Like a woman denied her Japanese bakery!

Everything went according to schedule, even left work ten minutes early because I finished my work. Get to the bakery and what do I find? A new sign. This one saying that the store was temporarily closed until further notice due to emergency construction ( Read more... )

Ooh, I tell you what: I never go out to Blaine's shop and randomly choose a tool that looks well-used and on its last legs and throw it away. If he ever discards one of my kitchen tools without asking first... *sees red*

Am so sorry about the stupid store! They don't deserve your money, and for your inconvenience they should give you a subscription to the mochi-of-the-month club.

Aw man! I'm SO bummed for you! That is a great disappointment. *shakes fist at store* Perhaps there is a different Japanese market closer to home? I know it's not the same.

the persimmon mochi, the pumpkin mochi, the mochi where the red bean is on the outside and the mochi's inside, and the pound cake with the white bean inside and the

Good lord! *drooools* I've never heard of those kind of mochi desserts. OK. Now I really feel your pain.

And wow! Your dad is pretty bold to throw out you mom's electric burner. So, does that mean she can't make her smoked chicken anymore?

Yes! They have ALL sorts of mochi (and other wagashi) goodness in their store. What they show online and what they have available for mail-order isn't nearly as diverse as what they actually carry in-store. For these sorts of things, you really do have to go to a real Japanese bakery. Sadly, DC is lacking in this area. It's mostly Chinese and Korean. That's why this would've been so special! Bah ( ... )

*bounces*

I can't wait! Although, I'll have to wait a few weeks when I'm back in town to get it. But what a joy to anticipate!!!!

Aww, poor thing! And after all you went through! Grrr! Don't these people realize??? I think it's time you went on a quest for another Japanese bakery!

Hugs I'm sorry.

I hope everything goes well with family etc.

And that when you get back there will be much Mochi for everyone.
