The shop and outlet in Akihabara of Tirol Choco, the company that although it exists since 1903 (with a different name), in 1979 it became a part of modern Japanese history with the Tirol or "Chiroru/チロル" in Japanese which not only are available in dozens of varieties but they cost just 20 yen/$0.18 each. Incidentally, the neighborhood wasn't chosen for touristic reasons: the company's HQ is right above the shop.
