Under the “Spell” of Japan

Enjoy Japanese Original Flavores

X Airport Orginal X Flavores

Tourists will be entranced by the “spell” of this sign… Both of these words are spelled incorrectly!

O Original O Flavors

X Enjoy Japanese Original Flavors

But also, this phrase is a bit strange. The typical word order would be “Enjoy Original Japanese Flavors,” but being told to enjoy something still feels odd to me, and I think “original” is not used exactly correctly here. This sounds better to me:

O Try these unusual flavors, only available in Japan!
