Evangelion Store Tokyo-01, a two-story permanent store dedicated only to Evangelion goods, opened in Harajuku, Tokyo, on November 23, 2011. The store carries Eva-inspired clothing and fashion accessories on the first floor and more Otaku-ish items (figures, toys, and sweets) on the second. I recently visited the store and took some photos for the CR News readers who live outside Japan. The second floor report will be posted tomorrow. Which Eva-item is the must-have one for you?
