Korean Daiso Store If you live in Korea you already know very well what Daiso is, and most likely the nearest 5 stores to your home! For those of you moving to Korea or planning on visiting Korea let me just give you a brief introduction to the giant chain that is Daiso 다이소! Basically Daiso is like a Dollar Store. It sells cheap items from around 1,000-5,000 for your home, bathroom, crafts, pets, toiletries, snacks, etc~ basically lots of misc junk you kind sorta need…. or think you need when you actually see it! Daiso’s mission statement is “Items that make a house a home” so if you need little this and that’s to cute up your place, this is a nice and super cheap solution!! Daiso is originally a Japanese chain founded in 1977 with its HQ in Higashi, Hiroshima City – Japan. Currently it operates over 3000 stores across the world and apparently every month about 20 new stores are opening. Here in Korea this chain is thriving and is a staple in the community, Seoul alone has over 177 locations and counting! you can find one almost in every neighborhood. Compared to the Japanese Daiso the Korean stores have a bit less stuff overall and many items are made just for the Korean market here or repackaged~ Regardless, you can still find lots of cute goodies~ It is a hunting game, so just keep your eyes open! Lots of great beauty basics can be bought at Daiso for reasonable prices~ they carry lots of things like nail clippers, grooming scissors, mini razors, tweezers, nail polish, buffers, remover, etc. The products here are often just as good (if not exactly the same) as the ones you can buy at stores for double the price. They also sometimes carry a range of cleansers, shampoo, soaps, face masks, nose pore strips, hair dye, creams, and such. For girls who loves beauty, tons of pretty mirrors for your purse! They also sell larger ones you can use at home for makeup. If you go to the beauty section they will have a wall of clothing basics like stockings, socks, underpants, etc~ Because Daiso is a huge chain, It would take me a really long time to list of locations you should go to. If you are coming here on vacation almost all the major tourist hot spots will have a large Daiso, and if you are moving here to live or study you will most likely run into one within days…If you can read Korean, you can find the Daiso 다이소 in Korea closest to you and simply plug the address into Naver maps or hand it to the taxi driver. Daiso locations in Korea are generally open from 10am-10pm *closed on national holidays*
