[#1] The Kansai Tidbits (August 2021)

By Kansai & Beyond

Updated August 31, 2021

I've been mulling over how to best use this blog for myself. I haven't been traveling much anymore for obvious reasons, but there are still a lot of mundane things I'm doing every day living here in Kansai. And so, under this "Kansai Tidbits" title, I will try to post cute and cool... maybe boring and normal things I see.


I will try to update 1 or 2 times (maybe even 3 times) a month here with this, so I hope you enjoy it!



Sumikkogurashi Rapi:t - Nankai Line

I saw this train on my way home and it's just so, so cute! Do you know Sumikkogurashi? A lot of my friends really like these characters. They're part of San-X (same as Rilakkuma) company of characters. They're really popular these days, and lots of companies are collaborating with Sumikkogurashi!


There are some goods they are selling, but they aren't that nice, unfortunately..



EVA Hand Sanitizer

Ok, how do I get this cool alcohol dispenser??


Any fans of EVA here on my blog? I can't say I'm a HUGE fan, but the EVA merch are quite impressive sometimes. This is just super cool in my opinion.



New Pringles Design?

I’m really thrown off by this, lol. It just seems so… strange? I don’t know. Has Pringles rebranded the packaging in your home country? Let me know!
