Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who nominated us for the Taranaki Top Shop awards! We had the privilege of attending the awards night, and this year we were thrilled to bring along our wonderful manager, Mika, and super talented, Chef Kazu. (Last year we took Chef Harumi, and the year before, Minami!) It is always so special to share a night out with our dream team.

While we didnโ€™t take home the trophy this time, we already feel like winners because of the incredible staff we have and the amazing loyalty of our customers.

A lovely little highlight from the night: while we were all out on the dance floor, a lady approached us and revealed she was our "secret shopper" judge! She happened to visit on a night Mika was managing and told us she gave us top marks for excellent service. It was incredibly moving to hear that, and seeing Mika acknowledged like that might have brought a tear or two to my eyes!

Thank you all so much for your continued support!
