#23 [First Guest] The Soul Food "Italian" War of Niigata and the 4th Place to Belong

Welcoming our first guest, this episode kicks off with topics unique to our generation.

Mr. Sato from Redrive Co., Ltd. appears as the show's first guest. Right after starting our conversation, it is revealed that Toshi, Masaru, and Mr. Sato were all born in 1976, and we look back fondly on the duration since our meeting and our past relationship.

A lively discussion on our shared roots in our hometown, Nagaoka.

Although they originally met through work, as the conversation progresses, it turns out that both Toshi and Sato have roots in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The conversation really takes off, touching upon memories of our alma mater, Nagaoka Ote High School, and student days unique to a heavy snowfall region.

During the local talk, Mr. Sato shares a certain episode.

As stories from our high school days and the time we moved to Tokyo come up one after another, Mr. Sato shares a specific memory, which resonates deeply with the other two, vividly bringing back the atmosphere of those days. The deeper conversation continues, but please listen to the main episode for the rest.
