Hyde Mugs

There will be another train shortly. No need to cram in here. No seriously. That's my foot! Nevermind. We’ve all been standing in the door of the crowded train when more people back-up into you and try to push you further into the mess of smelly office workers. Save your space and your sanity with this extremely useful shirt… you’ll get that coveted space next to the door to yourself, no pushing needed!

“Yoroshiku onegaishimasu” is a common and polite saying for meeting new people in Japan. While the translation of “please treat me well” is technically accurate, the best way to think about how it is used is closer to “it’s a pleasure to meet you”.

What better way to start a conversation with some random Japanese people than wearing this shirt!? Laughter and awesomeness are sure to ensue when you ask someone what your shirt says… because your shirt says, “please tell me what my shirt says”. Best to discuss over drinks with your new Japanese friend!

Created out of necessity, this shirt is a must for anyone planning a trip to Japan. Natto, the slimy fermented soy beans that smell like a dead foot inside a sweaty sock is a taste few foreigners (and even many Japanese people) like. To avoid this culinary landmine, wear this shirt and let everyone know you want to avoid what the Japanese will all tell you is extremely healthy and good for you. Tell them running 5 kilometers each day is also good for you, but no one does that! Say no to Natto!

Obama for Prime Minister Let’s face it, Japan has a new Prime Minister every few months anyway, why not give Obama a chance? I think they found out he is really Japanese according to his birth certificate ; )

Possibly one of the greatest institutions ever created in Japan… the IZAKAYA! Literally it means “a place for drinking”, it’s essentially a Japanese tapas restaurant with loads alcohol, and a great variety of small plates of food for sharing. Many chain izakayas have picture menus in Japan, which also ups the awesome factor when you don’t speak Japanese. Just beware of “nonkotsu”… it looks like fried chicken, but it fried pieces of cartilage… we’ve made that mistake before. Get this shirt and get to an izakaya now!

“Karaoke Iku?” (should we go to Karaoke?) is a great shirt to get the party moving to Karaoke. Once there, everyone has a great time, but sometimes it seems people need convincing.

Try it and you’ll see, you’ll be writing your vows soon… or having lots of fun on the way!
