Ebisu Japanese Life Store in Squirrel Hill is the first of its kind in Pittsburgh.
The big picture: Open since last November, the store packs authentic Japanese goods — home essentials, beauty supplies, snacks and anime figurines.
Zoom in: Customers can shop for school supplies, authentic ramen, plushies, trading cards and more.
What they're saying: Store manager Erica Jiang tells Axios they aim to offer something for all ages and encourage shoppers to stop by for the holidays.
💠Alexis' thought bubble: I was impressed by the variety of products and the overall shopping experience. It felt like being in a CVS immersed in Japanese culture. The claw machine was tricky, but it was fun to win a prize!
If you go: Ebisu is at 5846 Forbes Ave., Squirrel Hill
