Until now, we have been operating as a general trading card shop at the long-established department store “Daimaru Shinsaibashi Store” in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, but “MINT GAMES Shinsaibashi Store” is a more specialized store that specializes only in TCG. It has started.

Shinsaibashi area.As I myself spent my student days in this area, I have very deep feelings for both companies.This store is located at MINT GAMES Ikebukuro. Following the previous store, this will be a store that mainly sells card games.In addition, to increase the appeal of the store, we will start selling character figures. We created a store layout where two-dimensional trading cards and three-dimensional figurines have their own charms, and where customers and staff members are surrounded by things they love and enjoy coming to the store. I aim for it. It would be our greatest pleasure if this place became a place where customers could create their own hobby rooms and create inspiration for their own hobby world. ”
