Oh wow, intresting.

I'll be sure to visit the store if I go to Tokyo.

Thanks for the info.

This is so cool! Thank you for sharing! I would have bought some chocolate and a lovely candle too... one of the candles Ayu's obsessed with and always talking about. :D

One day when I go Tokyo, I will definitely make sure I stop by the hanaBi store

Thanks for sharing! I would go if I ever visited Japan :yes.

Thank you very much ; ) She's beautiful here! And indeed a rare pic!

Thanks for sharing this with us :D
That store looks so cute! Candles, flowers and chocolate *_* If I went to Tokyo I'll be sure to visit it

wow really? didn't know that i should have got one...which flavour is the candle?

Yep, I went there last time too. It's right down the street from my hotel actually. :)

I didn't see Ayu's Mom either, but I did see the guy that she was supposedly dating who had supposedly been Ayu's high school boyfriend.

i'll definitely go there if i go to Japan!

I didn't necessarily want to create a new thread, but I went to hanaBi the other day and got a few things and thought I'd share some pictures!

3,500 yen.
These are so good! Dark and light chocolate. They look thin, but they're actually really thick! I was surprised.

500 yen.
Raspberry chocolates. Really, really good. I've had the chocolates in the refrigerator so these taste a bit like ice cream! :)

We spent over 3,000 yen so we received a present. The present was chocolates with Ayu's dogs on them. I chose Crea :D

I also received a little soap [Olive & Lavender scent] and got my polaroid taken with my roommate.

It's a really beautiful store!

thanks for sharing, when i'll be in Tokyo i'll surely have a look there (but not buying anything, usually it's difficult for me to repackage my luggages LOL)

^ Ahhh that store is so incredible! The staff and just the way everything works is so great really!

Those chocolates look so yummy! I'm such a chocoholic so I'm dying for them now!!

OMG chocolates with Ayu's dogs on them!! Why am I not surprised... Thanks for sharing!!

awww Crea looks so cute on that chocolate *_*
I like those packages, they looks really classy :yes

thanks for sharing!

How cute! I want a chocolate with CREA on it~
Thanks for sharing!

^It's probably around 35 USD.

For $35 that better be the grandaddy's momma of all chocolates and be the best thing I've ever tasted. :laugh That's really neat though, had no idea Ayu's mom had a shop. Just another thing on my Future Japan trip to-do list. :D

its quite expensive but i agree those chocolate looks really good and the gift is really cute . i guess all stores in tokyo or near tokyo area have to overchage to survive. rent a better space for her store must cost her more now .
