Q Zaka
at the local mall where I like to go there is a store that specializes in Japanese culture and Pop Culture as well as culture in general. There was a section that offered Japanese snack food such as pocky and a japanese soda. At the back of the store there is a section of anime dolls and also other merchandise associated with all of the shows that are sold there.
