There are so many selections to choose from here and since time was running out, I wanted to find something useful and unforgettable for our home. You could sense all the hard work that was put into each of these lovable items and I was lucky enough to come across a variety of wonderful candles. I ended up purchasing the Los Angeles soy candle and had this wrapped perfectly. It was very affordable and I'm glad that I found this shop to shop from. On the way out, I was still enamored by the artwork, plants, and other household items presented here. It was like walking in a home that gave you ideas to better your own home!

No one greeted me as I walked in, I spent some time perusing the store with no one coming and asking if they could help me find something. I actually DID want the assistance.

But as we walked around the store, everything grabbed our attention. The curation of items was full of care. I could have taken almost anything home. The donabe cooking vessel is the central item here. I long to buy one, but since I don't know much about them, I opted for the donabe cookbook (signed!) by the owner first and a stunning mortar and pestle. The service is very Japanese: very kind and grateful. We had no problem finding parking on the street. Prices seemed reasonable for the specific items. I will definitely keep this in mind for beautiful and unique gifts. Looking forward to my next visit and perhaps my first donabe!
