[Why is it held at a BAR?] Relationship with Master Okuda]
I met Mr. Okuda, the master of bush clover, at Kamakura's tail belt and kanompan .
(I met Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura of Tailbelt & Kanompan when we were living on Hachijojima. They came to the island to run a pancake shop only open in the summer.)
Mr. Okuda, who was originally a customer of Tail Belt & Kanompan,
He learned about Amang and came to our Amang store in Nakameguro at the time.
At that time, Mr. Okuda was a salaryman working for a major, first-class company.
I think it was around the time when I was thinking , ``Someday I'd like to open my own shop.'' I think.
Amang started with the spirit of ``just try it'', and everyone has always cared and supported us.
(I believe that thanks to such kind-hearted people, I have been able to continue this long! Thank you very much!)
That must have been 2018...
During a department store tour,
There was a time when Shinjuku Isetan and Yokohama Takashimaya had consecutive schedules.
I tried to adjust it so that it wouldn't last as long as possible, but there was nothing I could do about it!
Normally, after an event is over at one location, we pack the boxes and have the cardboard boxes delivered the next day.
I brought the rest home in my suitcase.
The next day, I received the package.
We changed the tags, adjusted the products, and repacked them for the next store opening.
(In order to go through the cash register at each department store, you have to attach a unique price tag, which is a bit of a hassle...but there are some places that don't need it.)
And shipped again.
The process is to be carried in at the next store.
If we have a lot in stock, we can prepare two locations.
Problems with small-scale production.
(Thanks to you, we are now able to open two stores at the same time. However, we share inventory with the online shop, so it is really difficult to manage products!)
Hmm. After the department store was open, it was already 9:00 pm when I cleaned up...
Just put it in the car,
The next morning, I brought my luggage to Yokohama Takashimaya around 8:00.
My eyes turn white just thinking about it...
(We have licenses, but we don't have confidence in driving in the city.)
Around that time, Mr. Okuda retired to prepare for the opening of the bar.
I don't remember why, but Mr. Okuda and I were sitting together on the Yokosuka Line. lol
After retiring, Mr. Okuda had time to open the store.
Okuda-san : “Right now is the time to study a lot of things, so if there’s anything I can do, please let me know.”
Kaneko : “Oh, by any chance, could you help me move it out?”
Mr. Okuda : ``Okay, I'll take the car out.'' (Always refreshing)
Kaneko : “Oh, but it’s late at night and I’d like you to leave your luggage in the car, and it’s early the next morning…”
Okuda-san : “It’s okay.”
Kaneko : “Yay! Ho, ho, really? I’ll contact Hiroko (Nakamura)!!”
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
That's why we welcomed the savior, Mr. Okuda, as a member.
It's finally the last day at Shinjuku Isetan.
Nostalgic
Mr. Okuda was asked to wait in his car near the loading exit.
We removed the luggage at the site anyway.
A brand that will be holding an event at the same location from the next day is waiting, so
We have to make room at breakneck speed. This atmosphere is amazing.
I want everyone to see what goes on behind the scenes at a department store after hours. lol
Anyway, my bags are packed...
There were three large cardboard boxes and two large suitcases...
Even if you put it on a trolley, it won't take two people to go all the way to the exit!
But it's a bit far to the exit, so it's impossible to go back and forth!
My legs were so full because I was selling it at the store every day!
I don't want to waste a single step! Uu
Okuda-san, have you arrived?
When I was talking about whether I knew where it was,
Jajaan! (Old? lol)
Mr. Okuda, who was supposed to be outside,
It appeared like it came out of a magic lamp!
(That's what it looked like to me)
Thanks to Mr. Okuda, who appeared as if by magic,
We were able to move all at once.
He carried the cardboard with ease. amazing!
At the Isetan parking lot ↓
And we were crammed into the car and didn't want to walk another step.
Drop me close to home,
The next morning, they helped us transport the items to Yokohama Takashimaya.
The next morning at Yokohama Takashimaya.
It's autumn, but I'm sweating when I move in.
Mr. Okuda reflected in the mirror with sleeveless Hiroko↓
And Mr. Okuda, who has experience at Yokohama Takashimaya, helped with the Kanompan event!
They knew more about parking lot lines and rest rooms than we did. lol
(Amang has opened many times, but I didn't know about the rest room. Apparently there are several.)
We arrived in time for the opening and took a short break.
I’m exhausted since the morning↓
Finally, the last day at Yokohama Takashimaya. Full body. good job! ↓
I couldn't have gotten through this without Mr. Okuda's help.
Nowadays, I have a sales team that I can rely on.
We wouldn't do such a reckless move, but at that time it was the best we could do!
Amang has a history. Haha~
Finally, Mr. Okuda's shop has opened in Kamakura!
Although it is a little far from Kamakura Station,
It is loved by the local people and will be celebrating its second anniversary in February of this year! wonderful!
There is also an amang exhibition corner in one corner of the store!
The Amang goods purchased by Mr. Okuda are on display...
``I wanted people to see this product and realize that it's actually a product like this.''
Thank you so much, Okuda-san...
I can not imitate···
Amang also wants to be of some help someday! I kept thinking,
Pop-up is finally here!
I would be happy if this would be an opportunity for Amang customers to learn about a bar that they can easily drop by in Kamakura.
It would be great if there was a bar where you could just go by yourself♪
It's fun for adults to increase the number of places like this.
That's what I think.
oh yeah! The store name , Bush Clover , means "Hagi".
Mr. Okuda is from Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Please listen to that story as well♪ (Kaneko)
