After a long 55 years in business Mr Kimura and his family closed down shop this past summer. So we’re glad and honored to take over the shop and its long history.
Kimura and his family gifted us with a awesome and very tasty cake for our grand opening.
4 hours past by since we opened the doors to the public.
The line was still around the corner!
It was a hectic and busy day but it went so well.
Thank you everyone for being so patient.
It was a Great turn out. We couldnt of asked for more.
Hope to see everyone soon.
