Mysterious Shutters

First Avenue Japanese favorite Sapporo East has been closed for the past few days with no sign indicating a holiday break, and no message on the answering machine about the closure. EV Grieve notes that when the restaurant took a break in 2010 for some "emergency construction," the owners put up signs about the temporary closure. Sapporo East is one of Sietsema's favorite international greasy spoons. [EV Grieve]
