They also had a lot of traditional items/supplies for tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and kimonos. I had fun looking through all the items as it brought me back to our summer in Japan. Apparently they have a long standing history in LA, having opened in 1946 after World War II. The shop occupies the site of the first Japanese-owned business in Los Angeles, circa 1890's. Pretty cool! I have a soft spot for everything animal shaped and soo.... I picked up a fun/odd felt tiger Christmas ornament, a cat pen, and a super cute bronze cat shaped spoon that hangs on the side of your cup. Did I need it? No.... but it's fun and makes me happy. Haha! Overall, great shop to browse around and find some unique gift items. They even wrap up your purchases in paper bags like they do in Japan. I LOVE IT!

It feels more like a respected museum or library than a shop, every item thoughtfully chosen, every tool purposeful and refined. I picked up a deliciously scented Belgian soap bar and immediately felt the need to go back for the Gentle Night perfume. I honestly wanted everything. The staff was kind and helpful. Prices are on the higher end, but rightfully so. The quality and curation are unmatched.

Their entire selection of art and home tools/accessories is an irresistible combo. This store is filled with nice-to-haves (vs. must-haves). It used to be filled with affordable luxuries, the kind of stuff that's a treat but isn't going to break the bank. It had been at least a year since my last visit, and I was surprised to see how much the prices of everything has skyrocketed. On my recent visit, I had no problem walking out empty-handed. Knowing what this store used to be like, it's hard for me to justify the expense. New customers will be none the wiser.

Music to my ears as I typically can't have pesto due to the cheese (lactose intolerant). The sandwich was really good, flavorful and had lots of healthy ingredients, and I didn't even miss having meat. The bread was really nice and fluffy too. I also like that you can have the option to just get half or get a whole sandwich. Such friendly service here too! And a nice sunny little patio out front to hang out.

I went in yesterday and there were 2 employees there, no one greeted me. It was silent and awkward as I was the only one in there.
