TOKYO JP  After moving into a sparkling new home five years ago, Blue & White’s lease ends on December 31. At that time, our favorite shop in Tokyo will be packing up and out.

Right now, Amy and her daughter Sayako do not know where the shop will be landing. The hunt is on for a new home!

The door handle to Blue & White:
