a day full of festivities and celebration.

CRFT by Maki moved in next door to Mr.Join the celebration on Saturday.

Ramen was founded in 1993 by the brothers parents.COVID has taken a lot from the community but so has gentrification.and now these two neighbors are some of the last small businesses left in the community.

Yudai had to step up to become the next face of Mr.neighboring businesses were always sharing with each other.

Im still navigating my place in Little Tokyo as the community faces so much adversity.

Ramens story has stayed with me.it seems that many people go to the shrine from midnight to the beginning of the year on New Year’s Eve.

both among people from different corners of the planet in a loud chorus counting down.and my parents-in-law go to the onsen.

please enjoy! If you are going to spend it in a more quiet.I thought I’d turn back after seeing a huge crowd of people going to the hall of worship.
