Another spontaneous Nihonmachi trip.

I love San Francisco, and I love its Japan Town. I took a random trip like I love to do when there isn't an event going. On the wota side of things, The Hello!Project section at Kinokuniya got a lot bigger since my last visit. There was nearly a copy of every single Morning Musume Album and decent selection of Ayaya, Maki, and Nacchi as well. I picked up a little gem while I was there. It was "16sai no koi nante" a duet with Yajimi Mami from C-ute and Morning Musume OG and my personal Goddess Abe Natsumi. It was only $3.00 and it's a really fun song! YUI's new single Gloria was on sale, but I skipped out on buying it.


I decided to head over to the new addition, "New People". I've been meaning to visit since the day it opened but I was either too lazy or too busy.

From the outside the place looks pretty cool the entrance almost seems like its in bold and the two front glass doors are a bit intimidating. I thought the place was going to be a lot bigger and have a lot more shops, but I was wrong. Still the place is interesting and was worth the visit. It makes a great night light for the Peace Tower in the plaza there.


During this whole trip I was starving, so finally it was time to eat. Just in time for Mifune's Lunch Special. It was down to the wire on the time remaining before they stopped serving it! Hurry!

I love this restaurant to death, its definatley my go-to spot when I want to eat in Japan Town, given I'm not broke. I decided to go with the Tori Udon and Curry Combination because I've been craving curry. The meal was worth every penny.

After that meal I just wanted to go home and sleep it off! I did some light grocery shopping at the market there. I definatley had to grab a bag of my all time favorite coffee before leaving, UCC Kona Blend! I suggest trying it, its fantastic. The random trip out of bored proved successful yet again!
