  • Today was our family’s final day of shopping at our local American 🇺🇸 Japanese supermarket, Tokyo Central, located in Costa Mesa, California. Yumiko and I have come here nearly every Saturday for ten years. The next time I shop together with my wife will be in Japan. Sayonara, Tokyo Central! 👋 (KB)
    🏠 Experience the emotional final shopping trip of the Bell family to Tokyo Central, their beloved Japanese supermarket in Costa Mesa, California. This video, filmed on their last visit, captures Kurt and Yumiko as they stroll through the aisles they've frequented for a decade, picking up familiar goods that have been a staple in their American-Japanese household. The nostalgia is palpable as they reminisce about past Saturday shopping rituals and prepare for their next chapter in Japan. Join them as they say goodbye to a significant piece of their life in the USA, marking the end of an era and the anticipation of new beginnings.
    Kurt Bell is an ardent journeyer and reflective family man, known for his deep explorations into life’s complexities through his philosophical writings and heartfelt narratives. His works like "Going Alone" and "No More Looking Out For Number One" reveal a life lived with intention and inquiry. As they make this poignant transition from the USA to Japan, follow Kurt and Yumiko on this bittersweet visit to Tokyo Central, capturing last moments and making final goodbyes. 🌄📚🚶‍♂️

      @@softypapa Yes, I have been with you since about 2013. I have always had an interest in Japanese culture. So watching your Japan hikes was amazing. But watching your American adventures has been thrilling as well. I feel like we are old friends. I always look forward to your content and never ending appetite for life. Since we are very similar in life stage and age it is nice to see that my husband and I are not alone and that there are other very like yet unlike us making the most of life and everything that comes with it. Good luck to you and your family! I am happy to be along on the ride with you. Thanks for sharing!,👍❤️

    I saw that warning sign about the teas possibly containing lead. Wow, never heard of such a thing. Is this issue local to California?
