Although this does remind me- I confused a cashier when I pulled out my Aeon card to try to get the discount they have on certain days of the month at an Aeon supermarket and it didn't work. Apparently certain supermarkets still don't support UnionPay.
We have Aeon, but it's nothing compared to stores in Osaka or Tokyo.
Aeon acquired Marunaka and Sanyo Marunaka a couple of years ago so they're expanding in the western part of the country. Marunaka now accepts cards, but I find Halows to offer wider product choice.
