Rainier Teriyaki's legacy lives on with Juyoung Kim 🌟 ⁠ ⁠ Following the devastating loss of its founder, Hansoo Kim, Rainier Teriyaki temporarily closed its doors this year. Now under the leadership of Hansoo's son, Juyoung, the restaurant has reopened, and the community has warmly welcomed their return. ⁠ ⁠ We had the honor of catching up with Juyoung who shared, "My father was the hardest working man I knew and I hope as I share his story and mine I can encourage others to love one another as if today is their last." ⁠ ⁠ Read more via the Intentionalist blog.

Feeling tea-lighted and cozy at Young Tea! We caught up with @youngteausa owner Caroline Lee for a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony to celebrate the recent addition of her 8 Scent Jasmine Pearl to Intentionalist’s #AANHPI Marketplace! 🍃 8 Scent Jasmine Pearl consists of silvery buds and tender young leaves picked in spring from southern China. 🌼 Each pearl is individually hand-rolled and left among the night-blooming jasmine blossoms over a period of 6 to 8 hours to fully absorb their floral sweetness. 🫖 Just a few days left to save 20% on everything in the AANHPI Marketplace, including the delightful Jasmine Pearl! Don’t miss out, shop now through the link in our bio. #BeIntentional #SpendLikeItmatters

🥳 Happy 31st Birthday to Uptown China! 🎈⁠ ⁠ On the surface, Uptown China is about preparing delicious meals with fresh ingredients and generous portion sizes but, at the end of the day, the heart of the restaurant is its place in the local community.⁠ ⁠ Owner Yu-Mei Wang says, "One of my greatest pleasures is chatting with my customers when they come in to eat or drink. I have had the pleasure of watching children grow up and now they are bringing their families in for a meal."⁠ ⁠ Send @uptownchina a very happy birthday in the comments below. Cheers to 31 years! ⁠ ⁠ Pictured: @lauraclise, Yu-Mei Wang, @seattlestorm's Yvonne Turner, @crystalanghorne ⁠ ⁠ #BeIntentional #SpendLikeItMatters
