The best day ever!
I visited the Saten Matcha shop here in Tokyo and discussed a collaboration with /farcastea to open a tea shop in San Francisco.
Inside the shop, there was a painting by Enya Honami, an animation artist I had featured in my newsletter months ago. The owner was so happy I knew this artist and was very welcoming to my business offer.
If this isn't luck and serendipity, I don't know what is! The owner mentioned that Enya created the painting while enjoying matcha at the shop.
