All my Japanese products are amazing compared to American products.
I bought a Japanese Thermos and compared it to an American Thermos; the Japanese thermos keep stuff cooled for longer, was of higher quality, and felt better than American Thermos'.
Not to mention Japanese school supplies are amazing. Pencils write better, their erasers erase better, pencil sharpeners never fail sharpening, mechanical pencils use minimal lead while giving top notch performance and writing, and their lead lasts for a pretty long time.
