STORY...

This location in Ikaho Town

was originally my maternal grandparents' home.

A place full of family memories.

You can even walk to the stone steps.

My grandfather passed away over 10 years ago, and my grandmother moved into a facility.

As part of the decluttering process, two of the three warehouses were demolished.

And then, the magnificent view of Mount Haruna appeared.

After that, my mother had her childhood friend, Ken-chan,

repaint the exterior of the one remaining rusty warehouse.

Ken-chan chose the color

and repainted it moss green.

Seeing the beautifully reborn warehouse and

the magnificent view,

I decided to open a shop here in the winter of 2022.

Three years passed until the opening... during that time, I got pregnant with my third child, gave birth, and suffered from postpartum depression!

It took a little time, but

we were finally able to open.

It's all thanks to everyone that this could be realized.

Thanks to our customers, business partners, family, and friends.

My sincere gratitude to all.
