Happy Halloween!
At Hibino this year, we are dressed as Japanese kindergarten children.This yellow hat & oversized smock look is a typical Japanese kindergarten uniform (at least in the 70's and 80's). We are grown ups now but are getting in touch with our inner children on this Halloween...

Tohoku Sakagura Ekiden Race has started!

2011-06-17T16:37:00.000-07:00

The race has started!

We divided our server into 2 teams:
Team Akiko & Team Toru.
Team captain Akiko & Toru would decide the order of the
sake they would be selling. Whichever the team sells out
150 glasses of Sake from all over Tohoku first would win!

We are offering these sake at a discounted price,
so it'll be a win-win situation ;-)

First runner for the Team Akiko is Dewa San San
from Dewazakura Shuzo Co. in YAMAGATA.

This is Mariko from Team Akiko :-)

First runner for the Team Toru is Take no Tsuyu
from Takenotsuyu Co. in YAMAGATA as well.

This is Toru (team captain) from Team Toru.
(He happened to be an avid runner himself :-)

When you order the sake from the race,
you'll get a card with the sake info.
If you liked that sake, please write a message to the
sakagura (brewery) on the back of the card.
Then, we'll mail your massage to each sakagura.

I think people at sakagura in Tohoku would be touched by your messages.

Tohoku Sakagura Ekiden Race will start soon!

Ekiden Race. Road Relay.
It is a sport where multiple runners run for a great distance
in relay style, competing for the speed.

Back in the old days in Japan, in order to deliver words to
one’s friends in the distance, Ekiden method was used.
It was because of the fact that multiple runners forwarding
the message from one to another in sections is faster
than just one runner carrying it for the entire way.

Now in Japan, there are people who have started to run.
They are running for the sake of the recovery of Japan,
they are far from Brooklyn.
We would like to send them a message. “You are beautiful.”

This time at Hibino, our staff has been divided into 2 teams,
and the teams would introduce you to some of the
Tohoku region Sake breweries in the style of Ekiden..
where the Sake is our runners.

2 Teams x Tohoku Sake (on discounted prices!) at Hibino

The race begins this Friday Night the June 17th.

かつて日本人は遠くの友人に言葉を伝える時　駅伝を用いた。
一人が長距離を走るよりも複数の走者が交代で走る方が
はやく言葉を伝える事ができるからである。

日本に再起をかけて走り出した人々がいる。
彼らはブルックリンから遠くにはなれている。
彼らに伝えたい。
「貴方たちの走る姿は美しい」と。

駅伝レース。Road Relay.　
数人が長距離をリレー形式で走りそのタイムを競う陸上競技。

今回、日比のスタッフが２チームに分かれ酒を走者にみたて、
東北６県の酒をリレー形式で紹介していきます。

Halloween 2010

2010-11-01T19:53:00.000-07:00

This year, our Halloween theme was "Kaminari-sama."
Kaminari-sama is a Japanese thunder god, the personification
or source of the forces of thunder and lightning.

This is a representation of traditional thunder god.

We took inspiration from famous comedy skit in 80’s TV program - Hachiji Dayo Zen-in Shugo!

Here we are!

One of our guests was a tooth brush :-)

Our sexy orange-kaminari-sama cashier.

Chef Hirohisa dressed in blue.

Kim-kun the purple rain :-)

Masaru is in Eco conscious green.

We use thunder bolt electricity for today's cooking :-)

Server Kaminaris are busy taking orders from the guests!

Happy Halloween to all :-)
