Been coming here for 40 years now. They have a beautiful and thoughtfully curated selection of Japanese kitchenware and ceramics, and the range of tea is pretty extensive. Other favorite departments are the incense, the (small but nice) selection of office supplies, and the wall of cute pens! Really fun place to visit.

A must to go in! Quality items and a nice store layout and presentation. We love these cat plates we took home. Stuffies (like Pusheen) are really expensive but the other items were reasonably priced.

The service is fine not great not bad. If you like Sanrio this is def the place for you! The selection goes from plushies to tea and even some really cool Fune China! It's not very expensive but it's not that cheap either.
