ZAKKAsine is a miscellaneous goods shop founded in 2017, out of the fascination and inspiration from the Japanese design and heritage. A Japanese designed, Japan-made product has the persistence to strive for perfection. It also creates forms that follow function, a good design that we love and we would like to keep it for a long term use. We know it because we are the users!

 

The Japanese contemporary creativity in concert with Japanese tradition is the surprises in our shop. ZAKKAsine is a brick and mortar shop that lies in the heart of Malmö, you can come and spend a moment to feel the atmosphere of the Japanese design and bring home the product happily.

We have a range of selected products from our partners in Japan that are thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted for a sustainable journey.

Therefore, we believe it is important to have a space with Japanese aesthetic atmosphere, the look, the touch and the smell to connect with the customer.
