Happy that we can help the others!

During our two days of "Casual Day", we raised $42 by selling lowered price of J vineyard sparkling wine. To this we added $21, which we promised to donate $1 per Buddha's Blend roll sold on April, and on top of that total, $144 was added by owner and employees of Sushi Mono.

So, total of $207 is donated to Zimbabwe families through GlobalGiving Foundation.

Our donation of $180 will be feeding 3 families of 4 people for 4 months! How great is that!

We are very happy that we really can help the others, and will keep on going to make this world a better place! Thank you.

We only sold this wine by the bottle. However, we decided to sell this by the glass on our Casual Day, which is this coming Friday & Saturday.

Get the Ideas from the Past

Bankei Yōtaku (盤珪永琢, 1622~1693) was a well-known Japanese Rinzai Zen Buddhist master, and the abbot of the Ryomon-ji and Nyoho-ji.

Bankei is most well known for his talks on the "Unborn" as he called it. Bankei's brilliance and directness reminds one of the style and approach of the ancient masters of the Ch'an tradition during the T'ang Dynasty.

Bankei evolved his personal calligraphic style. Other monks have made this circle with a single stroke, symbolizing the all, the void, and the moment of enlightenment when samsara, this world of sorrow, becomes nirvana. Bankei, ever the individualist, used two strokes, each strongly and quickly articulated. The effect is to give an entirely new meaning to the form; the strokes enclose each other like an embrace yet still suggest both emptiness and completion.

Guess where Sushi Mono's symbol came from?

Again, in Japanese "mono" means "human being(者)" and also it means "things in universe(物)". In English, we could say it represents "One". Hence, Sushi Mono logo has a meaning of "unify all things in universe".
