Japanese brands or Japan made items you love

Hello All,

I'm wondering, what are your favourite Made in Japan items and Japanese brands? Tried and tested?

Here I'm thinking about things like:
Imabari towels,
Seki or Sakai knives,
chopping boards,
ceramics (from ancient kilns like Seto or Japanese cuisine specific like donabe),
jeans like Momotaro or Pure Blue,
shoes like Onitsuka,
clothing brands like BEAMS or United Arrows,
umbrellas,
Gifu paper lanterns,
…and I could go on.

What are your loved items and brands that you discovered since living here?

I've been living in Japan since last summer. Since then I realised some of the everyday things here are very intentional to make your life easier (such as magnetic things for kitchens and shower rooms or those silicone dots for walls and doors to stop scratches etc). As my time here in Japan is finite, I'd love to see what you found useful, cool or pretty since living here!

Thank you for sharing in advance!
