Sanko Rare Mono Shop carries many products that are useful in everyday life and items that people wish they had.
Of course, the company has its own development department, where heated discussions and meetings are held every day to bring new products to market...
The products being added to the lineup at Sanko Rare Mono Shop include many that are the product of the extraordinary efforts and passion of the developers.

For example, this "Gokuraku Katayu"
This item allows you to install a running bath without any construction work in the bathroom.

Although it has now attracted the attention of many people and has even been displayed in the storefront of the Sanko Rare Mono Shop, it was never originally intended to be commercialized.
"Katayu" was rejected at the planning meeting, but the planner made a prototype on his own and submitted it to the president, who gave the go-ahead.

It is also said that most of the people shown on the packaging are employees of Sanko Rare Mono Shop.
It's rare for a company to have its own photography studio and complete everything in-house, from product development to packaging photography and sales.
The packaging you see today may be the work of our development team, who are still working hard to bring new products to the world...


The person who gives off the "Iron Chef" vibe in this yakitori machine is also said to be the developer of this machine...
