Not just "Japanese-inspired". Daiso is a huge chain in Japan and has lots of stores outside of Japan, including California.

I have one of these stores near where I work. They sell snacks and cheaply-made items for cheap prices. Bought a pair of work gloves from there once. They barely lasted a few months, but again, they were cheap so I expected that.

Here in Metro Manila Philippines almost all malls have Daiso, if not, they have Saizen or Japan Homes stores. The only problem for me regarding these stores even if they are Japanese brand stores is more than half of their items with the exception of food products are labeled made in China. Products I usually bought made in Japan in these stores are plastic containers, office supplies and some kitchen wares, you just need to read the Made in labels when buying.
