Best of
the Twin Cities
Entering a Tomodachi is like being hugged by a kawaii rainbow. These shops specialize in Japanese toys and treats, though their boutiques in the Mall of America and Rosedale showcase a much wider range of items. Beyond Pusheen plushies and Hello Kitty, there’s LED bunny lights that would be adorable in a kid’s room, vinyl dolls and blind boxes celebrating pop-culture shows like The Simpsonsand Bob’s Burgers, and sticker and magnet collections that would look badass on a laptop or guitar case. These Minnesota branches in the worldwide chain often showcase and host events featuring local artists.
