Daiso is also attracting attention for the fact that it is not listed on a stock exchange.

There are two Daiso stores near my house, so I tend to go to Daiso. There is also a Celia, although it is a little further away. Comparing Daiso and Celia, Daiso has a larger selection, but Celia has some items that are only available at Daiso, so I think they each have their own unique characteristics.
I was surprised by the Moroccan oil sardines. It was delicious. Daiso also sell such things.
