I love Muji for certain things, and I go to one on most of my trips to Jpn. I did not know that Muji had expanded to the US until I came across one of their stores at JFK. I was dumbfounded that they just left the Japanese labels on their products, with no American labels/explanations whatsoever. A lot of their stuff is not apparent as to what it actually is without an explanation. How are American people supposed to know what they are? I didn't think about the price on the label, but it makes it all the dumber to just leave the Japnese label on with price in yen intact. This was a few years ago that I came across this, so I'm not sure if things have changed, but apparently they haven't based on what the OP is saying. Muji should make the effort to stick American labels (with Japanese prices omitted) for items sold in America.

Btw, imho I think their food/tea products are really mediocre and poor value. I've not tried a lot of their skin products and toiletries, but the ones I've tried have been mediocre. What I do like about Muji is their utensils and also that they sell a lot of things that make for nice-looking gifts.
