R I O S A N

RIO from La Avenue, flew in from Tokyo to take care of some necessary business and didn't take a break after he landed. Its all business and no pleasure this time around, just buying A LOT of shoes, eating some good food and attending some big meetings is on the planner.

I always tell RIO all I need is the Limited Kit Kat flavors that they only offer in Japan, but sometimes they do pop up at your favorite Japanese markets, Nijiya, Mitsuwa, Marukai, etc...

This time around, he got me Apple flavor and Honeydew Melon :)

We held a pretty big meeting @ Hazuki Restaurant, which is located across the street in the Japanese Village Plaza 2nd Floor. The owner is actually their only chef and he opened this restaurant only because he won the Lottery years ago (LUCKY @SS). Tell me why they take like 30 mins to make each plate though and they only have 1 waitress!

You know its an authentic Japanese restaurant when the menu is all in Kanji. Shoot let us just get everything on the menu! No california rolls or crunch rolls here... only FRESH sushi.
