A Day with an 89-Year-Old Japanese Woman Who Still Runs Her Own Restaurant

This time, we had the privilege of spending a day with Asai san, who is 89 years old. Asai san runs her own curry restaurant. Since the microwave on the second floor is broken, she walks up and down the stairs between the first and second floors many times every day, staying busy while continuing to work with incredible energy. On the first floor is her cozy restaurant, where she serves a special curry made with methi (fenugreek), an herb commonly used in Indian cuisine. It was absolutely delicious and truly a one-of-a-kind dish that you can only experience at her restaurant. Spending the day with Asai san, we learned so much from her cheerful personality, positive attitude, and her willingness to help others whenever she can. Once a week, she enjoys attending a local choir group, as singing is one of her greatest passions. During our walk together, she also shared stories about the town she has lived in for many years, and her love for the community was easy to see. After spending the day with Asai-san, we were reminded of the importance of enjoying every day and living life without regrets. Thank you, Asai san, for allowing us to spend such a wonderful day with you. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into the warm and inspiring daily life of an amazing 89 year old woman. お仕事のご依頼や撮影に関するお問い合わせは、下記のメールアドレスまでお気軽にご連絡ください。 また、撮影にご協力いただける日本在住の年配の方も募集しております。 「密着撮影に興味がある」「日常を紹介してみたい」という方は、ぜひお気軽にご連絡ください。 ▼お問い合わせ seniorlifejapanese@gmail.com
