Depachika means the basement of a department store. Here you will find many old retired people sampling a large variety of free foods. There are many department stores in Japan so you can eat for free every day. Just don't go back to the same one everyday. It is considered rude. Sogo, Marui, Daimaru, Hankyu, Tokyu Honten and Takashimaya are some of the best to visit for free food samples.
