BANGKOK -- Takashimaya, Japan's iconic department store, is trying the same formula for success used at its Singapore branch for its recently opened location in Bangkok.

The ingredients -- a rich lineup of Japanese food, powerful partners and localized operations -- were evident on Nov. 10 when the iconic brand first opened its doors to the public in the city's new Iconsiam megamall.
