Today I was out running around, doing a bit of this & a bit of that and as I was heading home I passed by Uwajimaya. We are very lucky to have one of the three Uwajimaya stores right down the road from us and I often stop in for a look see ...
Uwajimaya is an Asian market which features food & gift items from all over Asia but focused primarily on Japanese goods. It is still a family owned business and is based in Seattle, Wa. Started in 1928 it was originally located in Tacoma, Wa but the family was sent to a Japanese Internment Camp during WWII and when they were released they resettled in Seattle.
They always has the most interesting stuff for sale and is always worth taking the time to pop in ....
Today I went mainly looking for fresh fruits & veggies. They have an amazing selection of fresh fruit & veggies and carry the most unusual selection too. Today I went in search of Napa Cabbage which happens to be a favorite of mine - LOVE IT - and bean sprouts - LOVE THEM TOO!
My biggest problem in the store is that many of the packages in the store are written primarily in Japanese or Chinese and so not only do I not recognize what is in the package but I can't read the label either ...
Anyways, after getting the usual 'salad fixin's' I decided to head over to the Meat & Seafood area to check out what they had lurking over in that section ...
I found quite an interesting selection:
- Chicken Feet - 1.89/lb
- Pig's Feet - 1.79/lb
- Cow hooves - 1.89/lb
- Chicken Heart Tips - 2.99/'b
- Fish Heads - .99/lb
- Beef Tongue - 3.99/lb
Just looking ... none of these items were on my list today!
And now for some 'Mighty Good News' (no, Mike didn't find a job yet) ...
Katy just found out she is going to receive another scholarship from the Bio-Science Department again this year ... WELL DONE KATE! She will receive the scholarship when I am out at WSU for Mom's Weekend in April!
Congratulations Katy
