So many choices lined up, I couldn't decide.
The owner gently suggested today’s best pick.
That small conversation is why I keep coming back.
Cash only. No English menu. Just point and smile.

Taishōrō, Koriyama.
A local friend brought me here about a year ago. Since then, I keep coming back.
I always mean to try something new — and I always end up with the grilled liver set meal.
Some habits are just too good to break.

At the end of 2024, I moved from Tokyo to Fukushima.
As a creative director and CEO, I could work anywhere. I chose here.
I'm still figuring out what I can build—and what I can contribute.
This is where I share what I see: the food, the people, the quiet moments that don't make it into guidebooks.
