Matsuri means festival in Japanese.
This is my second year joining Phoenix Matsuri.
Wearing Kimono and drinking Asahi beer is a way to celebrate Japanese festival.
Compared to Matsuri in L.A, this is very small, but perfect gataway for the weekend!
We had Yakitori-ish ( haha ) dish, asahi beer, shaved ice, ramune, and watched taiko and some dance.
The best part was, of course, wearing Kimono.
Morayma wore green sakura print kimono ( this is dance kimono ) with Gaera Flower Pin.
Ana wore red peacock print kimono ( this is dance kimono ) with Gaera silk Hair Clip.
I wore yellow cotton Yukata ( summer kimono ) with orange flower pin made by me.
Unfortunately, my husband didn't wear any kimono. Next year, I will buy him a men's Yukata ... !! But from where? online... or perhaps a trip to Japan!?
It was a great way to introduce some Japanese culture to my friends :)
Oh my favorite restaurant Roka Akor was there, but didn't know so we ended up eating at different stand. Wish we knew it...
