I’ve recently found an Italian restaurant I’m rather fond of. It’s only a five-minute bike ride away, which is a definite advantage,

and I find myself going there quite often. My Engel coefficient is about 30% higher because of it,

but I tell myself, “Well, it’s worth it to unwind the mental knots of daily life,”

and with that excuse, I’m quite content with a simple tasting of three wines.

Then, caught up in the moment, I tend to make grand pronouncements.

The fact that innovation in any field is driven by a single, talented individual

is a starting point that cannot be denied… Yes,

before dwelling on the gap between reality and ideals, just do it!

Life is decided by whether you can summon the resolve to face all kinds of risks without fear.

If you truly go for it and fall flat on your face, there should be no regrets.

I’m really letting loose today. (^^:

In other words, how do you want the world to see you?

This is, after all, humanity’s greatest weakness.

For merchants who can penetrate this without pretense,

a collection of people who have never considered such preparedness from the outset is, in essence, discovering a treasure trove!

The conquest of Japan, the land of gold, continues.

Huh? My shoulder’s out. But delicious food, fashion, any kind of intellectual pleasure…

How do you propose today’s delights with the understanding that they might not be here tomorrow? How do you propose them?

Simply put, it’s about how to show resolve with flair, embodying the idea that “If you try, you can do it.”

For example, a 1,500 yen lunch that’s this delicious!

In the evening, three glasses of fine wine and a course meal, all-inclusive, for 5,000 yen.

Even if it’s limited, isn’t that wonderful? I absolutely have to eat it. I want to go back again and again.

This is the only way.

For instance, my current favorite, STREAMER coffee company.

Streamer Latte: 520 yen. Regular Latte: 370 yen.

I always get mine to go, but they truly satisfy me.

Of course, the visually appealing latte art at STREAMER is captivating, but above all, it’s delicious.

I’ve always liked the aroma of coffee, but the taste wasn’t particularly special before.

So, the urge to drink it didn’t arise.

But the lattes here are delicious. And the value for money is impeccable.

Usually, even if something is delicious, you might think, “If only it were a bit cheaper…” But that’s not the case here.

Perhaps I’m savoring the resolve of the owner, Mr. Sawada, the latte art world champion. But it’s simply delicious.

Delicious and affordable. This seems simple, but it’s hard to achieve. Why? Because there’s a lack of resolve.

More precisely, there’s a lack of focused concentration. Being busy is no excuse.

Lack of funds is also no excuse.

Despite my grand pronouncements, I haven’t achieved much myself, but that’s no excuse either.

So, I’ll wrap up my grand pronouncements here.

REGALO is currently my star of hope.

I hope you’ll give it your patronage.

And of course, STREAMER coffee company too.
