right before we moved to austin we took a trip to oakland and visited umami mart, an amazing barware store that imports everything from japan. it's one of those places that makes you want to replace everything in your kitchen asap. {they now have a shop in SF's nova neighborhood, too!} because we were moving, and we knew we "needed" a fancy bar area to entertain folks in our new home, it was the obvious choice to invest in some of their awesome stuff via their website when we got to texas. i'm so happy we did.
