Interact with locals

Today is Respect for the Aged Day, a national holiday in Japan.
Nearly 30% of Japan’s population is aged 65 or older, but many elderly people in Japan remain active and healthy. In fact, one in four people over the age of 65 still has a job. The Ikenoue neighborhood, where our shop is located, is home to many locals and features a shopping street frequented by residents. When you visit our shop, you might have the chance to interact with some of the energetic elderly people in the area.
