DEPA-CHIKA

I've been falling in love with DEPA-CHIKA, which is
the basement delicatessen section of department stores in Japan, for a long while.

【DEPA-CHIKA= The abbreviated form of "department" in Japanese-English
+
CHIKA refers "basement floor" in Japanese.】

Once I enter DEPA-CHIKA, I can't avoid purchasing since it is always a tresury of treats.

For me, to take pretty bento-styled dishes for my dinner there is must, and
I buy some desserts with meals at least a third of my visit. 
I would be able to find what I want even though I don't exactly know what I feel like eating.

And on top of that, I can immediately pop into upstairs boutiques 
to check new arrivals out after getting treats.....
