[Nishi-ku, Nagoya] "select shop mocamoca" will Help You Find "Good Things in Japan"

On September 5, 2019, "select shop mocamoca" was relocated and opened in the Nagoya area. It is a select shop of household goods that introduces "good things of Japan".

The store is lined with items that are not too simple but playful, selected from all over Japan. There are many items that you can't find anywhere else.

Mocamoca is located on the 2nd floor of the Nagoya Building, about a 5-minute walk from the Kokusai Center Station on the Sakuradori subway line. A wonderful glass-enclosed shop suddenly appears in a retro apartment. Look for the yellow signboard.

A place where you can meet “good things of Japan”

mocamoca is operated by Jewel Japan, a trading company that exports Japan-made goods and tableware overseas. Jewel Japan exports Japan-made sundries and tableware to overseas markets.

They used to run a select store in a corner of Choja-machi shopping street for about 15 years, but last September we relocated and opened on the second floor of the Nakono Building North Building.

The keyword is "modern cool art".

The shop owner handles the selection himself, and there are many items that are not too simple but playful. We also offer a wide variety of works and items by domestic artists that are rarely handled at other stores.
