That’s awesome! I would go almost everyday to have lunch there when time allowed it, but unfortunatelly I moved down to South Carolina and haven’t been in nearly 4 months :(. Akai Hana though is amazing! I would do anything to be able to go there and pick up a few study books/children books; I regret not buying a few before moving!
Anyway, lucky you. I am envious ha-ha. Also, http://www.whiterabbitpress.com will literally order/gather/ship anything you want from Japan and send it to you for a fee + the cost of the item. I have used them twice so far and have been very pleased!
