The posted photo shows an unmistakable Secoma made of Lego! Not only the exterior, but even the interior has been intricately crafted. This store, with the store on the first floor and an eat-in space on the second floor, is modeled after the Seico Mart Yamahana 9-jo store in Sapporo. The level of reproduction is so good that even Secoma officials have given it their stamp of approval.
Setaka @Everyday Tweet @subaruff1321 Thank you for your post. Is this building with the entire second floor being an eat-in area the Seicomart Yamahana 9-jo store? Sorry if you don't understand what I'm saying. It has amazing reproducibility. https://t.co/MgOp5IPs5w

The number of parking spaces and the area around the entrance and exit are faithfully reproduced. Even the white lines for parking are realistic! The atmosphere inside the store as seen from the window is just like the real thing.
The interior of the store has been recreated in detail, even going all the way to the backstage area!
The high level of perfection is not only apparent on the outside of the store. Next, let's take a look inside.
There were people relaxing in the eat-in space, gazing out at the view. Since you can place not only buildings but also people in LEGO, it's fun to imagine what the place is like.
If you are a Hokkaido resident, you can probably relate to the bananas sold near the cash register. The uniforms of the store staff are also customized to Secoma style.
In addition to the freezer with ice and the refrigerated cases where drinks are kept chilled, even the product shelves and back area are faithfully reproduced.
The person who built this Seico Mart Yamahana 9-jo store with Lego is amateur Lego builder Setaka. The Domingo editorial team spoke to Setaka about his passion for Seico Mart and his own history with Lego.
