As soon as she picked up a basket, she put greens, bacon, and frozen foods into the basket at super speed. In the specialty store section, she bought chicken rice ingredient packs and fried chicken. After another short run to the wine section, she headed for the parking lot.

A paper bag from a department store that looks heavy in both hands
It’s 7 p.m. in January 2007. I spotted Shoko Nakagawa (36), aka Shokotan, at a long-established department store in Shinjuku crowded with shoppers. Perhaps she was enjoying shopping on her way home from work, but with a heavy paper bag in both hands, Shokotan went to the pickup truck.
Next, she stopped by a very common supermarket near her home. Pushing her cart around the store, she bought over 6000 yen worth of vegetables and meat.
Shokotan has not been heard of recently. I’d love to see her with her boyfriend!
