The story of the rabbit and me |

Thank you for this year. My thanks for the past year and the kanji of the year.

As usual, I went back to Matsumoto, Shinshu, where my wife's parents live. After shopping, I stopped off at a cafe near her parents' house to take a break. There are only a few hours left this year. Thank you for all your help. Looking back on the past year, I've started an online shop at the beginning of the year and...

Thoughts on the couple's wedding anniversary and new things to come

Both my husband and I were sick last week, so we're slowly trying to get back on track by eating foods that are easy on the stomach. It's a simple thing, but being able to eat delicious food and praise it is a blessing. Meanwhile, UsaBoku and his wife are celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary...

If there is something you want to work on, it might be a good idea to tell someone about it...

This weekend, the morning was a relatively relaxed pace, but in the afternoon, it became hectic as customers were waiting outside the store. Perhaps it was due to the Minori Market held at Abeno Oji Shrine... When customers came into the store, they were asked, "It's going to take a surprisingly long time to serve you, is that okay?"...

To make a new habit, don't force yourself to do it so that you don't feel uncomfortable.

I'm sure you can't imagine the owner wearing sportswear... Yesterday was a regular holiday. My wife hasn't been feeling well for a while, and the owner hasn't been feeling well since last week. He's not in the mood. He started a diet last month and went for a walk in the morning to refresh himself...

I think it's important to enjoy both work and dieting without pushing yourself too hard...

The owner of the shop has started a diet. I thought that drinking a lot of water would be the best way to lose weight, but I had to go to the bathroom so often that I couldn't work. Well, the other day I wrote about how I've gained about 10kg in the five years since I started the shop.

The current situation will not change unless you are aware of it yourself, not just because others tell you to.

Before I knew it, I had become chubby. When I showed my wife the latte art in the opening photo, she made a harsh comment: "It's not like that lol." Some customers thought, "Oh, Mr. Owner..." but were reluctant to say anything because it was a delicate issue...

The story of the UsaBoku couple

Usagi and I is run by an elderly couple, and the owner is just a temporary helper... People live their lives based on assumptions, don't they?

People live within their own preconceptions. I ate this ramen at Shokudo Shizumoto when I went back home for Obon. The photo shows what my wife ate. The owner ate the Tentama ramen. It's been 50 years since my grandmother-in-law started the restaurant. After that, my mother-in-law started helping out, and now my father-in-law and I, who is retired, run the restaurant together...

It's disappointing when cafes use IKEA tableware... If you use IKEA products, make sure to hide their coolness

While visiting my hometown in Matsumoto, Shinshu, I took a little trip to Ikaho Onsen. While many parking lots were full, the main stone steps were relatively empty. The morning temperature was in the teens. I was able to take some photos with the owner's favorite dreary vibe, and the relaxing atmosphere was...

Once again, I realize how grateful I am to be working as a couple...

When either of us is not feeling well, we don't run the cafe, but only sell coffee beans so that we can take a break, not just physically but mentally. However, the other day on Monday, I only had to leave for a short errand, so I thought it would be okay... and so I tried to run the cafe by myself for the morning...

The UsaBoku couple's wedding anniversary, their story of how they met and their thoughts on their current jobs...

On June 6th, Usa-Boku and his wife celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary. I have some business to attend to after work today, so I hope to celebrate with my wife the next day. If the next day is a regular holiday, we can take it easy... We tend to get caught up in our daily lives and forget to be grateful, so...
