  • Hi Everyone, 

    Thank you for your feedback on this newsletter) I will continue to write more about Japan as well as makeups)

    I found a new subway station today – for Ginza Line. 

    Ginza Line station in Shibuya was very hard to find but this solved the situation well.

    By Ginza Line, Shibuya is only two stations away from the new National Stadium where the Olympic games will open in July.  Or you can enjoy walking from Shibuya to Omotesando/Harajuku and to the stadium. 

    Today, I want to talk about Ramen shop ‘Ichiran. ‘

    Ichiran  shop owner walked around Japan  to taste many types of food and decided to open pork-based ramen. Ichiran ramen is only pork soup based. 

    And the taste was improved continuously. That is important,

    but

    there are many other aspects of marketing to attract people and improve efficiency.

    I will write the secret of the Ichiran success here.

    The shop is ‘divided by partition.’  Many Japanese women don’t want to go to a ramen shop alone. Ichiran provides private space by a partition.

    About 40% of clients are women, which is much higher than other ramen shops.

    The partition also works to improve the turnover rate of seats as they don’t talk at seats.

    Besides,  they have no choice but to share a picture at Instagram、LOL.

    There is also paper at the seat to write an order on so no mistake is caused by communication with an employee.

    Ramen shop is manually operated so that it causes mistakes between a shop and client. 

    Elon Musk of Tesla Motors ordered ramen at ramen Jiro, which must have been difficult)

    When people enter a shop, the machine automatically says ‘Irasshaimase !’ so that shop employees can easily say this welcome word. 

    Moreover, shop employees don’t have to communicate with a client due to the partition. It is said to be hard to hire an employee for a restaurant but it is easier to hire an employee at Ichiran. Employees feel more comfortable.

    Please take a look:

     

    Maybe you can try ramen at Ichiran when you travel to Japan ?

    Thank you for reading!

  • Today I want to talk about Mikimoto Pearl cosmetics

    Mikimoto Cosmetics

    Hi Everyone, 

    I may have been talking more about ‘Japan’ or ‘Japan culture’ than cosmetics or brushes these days. 

    The number of newsletter registration stays about the same. 

    I have one or 2 ‘unsubscribe’s each day and I get the same number of ‘subscribes.’   So I lose my newsletter clients daily.

    Your feedback is appreciated and your question is also welcomed so that I can talk about them in my blog (newsletter) whether it is about Japan or makeup.

    So

    Today I want to talk about a cosmetic brand,  called Mikimoto. 

    (I will do write about ‘Japan’ later.)

    Have you ever heard of Mikimoto?

    It is a company that makes pearl accessories.

    Mikimoto succeeded in culturing pearl in 1893 the first time in the world. 

    It has developed its business of accessories and added cosmetics later.  So many people outside Japan don’t know their cosmetic brand yet. 

    They have a shop in Ginza Mitsukoshi so you may have visited it. But they don’t have many shops.

    Their products have a pearl ingredient that moisturizes skin and works for anti-aging. The pearl works under the skin to produce more collagen, I was told. 

    They have makeup products as well. 

    Here is a link.

    https://www.mikimoto-cosme.com/en/skincare/series/

    And I get the following from the web page.

    Pearl Collagen® is a fascinating ingredient that creates a moisture veil with exceptional moisturizing capacity and sustaining power.

    And from the nacreous layer, we extracted Pure Pearl Minerals® This ingredient, which focuses on creating a protective barrier, regulates your skin’s regenerative cycle and supports healthy skin.

    Thank you for reading!

    Sorry that this is rather short ! I am writing about Ramen Ichiran now for my next blog

  • Learning Japanese is good for your skin?

    Hi Everyone,

    I talked about ‘Morning’ service the other day. 

    It is a free food service when ordering a drink in the morning. You can pay only for a drink and food comes free.

    I was told it was invented in the city of Ichinomiya near Nagoya. Their free food is too good there (please see the picture below)

    The reason I found it was a bit funny.

    I go to a makeup shop on a regular basis to buy products for my clients. And I can remember much better where she or he is from, rather than her or his name.

    Because I can relate a person to a special product to the place  or  food or sports team.

    The other day, I asked an employee of Albion where she was from as usual) She said, ‘I am from Ichinomiya’ ‘ Ichinomiya is a city where ‘Morning’ service was invented. ‘

    Now I will never forget her.

    Besides, I got something to write for a blog.

    My world expands that way, LOL.

    If she is not a Japanese, more interesting. 

    Department stores  have many Chinese employees nowadays. I asked them where they are from, too,  so that I can get to know more about China geography.

    There was also one employee who is from Ukraine at Panasonic Beauty.   Luckily she is from Kyiv.  

    I like remembering the capitals of countries all over the world.

    I confirmed that my method works. Pola cosmetic taught me the concept of ‘being interested in something’ or ‘being curious.’ is good for skin.

    Their product stimulates a part of the brain that is in charge of ‘being curious.’ The more we get curious, the younger our skin gets. Pola told me.

    I was thinking about it too.

    Something new or new place or new language, etc.

    Maybe you can learn Japanese. 

    That gives you a new stimulus and a benefit to your skin. 

    Thank you for reading!
