Top 5 DAISO Japan Products That Make Everyday Life Better

Have you ever heard of DAISO?

It’s Japan’s famous 100-yen store, where you’ll find yourself saying, “Wait, this is only 100 JPY?!” over and over again. From household goods and stationery to kitchen tools, cleaning items, snacks, and even cosmetics—DAISO has everything you could ever need for daily life. It’s full of little, “This makes life easier!” moments.

These days, DAISO doesn’t just sell 100 JPY items anymore; there are plenty of 200 and 300 JPY products, too. Still, everything’s super affordable, so it’s hard not to grab a bunch of things to try.

And get this: DAISO isn’t just in Japan anymore! The brand has expanded overseas to Asia, North America, and even Europe. And some countries import Japanese DAISO products and sell them locally. For Japan lovers abroad, it’s become a go-to spot to find those clever Japanese items you never knew you needed.

I often see DAISO products on social media or TV with captions like:

“This item completely changed my life!”
“I can’t live without this now…”

Honestly, I was a little skeptical. Really? Can a 100 JPY product be that amazing? So, I decided to go check it out for myself and see what all the hype was about. And after exploring the store, here are my top 5 DAISO Japan picks that I personally recommend!

But before we jump in, a quick fun fact!

DAISO recently introduced an adorable new mascot: DAIZO! 🐘

His name comes from combining “DAI” (from DAISO) and “ZO,” which means “elephant” in Japanese. He’s got a cute D-shaped pouch and a design that incorporates the store’s logo. How cute is that?!

Apparently, DAIZO’s been studying English lately, hoping to help DAISO’s global expansion. Adorable, right? There’s even a DAIZO plushie now in Japan, and it’s already super popular!

Okay, before I start gushing too much about DAIZO the elephant, let’s get back to the main topic. Time to explore DAISO together! 🛒

1. Paw Print Laundry Clips

First stop: the laundry section.
Apparently, these little laundry clips have been going viral lately.

At first glance, they look like…well, just normal clips.
But then I looked closer…wait, are those paw prints?! 🐾

That’s right! These “Stamp Laundry Clips” leave cute little paw marks when you use them. Normally, laundry clips leave ugly marks on your clothes or towels, right? Especially on your favorite items… It’s the worst. 😔

But this clever design flips that negative into a positive! Now, those clip marks become adorable cat paw prints instead. It’s such a fun idea, like your balcony just had a little cat visitor! A simple yet heartwarming product that brings a smile to your day.

2. Spiral Hanger

Next up is this item!
Unfortunately, it was too popular and sold out in stores…but it looks like you can still get it online!

A spiral-shaped wire? What on earth is that for?
It looks like a mosquito coil or maybe a lollipop. 🍭

Actually, it’s a spiral hanger for drying large laundry items like sheets and bath towels. Normally, when I dry sheets, I just throw them over the balcony pole (I know, I’m guilty 🙋‍♀️).

But that way, the inside part never dries properly! I usually have to spend my entire weekend flipping them over again and again. Plus, they take up all the space on the pole! So annoying… 😒

But with this spiral hanger, you can hang sheets like this. 👇

It creates air gaps between the fabric, so everything dries evenly. No more of that awful damp smell! And what’s amazing is how little space it takes—about one-third of what it usually would. Perfect for small balconies or shared drying areas.

Didn’t expect to find something this useful for just 300 JPY. DAISO really is full of hidden gems! 💎

3. Garbage Bag Holder

Next stop: the trash can section.

I’d seen this item all over social media but could never find it anywhere.
And then, there it was! Finally! The famous one everyone’s been talking about… Turns out, it’s super popular in Japan right now.

The idea is simple but genius: “Turn any garbage bag into a garbage bin.”
Let’s be real… Where do you keep your plastic bottles and cans? In my place, it looks like this…

All my regular trash bins are full with burnable and plastic waste, and honestly, I don’t want to buy another expensive bin just for bottles and cans. So yeah…my bags just sit on the floor. 😅

That’s where this little holder comes in! You assemble the frame, hook the bag onto it, and…boom! You’ve got yourself a trash bin. When it’s full, just pull the bag down and remove it in seconds. It’s so much faster than pulling a full bag out of a regular bin. And the best part? It folds flat when not in use, super space-saving!

4. Aluminum Ice Cream Spoon

On to the cutlery section, and here it is: the LEGENDARY ice cream spoon.
At first glance, it looks…pretty normal. But the secret lies in the material.

Instead of the usual stainless steel, this one’s made of aluminum, a metal known for its high thermal conductivity. In other words, it uses your body heat to melt ice cream! 🍨

People were even talking about this spoon on Twitter/X recently.

5. Egg Piercer

Now for something from the kitchen gadget section—a personal favorite from my days working part-time at a ramen shop! 🍜
Can you guess what this tiny device does? There’s a little button on top, press it, and a tiny needle pops out.

It’s actually an egg piercer!

Before you boil an egg, you poke a small hole in the bottom. This helps the air escape, making the eggshells peel off perfectly after boiling. If you’ve ever struggled peeling boiled eggs—ripping the whites or getting stuck with the thin inner membrane—this tool will change your life!

**DEJAPAN Tip**

There’s a small air pocket there, so piercing it lets water get in more easily and makes the shell easier to peel.
