After walking for a while, I came to a Chinese medicine pharmacy. The Google Maps rating was quite high. I opened the heavy door and went inside. The interior was elegantly decorated and staffs were working in Mandarin-colored uniforms. The atmosphere was that of a high-end store. I am not sure if this store has been in business for a long time since the Japanese colonial period, but I would not be surprised if it had been.

The man in the photo wearing glasses was one of the workers at the pharmacy. On the counter in front of him are several kinds of Chinese medicine. The man was holding a small scale in his hand and weighing the herbal medicine with a serious face. He was in the process of dispensing Chinese herbs. The shelves behind him were lined with metal containers. So many different kinds of Chinese herbs are being prepared according to the patient's physical condition. Fortunately or unfortunately, I have no physical problems at the moment. I had no choice but to buy a few bottles of toothpaste made from Chinese herbs and left the store. I had never seen a Chinese herbal toothpaste before.
