You make us feel making bento is an act of mothers' love to our children and it is not as difficult as what we thought it might be. Keep up your good work.

They have authentic and freshest stuff! I love browsing there whenever I can, which is quite a luxury. <BR/><BR/>Most of the brands they carry are premium brands so it's fine to buy other brands. <BR/><BR/>While you're shopping for Japanese ingredients, I assume you plan to start cooking Japanese food, please get a bag of Katsuobushi to make Dashi. Check out my latest post @ http://onabentofrenzy.blogspot.com/2008/08/all-purpose-dashi.html<BR/><BR/>Ask for assistance from the people behind the food counters, they are very helpful.<BR/><BR/>I'm planning to make more slide shows to showcase some Japanese food like Tamagoyaki, Miso soup etc.Bento Pethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712867596618586380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939411475431504418.post-31742671953876951102008-08-07T16:39:00.000+08:002008-08-07T16:39:00.000+08:00I finished court at 4pm and ran over to Isetan to ...I finished court at 4pm and ran over to Isetan to get those shoyu,mirin etc that was sold out in Jaya Jusco and guees what? there were so many brands compared to Jaya Jusco I got confused again.
