Little Tokyo: Ima and Hello Kitty
Posted in LA County, LA News on August 4th, 2008 by BB – Be the first to commentShortly after writing up the post about Fulfilled on Friday, I headed out to Little Tokyo for a taste of traditional imagawayaki. My destination? Mitsuru Cafe in the Japanese Village Plaza.
My initial visit was brought to a halt as I exited the first floor parking garage into the plaza. Behold! A brand new Sanrio store is born! As I was browsing near the front counter I asked an employee how long they had been open. It was their first day of business! This meant an entire Sanrio store virtually untouched by sticky little hands! There was much rejoicing.
This store is good-sized and sparkling new with a subsequently large collection of all the usual characters and a small selection of “For use in Japan only” products along the back wall. Employees were busy finishing up displays still in the mid-afternoon.
