Eco convenience store opens in Kyoto
An “eco” convenience store has opened inside Kyoto’s city hall building:
It’s claim to “eco” fame is that it does not sell any bottled drinks. Instead, customers must bring their own cups, which they can fill with 250ml of drink for 50 yen. Eco or not, that’s a pretty good deal.
[A note to our American readers: Convenience stores in Japan do not usually sell drinks that customers can fill themselves. There are no Big Gulps or Slurpees at Seven Eleven in Japan.]
