Kinokuniya Japanese Bookstore

The coolest bookstore in Houston. Full of great Japanese items you can't find elsewhere: notebooks and paper goods, Japanese toys, and extensive coobook section. One of my favorite places to just hang out in Houston. And while you're out there, you can pop into the beautiful Katy H-Mart Food Court for some excellent fried dumplings at Chef Han. Or, enjoy one of the other food court venues for lunch. Pictures follow:

Japan - Japan in Houston

A food tour, explore, field trip...call it what you will. Houston has a group of Japanese stores that make for a terrific Saturday exploration. Followed, of course by Japanese food for lunch!

Begin your day at the Japanese department store, Daiso. Coolest store on Westheimer. Then, have a mid morning snack at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar. Then, head to Nippan Daido for more shopping and then on to Seiwa on Dairy Ashford for shopping and lunch!

And never forget. Panda is always chilling and cute kittens have a whimsical life!
