Visited the Lumine store which is under preparation.  Avi was like a celebrity that all the staff wants to have picture with him. : ) 

The store is looking beautiful, almost there.

Mini Osaka tour

 
 

 

We gave a mini Osaka tour to Avi. Our first stop of course is the new store in Hanshin dept store. We also stopped by the renewal opened Hankyu store. It was a lot of people. Then we went to Namba area which is an area cannot be missed.

Avi in Osaka

Avi arrived Osaka !! We went to eat Yakiniku. It was sooooo good and I was too full.  Maeda-san got us a custom made bracelet with the word Sabon.  It's always so nice of him.  
 
 

Kobe

It's been more than 10 years since I last came to Kobe. Shoko-chan is always there to take me around. I feel like I am always eating when I am with Shoko. First we ate Okonomiyaki, then we had coffee at this Starbucks house in Kitano, then we drank 3 glasses of champagne within 1 hour at this nice restaurant calle 64 near her apartment. We were pretty drunk by the time we went out. Then we went to eat Korean BBQ. I passed out sleeping in her carpet but we had such a good time.


  



 

Shoko is such a Sabon fan, she has Sabon products everywhere. It was so happy and almost feels 不思議 to see Sabon around in Japan.
