BLENDS | About Us















Blends 
began with the simple concept to provide a unique shopping experience for consumers. 
 Having grown up in Japan, owners 
Tak Kato and Mike Toe wanted to bring an international perspective
to the 
industry by blending international tastes with global level products. Our first location opened a
little over 20 years ago
in 2003 in Costa Mesa California. Over the years we increased our industry presence
and grown to five brick 
and mortar locations in Costa Mesa, San Diego,
and Downtown Los Angeles.
