It's a closed day. I'm out shopping and preparing for tomorrow. I sweat and then get cold, and the temperature difference during the day is quite unbearable.
Well, the other day I received a pair of rabbit slippers from "Smoked Bar Nikaiya" in Shinsaibashi. They've been a customer of ours since we first opened. They opened a new store last month, so I decided to visit them a little late.
The shop is located on the second floor of a multi-tenant building one block east of GU in Shinsaibashi. We often go shopping in Shinsaibashi, but we rarely go to places with lots of bars, so it was a very new experience for us Usaboku and his wife.
I heard that they visited Confidence Cafe , with whom we have a friendly relationship . And I heard that Confidence Cafe also visited Nikaiya. That's really wonderful, isn't it?
Perhaps because we often introduce other shops on our blog and in-store, we often find ourselves making more connections around us. Even if it's a shop that we don't get to visit very often, customers may have become closer to the shop than we are, and before we know it, we may feel lonely, as if we're left out in the cold.
But that's also a good thing.
This may be the same for every store, but I think one of the store's roles is to "weave connections"... I often feel this way when I see all kinds of people connecting with each other around me.
Many of the introductions are light-hearted, based on the idea that this person might like this, but I think it would be good if the store could be run with an awareness of human connections as well.
