Here's a convenience store up at Nozawa Onsen, called "Big Mouth" -- a good name, I guess for a shop selling snack food.
The clever bit is that, in Japanese, the English word "Mouth" sounds just like "Mouse". Both are transliterated into Japanese katakana as マウス.
So, the Big Mouth store has chosen a big mouse as its mascot.
