The “dismantling sale”, where unsold assorted items for midsummer, etc. are taken out of the box and sold at a low price, has started at a department store in Osaka and is crowded with many shoppers.
This sale is held every year at the end of the midsummer season, and the Hanshin Department Store in Kita-ku, Osaka sells about 120,000 items that are unsold at a discount of 30% to 50%.
On the 21st day of the first day, about 400 people visited the sales floor at the same time as the store opened, and the shopping basket was packed.
According to the store, Kotoshi has a high interest in foods containing salt such as “Umeboshi” as a measure against heat stroke, and “canned foods”, “retort curry”, “somen” that can be stored for a long time in preparation for disasters.
A woman in her 60s in Osaka said, “The price is cheap and I'm looking forward to it every year. I usually buy things that I can't buy.
A woman in her 70s in Kishiwada City, Osaka, said, “I came to see early in the morning. I bought a lot of Koya tofu and somen because they preserved it.”
This sale is open until 27th of this month.
