About This Issue:

Do you have a store you can trust? A store where you can have lively conversations with the store owner and the customers who come there. A store where you drop in after work or on a day off. A store where you often leave without buying anything, but where you have had a unique encounter. In an age where you can get anything online, the best part of shopping may be seeing and touching the storefront, hearing about the maker and the background of the production area, and the moment when you "want something" is born on the spot through your five senses. Offline communication and experiences have value and realizations that go beyond the price, and may even give you hints for life and work. The way to find a reliable store is to meet a reliable store owner. Now, let's enjoy the pleasure of a real shop that embodies the mind of a discerning store owner.
