🖼️ PINS ARE HERE! PHOTOS PHOTOS PHOTOS
I had posted a reel to my Instagram showing that my pin backer cards came in - You can watch the unboxing video here, but in this update I've got THE GOOD STUFF FOR YOU MY LOVE. These pins literally came in at frikkin 8PM last night, after teasing me all day long. Photos have been added at the bottom of this update! The pins that arrived were:
- Uni Onagadori 2nd Edition Recolor
- Grizzly Gyudon 🌟
- Teddy Tekkadon 🌟
- Sika Spring Roll ♂ 🌟
- Axlcado Roll 🌟
- Cutecumber Roll 🌟
- SecreTeriyaki Stir Fry Restock
PLEASE NOTE: There is more work ahead before these pins are shipped. Jo and I are grading and carding these pins, then we'll get them ready to go into Tasting Room Pin Club Member's next Maki Mail shipment. After all Pin Club members have been served, we'll ship out any remaining preorders.
🐆 LOW STOCK ALERT: Suzuki Snow Leopard!
It was brought to my attention that the regular flavor Suzuki Snow Leopard were listed on the site as being out of stock. Lucky for you, I have FIVE LEFT. If you were holding out on this one, nows a good chance to grab it! Once they're gone, I'll put them in the Restocks section of the Kitchen. I still have the Limited Edition Salmon Flavor Suzuki Snow Leopard in stock, but those are running low as well.
🏆 Earn achievements!
I've been doing some major overhauls of some systems that were just not working as intended, and I'm excited to let you know that the Maneki Neki Achievements was one of them! Do you know about Maneki Neko achievements? If not, I think you'll like it.
You can find your Guest Check at Sushitomodachi.co/Neko - One each Guest Check, there are certain tasks to do, and you'll recieve an Achievement in your next order for completing them. Some tasks are made for cons as well, so you can claim them at con! Once you've "completed your Guest check" (aka collected the required achievements), you can turn them in to get an exclusive Maneki Neko Pin that you can ONLY get from the game! Neat, huh? Right now, there is one Guest Check available, and the tasks involve inviting people to the Sushi Bar, but more checks are going to be unlocked as people complete them and claim their Maneki Nekos! There will be tasks you can complete online and offline. If you have any questions about the game or it's rewards, just write back! You can visit the Maneki Neko Achievements page right now to see what Nekos can be unlocked.
🎪 FWA Prep Under Way!
The Sushi Bar will be in the FWA Vendor Hall in AmericasMart at Location G-29! The vendor map doesn't seem to be online yet, but that's what they've told me so far. I'll be sharing the map and location to everyone who RSVPs, so consider doing that if you plan on being there! We are particularly excited because we will have the Maneki Neko game with tasks happening IN PERSON at the booth. Stop by to get a Guest Check, complete the tasks, earn an exclusive Maneki Neko pin!
Additionally, my convention exclusive Peach Roll pin is on track to be at the con too. Supplies will be limited! This pin will ONLY be available when the Sushi Tomodachi Sushi Bar visits conventions in Georgia (because peaches!) so you won't want to be missing this one!

Now, how about them photos?






Thanks again for reading, and remember that you can always just write back to me if you have any questions, if the link in the email is broken, whathaveyou. Can't wait to serve you again!
