When I was up in the Bay Area, I went to Kinokuniya in Japantown to peruse the Japanese craft books. That section was pretty well picked over, but I went down another aisle and a new section was unveiled to me: the food books. Aiyaaaa! Hold me back!
Here’s one book I got. It’s a petite book all about SNACKS, and the author is named Mariko.
It has very nice drawings and photos, as you can see:
The ISBN is 4-396-41073-5.
The other book is all about fluffy snacks:
Here are a few pages:
The ISBN is 4-579-20937-0
I leave you with this photo of Megan and me that Thuy took. We were having refreshments at the cute little tea shop next to Kinokuniya. Megan got an iced cocoa, Thuy had the matcha float, and I had a pot of Darjeeling. Megan looks to be eyeing Thuy’s float, doesn’t she? This photo was taken before Megan cut my hair. I now sport a sort of shaggy mullet.
Hey me too! I was just at Kinokuniya Thursday. I like the selection of beading books. Wow, those look like wonderful books you got. Hope your run went well. (I enjoy reading about your sewing!) Terry in SF
how lovely to see your head!
I can’t believe you’ve never been to that cafe before then! It’s Mariko heaven. Your book is adorable, did you see those beading books by the knitting ones? So interesting. I love that place. (Show us the shaggy mullet).
