Most very definitely the Nihonbashi branch, the original building is dripping with its own sense of History.
However, it is no longer one building, there are annexes all around it:

How long has Daiso’s “Standard Products” offshoot been established?
Personally very surprised to see the standard of competition set for Cainz, Nitori and Muji, let alone the Department stores.
