It's sold under the name アセトアミノフェン (acetaminophen) in Japan. http://www.survivingnjapan.com/2011/01/how-to-find-tylenol-in-japan.html http://www.survivingnjapa

  Okay, but as it says in the article most normal pharmacies don’t sell it, they said look for larger ones near train stations. I did look for it many times. And Japanese people are certainly not in the business of regularly taking Tylenol etc.

    wrong on all counts. https://www.bufferin.net/ https://www.bufferin.net/ It's heavily advertised and available in every drug store in Japan (you don't even need to go to pharmacies!).

      Pretty sure bufferin is aspirin, not paracetamol.
      • ekianjo 5y ago
        Some versions contain Aspirin, other contain Paracetamol like this one: https://www.bufferin.net/products/premiumdx.htm https://www.bufferin.net/products/premiumdx.htm and they all use the same brand name

  Before I started visiting, I was told that TABASCO was the key to surviving Japan because it goes with everything; fish eyes, ink sacks, sea urchin guts, etc... 20-years later I realize how delicious nearly everything is on its own. (I still don't recommend any of the aforementioned, especially while wearing a white shirt)
