Walking down Namiki-dori at dusk,
I wandered into a small butcher shop.
Bought a croquette.
So light, I almost forgot it was fried.
Nothing fancy.
Just warmth, and the smell of something homemade.ใ

Trays of homemade dishes lined up โ fried foods, simmered vegetables, and more.

Takada Foods (้ซ็ฐ้ฃๅๅบ) in Fukushima โ a sozaiya selling homemade dishes.
So many choices lined up, I couldn't decide.
The owner gently suggested todayโs best pick.
That small conversation is why I keep coming back.
Cash only. No English menu. Just point and smile.
10 min walk from Fukushima Station.
Beautiful light.ใI love this scene.

Taishลrล, a neighborhood Chinese restaurant in Koriyama, Fukushima. A smiling Budai statue stands at the entrance. The sign reads "Chinese Cuisine" in Japanese.
Stir-fried liver and onions in a rich savory sauce โ the dish I can never say no to.
The grilled liver set meal: stir-fried liver, rice, soup, and pickles.This is what a good lunch looks like.
Taishลrล, Koriyama.
A local friend brought me here about a year ago. Since then, I keep coming back.
I always mean to try something new โ 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 buildโand 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.
