Expanded Shopping Mall

Saga City can be a convenient place for busy shoppers, offering three shopping malls with easy access from the Saga station by bus.
 
The biggest is Youme Town Saga（ゆめタウン佐賀）which will reopen on November 22 with loads of new shops and restaurants.
 
Among them, a new shop many local people including me are looking forward to is
 LoFt （ ロフト ）because it is their first shop opening in Saga.
 
LoFt is a popular shop which carries the so-called "zakka（雑貨）" meaning miscellaneous goods such as stationary, cosmetics, bento boxes. It is fun looking at a wide range of goods in the shop. Actually that is their strength: customers should come to brick-and-mortar shops rather than online ones to discover something special from various products. 
 
The picture shows cups of chocolate by GODIVA（ゴディバ）a Belgian chocolate company which opened November 10 in the mall. This is also their first shop in Saga. To tell you the truth, I had to wait in line for them.
 
There  are other world famous shops and restaurants in the mall: Muji（無印良品）, Uniqulo（ユニクロ）, Ippu-do Ramen（博多一風堂） etc.
 
Shopping around bustling Tenjin and Hakata areas in Fukuoka is fun but you could do it at one place in Saga:)
