WHAT THE SKOSHBOX?

Let me introduce you to SKOSHBOX, the first Japanese Sweets Subscription Box to hit the market in the U.S.! All their sweets are straight from Japan so you can't find them at the Japanese supermarkets here. They deliver monthly and start at only $10/month! What a perfect gift for someone who is obsessed with Japanese Sweets right!?

Look at HOW CUTE their website is! It's so easy to navigate too!

Zooey was so excited to open her box of sweets when they arrived!!!

Notice those cute little bears on the light? They are from this brand called Manaonami

They are magnetic and can wrap around refrigerator doors, seat belts..so cute! You can find out about them on Zooey's page here. 

Here's a look into the small box. Zooey actually got into all the boxes before I could take a photo..

 Oreo flavored Pocky!!! 

 Hot Chili Salad flavored Pretz!!

I already ate it and it tasted like spicy thai salad. YUMMM.

 

 OBSESSED! Go get your subscription now!

MARUKAI, TOKYO CENTRAL (aka DON QUIXOTE) VIP EVENT REPORT

 Last week I was asked to MC for the TOKYO CENTRAL opening VIP Event.

TOKYO CENTRAL used to be MARUKAI and since joining the DON QUIXOTE GROUP last year they renovated the store to become Tokyo Central.

 The biggest change is the 'delicatessan'

Guests were allowed to try all of the food and experience this new store. 

It was, amazing. 

There was a performance from  famous Koto Artist Yukiko Matsuyama

 As you can see from the signs, it's totally similar to the DON QUIXOTE (or as I say DONKI HOTEI) in Japan, my most favorite specialty store!

 They have EVERYTHING NOW! I'm so excited to start shopping and eating here!

The grand opening is January 22, 2015.

I went to HIROSHIMA to visit my mother in law and sister in law before we all go to LA for me and hubby's wedding next month.  It was such a nice trip, being surrounded by nature.  I think next time we will go by airplane because the ride up by shinkansen was TOUGH!  Anyhow I had a wonderful experience in the countryside.  Can't wait to visit mom in law again!
