Every day, lost items are brought to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department᾽s Lost and Found Center.
Especially, after a long vacation, so many items are brought there that they sometimes do not have enough shelf space for it all.
However, due to the influence of Covid-19, there were fewer lost items.
Also, because there have been fewer people working overtime, there has been a drop in the sales of energy drinks.
Because there are now fewer opportunities to meet people, sales of chewing gum designed to combat bad breath and refresh the mouth have also gone down.
By contrast, sales of garlic have increased.
