wanted to welcome Kimura-san and Atsuko-san to hawaii. and want to thank them and the Yamari team for the wonderful gifts!
this is super cool! Yamari has a great marketing plan, a great designer, great minds, and great people. the coolest shirasu company in the world producing the best shirasu in the world. YUMMY!
i’m super stoked to get these cool slippers! i use about 10 pairs of slippers per year. i wear them everyday so they either get worn out, or somebody at the beach steals them. if i saw these sitting on the beach, i might steal them too. haha.
7 years ago i took this photo of Renosuke riding his little car in the Yamari factory. now he’s a very smart boy in elementary school. in 10 years, he’ll probably go to college, then be driving real trucks working in the factory. then in 30 years, he’ll be 8th generation boss of Yamari. the next generation of the Yamari Empire.
people ask me if i miss surfing Pipeline. i tell them “no” and this is why.
