She narrows candidates by tenant mix, food court signage, handrail style, store numbers, and regional store patterns, and explains the reasoning as she goes.
Her method is elimination, not memory alone. If ten Aeon Malls contain store A, she looks for the one that also contains store B, then works down from there. She has cited counts from her own head, such as ten malls with a Village Vanguard on the first floor and seven with one on the fourth.
Other routes include reading a food court signboard, dating a building from thick round wooden handrails, and matching the store numbers printed inside the mall. She also tracks chains concentrated in Tohoku or Kyushu. Replies on X and YouTube comments call the speed scary rather than impressive.
