Representative's Comment
From Emi Furukawa, Representative of 1684 Inc.
"Mr. Takahashi, who started his business in Tohoku around the same time, and I have met on various occasions, and we have always talked about doing something together someday.
Although our approaches are different – fermentation and fragrance – our desire to 'harmonize people's daily lives with materials born from Tohoku's local nature' overlaps.
We would be delighted if many people could experience this first pop-up for 1684 AZUMAMINE in Sendai, and the first opportunity for our two brands to stand side by side."
