I can't seem to stay away from this store . . . even though everything is so expensive there. I'm so glad that I went yesterday because they were giving away samples. Besides this meat there were tomato, melon (the $60 one), and little musubi samples . . . all veeeery delicious.
I actually went there to see if maybe they might've discounted this mochi yet 'cause I knew that the expiration date is coming up. Welllllll, not only had it not been discounted, but this is the last box they had. No, I didn't buy it.
I almost bought this Lemon Honey. The honey has Shikoku lemon in it and looked so good . . . but it was around $15 so I decided not to.
I did buy this kuromame. I wanted to buy it the last time I was there, but didn't. It was $4.50. It's good. I had to force myself to not eat the whole thing.
This pickled egglant was discounted 30%. I got it for $5.25.
I wasn't sure how to cut it. I think this way it looks pretty.
I also got this narazuke . . . $13.50. EXPENSIVE!!! But oishiiiiii.
So crunchy. Landon doesn't like it, but Wendell does.
Cute yah! In the back is some won bok that I salted to make into kim chee, but never got the kim chee base yet so been eating with just some shoyu.
I thought this shoyu looked intriguing. It says that it will make your eggs taste good. I wasn't sure if I was reading it right so I asked the guy there if the kanji said "tamago" (egg). He said yes. He said that they use it on top of tamago kake gohan (raw egg on rice). I bought a bottle. It was $6.25.
As soon as I got home I boiled some eggs. While it was still warm I poured some of the shoyu on top. IT WAS GOOOOOOOD!!!!! Even Wendell said that it was VERY good.
I almost bought some wagyu beef again. But I didn't. And now I wish that I did. And I don't even care for beef . . . normally. But OMG . . . BUTTAH.

j: that's cool. I was thinking of going but decide I wanted hele out of town more. I did go to Keeaumoku Store and they had kuri for only $.29, the one you showed in your pix. When I came home I found out why, the expiration date is in August. Can't beat that price! Nijiya had it a Japanese made one for $3.29 so I saved $3. I will check out J-store though I probably can only afford to look (and hopefully taste) -N
Oh my gosh. I am so curious about this store now. I should have checked it out today! Thanks for sharing. And sorry I didn't get to comment earlier, but the video of your butterfly was amazing! So did you let it go free?
Hi Jalna! We're back from Hawaii! We stayed at my daughter for 4 days and flew to Big Island for a week. Because you mentioned this store before so while in Oahu we checked it out. Everything seem so expensive but it was fun! I know the storm(s) is coming in your way, be safe. And I hope you will be back soon.

Ho, N, 29 cents! Whata bargain! They musta bought tons and tons of that kuri. I bought lots myself when it was 79 cents.

Look so ono. I have to go check it out.
Didi, it's actually a pretty small store, so not too overwhelming.
Yah, Jenny, the butterfly is free. I worried about it a little bit when it was pouring rain.
You gotta check out da meat, Erick!
