TGIF! How are you?
Father's Day is coming up on June 21, and I have three things to share with you this time — sushi, coffee, and a knife!
First -
Big news on our end.
Yama Sushi Marketplace — one of the most trusted Japanese markets in Los Angeles since 1984 — is now carrying our products on their shelves!
I wrote a full article about Yama: the story of Mr. Yama, the fish broker, the famous California roll people line up for every day, and a little mystery I fell into — nobody actually knows who invented the California roll.
There are two competing stories.
I went down the rabbit hole for you : )
Second -
If your dad runs on coffee, our premium Japanese coffees are on sale right now at Japanese Coffee Co. for Father's Day. Charcoal-roasted sumiyaki, single origins — the kind of coffee Dad would never buy for himself but will finish in a week.
Third -
And for the dad who cooks (or at least claims the grill as his territory) — every knife at Japanese Knife Co. is 10% off with coupon code DAD. A handcrafted Japanese knife is one of those gifts that gets used for decades.
That's it for this time. If you make it to Yama, tell me what you tried — I want to know if you waited in the same line I did : )
I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!
