My mission for this trip: reconnecting with my dear friend who’s busy raising her kids abroad.

We chose Kanazawa as our meeting spot.

To make our time together extra special, I got the inside scoop on some must-visit places from an old work friend.

I fell in love with the sight of the pottery shimmering in the sun by the window. The owner said, "Every piece is different, so choose the one that speaks to you."

I was so excited about the amazing finds I got!

This is a podcast about Omiyage (souvenirs) and Monogatari (stories). I share the hidden stories behind the items I encounter on my travels—the passion of the creators, the memories of the land, and the anecdotes from my journey.
