewier than your average jelly!

Since it's zero calories, it's perfect as a meal replacement or a guilt-free diet snack.

5. Peach Butt Soap

The famous 'butt soap' that even Jennie from BLACKPINK is said to use!

Despite the name, you don't just use it on your bum—it's also great for elbows

or other areas like the bikini line.

I bought it because it's supposed to be amazing

for body exfoliation and smoothing out skin texture.

After actually trying it, my skin felt incredibly soft

and silky smooth—it felt so good! haha. And the scent is amazing, too!

6. Snacks

I brought home a bunch of snacks, but I'll only list

the ones I actually tried and loved!

First up is 'Bourbon Alfort', famously known as the Japanese version of Binch biscuits.

Prices range from around 119 yen to 198 yen for the premium flavors.

There are so many varieties—from the classic milk chocolate to strawberry, matcha, cookies & cream, and more!

The selection is absolutely huge.

They look almost identical to Korea's Binch biscuits,

but they're super affordable and delicious!

The biscuit base is whole grain, so it's slightly dry/crunchy, but still amazing.

Next up is a chocolate-filled mochi snack,

'Omochi no Hitotoki Chocolat'.

It's also made by Bourbon, and they have a matcha flavor too.

It is incredibly sweet, so if you don't like sugary treats,

this might be a pass for you, but I personally loved it!

It's much better if you chill it in the fridge or freeze it before eating.

'Languly Chocolate Sand'

Personally, out of all the snacks I bought in Japan,

this was my absolute favorite chocolate cookie!

The price was between 300 and 400 yen.

It has rich chocolate cream sandwiched between buttery cookies—

it's incredibly soft and delicious!

They're individually wrapped, making them clean and convenient to snack on.

7. Megrhythm Steam Patches

You can actually get Megrhythm products in Korea,

and their famous steam eye masks have virtually

no price difference compared to Korea.

But what I highly recommend is the one in the middle of the second row:

the 'Steam Leg Patch'.

When applied to your legs, it releases comforting, warm steam.

Honestly, I liked this way better than Kyusoku Jikan (cool patches).

Since I was on my feet all day during my Japan trip,

I stuck these on before bed, and they worked absolute wonders.

A 6-pack is 569 yen, which is about ~$2 cheaper than in Korea...

Next time I visit, I'm definitely going to stock up!

8. Alcohol

I usually pick up some alcohol as a gift for my dad,

and this time I went with one of Japan's premium and famous sakes,

Dassai 23.

Even though you can buy this in Korea,

the price difference is truly massive.

In Japan, it's just 3,190 yen for a 300ml bottle,

but in Korea, it's a whopping ~$102...

I actually gifted it to my father-in-law,

and he loved it so much! He said he used to think he didn't like sake,

but this one was incredibly delicious!

The hype has cooled down a bit now, but it was once insanely popular:

'Suntory Whisky'

You can find this in Korea for around ~$19,

but in Japan, it's yours for half the price at just 1,500 yen!

9. Miscellaneous

Eve Pain Reliever is another item that many tourists used to buy,

but it is currently banned from being brought into Korea.

It contains allylisopropylacetylurea,

which is regulated due to potential side effects and restricted classifications,

meaning it can't clear customs. Because it's not allowed in,

please be careful as it will be confiscated and disposed of if found at airport customs!

The famous Japanese curry block, Golden Curry (Hot).

I bought it because this extra hot version is hard to find in Korea and is supposed to be incredibly spicy.

For those who love spicy food, you might find it pretty average...

but for a spice-wimp like me, it's seriously hot!

It's super easy to make and tastes amazing,

which is why the mild and medium versions are already widely popular in Korea.

'Taisho Quick Care Canker Sore Ointment'

I heard this is amazing for tongue ulcers and canker sores, so I decided to pick one up.

The results were actually pretty impressive!

However, since it's an ointment, my tongue kept brushing against it, which got a little annoying.

If you're planning to buy this, I highly recommend getting the patch version instead!

And that wraps up my ultimate Don Quijote shopping list recommendations!

I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful and exciting trip to Osaka!~
