Under Tokyo station, there is a sprawling underground shopping mall with almost any shop you can think of. Since the majority of the shinkansen leaves from Tokyo station, along with the regular shops like restaurants, clothes, etc, they have shops selling tokyo souvenirs. Usually, if you go on a biz trip or take a vacation you feel obliged to buy some kind of souvenir for your colleagues usually in the form of sweet manju, chocolates or something you can eat. That is probably why you can see Japanese tourists buying a lot of the same thing especially at duty free or Disneyland.

Directly under Tokyo station is grandsta, where commuters, people on business trips and tourists can buy all sorts of food without ever leaving the station. I arrived around 7pm since they were having a temporary corner which they called season select from January 1-14. ROYCE' staff from Hokkaido was there as shop attendents which meant a large variety of chocolates should be on sale. BINGO! There were 20 types of chocolates including Yamazaki single malt whisky sherry wood and Hakushu, single malt whisky which are both limited edition nama chocolate! However most people were buying potato chip or potechi chocolates. Look at the cute signs they had!
