Village】Yuyu A rural roadside shop combining a fresh
food market and eatery . 4:55 AM Prep had already begun . Preparing mackerel. Slowly grilling it. Staff) Can I see that ? This is the basic broth we use for our

Breakfast. Staff) Is that a plum? This plum? I pickled it myself. When I went to the market to buy supplies,
they had plums, but they wouldn’t sell them to me. Even if I asked them to pickle them , they
wouldn’t do it. So I had no choice but to pickle them
myself . They’re incredibly spicy . Today I had to do bee removal, then immediately got a request for grass
cutting, so I did that . Then I went to buy supplies . Originally, this side was the cafeteria, and this side
was the fresh produce store . After the store closed, I started a soba shop in Hattoji. Well, since this shop was vacant , I
thought about starting a soba place here. But there’s no fresh produce shop here or in
the neighboring Mitsuishi area, so people wanted one . So, even though I was a novice, I
started the shop . Six years ago, I guess. I was originally a civil servant. I quit my government job, ran the soba
shop in Hattoji, started a handyman service , and then took over this shop. I didn’t know anything about sourcing
supplies But I bought the shop anyway , got it set up, started waking up at 3 AM every day to go sourcing ingredients . It’s crazy work . Staff: Where does that drive come from?
Well, I bought it, so I had to run it . I couldn’t just let it fail. I’m heading
out now to do some bee removal . It’s insanely hot, so I’ll be wearing this attached to my
body . Staff: Do you enjoy the work? Well, it is fun, but I work 360 days a year. No days off. Physically , it’s tough. When I quit the city office, I thought I’d
do handyman work . But I figured you couldn’t make a living
just doing handyman jobs. Then, buying this shop meant I started advertising. I put the handyman work on the back of the
ads, and customers started requesting it . Now, honestly, the handyman side is
actually profitable. The shop is just breaking even or maybe a
little in the red . So I have to keep the handyman service
going . Staff: “Well, it’s hot outside, so be
careful.” The handyman shop owner headed out to
remove some bees. Making tamagoyaki. Tamagoyaki done. Finishing the yakiniku bento. Tamagoyaki. A bento packed with protein. Yakiniku bento complete! Pork ginger stir-fry bento complete !
