Japanese Santa

We wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy new year. We are closed but will open Friday December 28th at 6pm. We will answer phone reservations that afternoon. (We can't go in as we've 'done' the floor with Polycure).

We thank all our patrons for coming in this year. Without you there wouldn't be a Tsunami and we want to say that we appreciate you.

Anyway just to finish the year on something humourous. From the 'only in Japan' category.

Have a good one!

TOKYO — Precious metals company Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo on Tuesday unveiled two 200 million yen Santa Claus statues made of pure gold. The company said it took three months to make the 42-centimeter-tall seasonal figures using 20 kilograms of pure gold and a total of 1.7 carats of diamonds that decorate the belt.

The two Santa Claus figures will be displayed one each in Tokyo and Osaka until Dec 25.
