Ottotto crackers team up with Pokémon and take an exclusivity cue from the franchise’s video games.
You can also experience metal-casting your own Pokémon chopsticks rest using a traditional crafting technique at Nousaku’s main factory shop.
Complete with advice from a local side character, this off-the-beaten path adventure is wild and frightening at the same time.
Beloved character brings anime charm to bottles, a bottle cover and even a cold tea pot in Japan.
