Father’s Day in Japan
It’s Father’s Day! Here is a Japanese TV news clip about some trendy gifts that are being given to fathers this year:
Gifts mentioned include:
- Cool Biz Business Attire – With offices planning to reduce electricity consumption this summer, Dad will appreciate light clothing that will make the heat a little more bearable.
- Sports Biz Shoes – Although these shoes look like normal business shoes, they are made of light material that should make them feel cooler and more comfortable. One brand advertises that it is possible to comfortably run a marathon in its business shoes.
- Drinking Cups & Glasses – Dad can enjoy his sake or beer in style. After the March 11th disaster, more people are choosing to drink at home, so stores have seen sales double.
- Thank You Beer – Sankt Gallen Brewery’s Kansha (“Thanks”) Beer is selling well as a Father’s Day gift. Its big 1 shō (1.8 liter) bottle is especially popular.
