The world is still connected!🌏

Since February 2020, we've had to give up many opportunities to meet new business partners. 😢

But the greatest thing about human beings is that we never give up creating new ways to communicate with people. ✨

We have been participating in online business meetings very often these days!😆🎉🎉

Time for discussion is limited, but we try to get straight to the point sooner and more clearly than before.

At least you can see each other's face, so it's no difference from real face-to-face conversations, and you can talk to people overseas without taking time to fly to meet them!✈️

The PC monitor is literally like Doraemon's DOKODEMO DOOR !✨

Nukazuke: Japanese Rice Bran Pickles

Have you ever heard of Nukazuke pickles?

The Nukazuke in the photo is what our boss pickled in the kitchen at our office.


Nukazuke pickles are vegetables pickled in a nukadoko, a fermented rice bran bed, for more than one or two days. It’s comfortably salty-sour, and you can taste good umami flavor. The longer the vegetables are left in the nukadoko, the richer the flavor will be. Nukazuke is a fermented food, so it’s believed to contribute a lot to your better immune system. It’s literally a natural probiotic super food!

Nowadays it’s getting easier to find rice bran or even an easy nukazuke kit from Amazon or other online stores. Let’s start living a healthier life by eating Japanese nukazuke pickles!

Picked plums in my backyard, and made plum liquor.
I need to be patient for a while until it's ready to drink in about 3 months.
Well, I don't think I can wait so long!!

Hi, everyone. Let us introduce our office today!
Oops, sorry...! It's so messy...

We were tele-working until last week, and today is the first day working at the offie for every staff member after we started remote work on April 6th.

The first thing we did this morning was to set up vinyl curtains to protect each other from infections.

It's just a precaution, but we need to do whatever we can do to make ourselves comfortable at work.

Well, we hope things will get back to normal soon!

Rainy season is called "梅雨" (tsuyu) in Japanese, which literally means "Plum Rain".
The reason why we call it “Plum Rain” is because plums are just ripening in this time of the year.
Now is the best plum picking season, and homemade umeshu (plum liquor), or umeboshi (pickled plum) have always been very popular in Japan since long ago. 🙂
