IGNORE THE DRESS CODE If the invite says “black tie optional,” showing up in a sundress isn’t appropriate—nor is showing up in a ball gown for a casual wedding. BRING AN UNINVITED GUEST Surprises are a no-no. If the couple didn’t say you could have a plus-one, don’t assume you can. GRAB A BOTTLE FROM THE OPEN BAR A beer bottle is fine, but when it comes to bubbly, let the waiter or bartender do the pouring. BE OVEREAGER WITH THE BOUQUET TOSS Remember, you’re not catching a pass on the football field. Let the flowers land naturally where they’re thrown. BRING A BIG GIFT TO THE CEREMONY It’s more respectful to send a heavy or cumbersome gift to the couple’s home. Simply bring a card on the day itself.…

While we celebrate the GH Seal’s 110th anniversary, Kikkoman is enjoying its own milestone: 55 years as a GH Seal star. We caught up with Masanao Shimada, who runs the company’s North American business, to mark the occasion.

stay “The Kahala Hotel & Resort is like a private oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. I used to come to the hotel a lot when I was a kid, and nowadays it’s my go-to spot when I need a staycation. Plumeria Beach House, one of its five restaurants, is a great place for a scenic seaside meal and has the best dessert bar of all time!” eat “You’ll find amazing fresh fruit on O’ahu. I love having a Hapa Bowl (a blend of açai, bananas, strawberries and blueberries) from Hale’iwa Bowls after a day of surfing. To try fruits that aren’t as common in traditional markets, visit Kahuku Land Farms Fruit Stand on the North Shore. There’s dragon fruit, star fruit and coconuts they’ll…

Since they are such a critical staple before potty training, our fiber scientists diligently analyze construction, softness and absorbency to find the best of the best.
