INDEX
A daily life of love not only for animals but also for plants
Celeina: Yesterday we talked about a plant called “Staghorn fern” and I heard that Mr.Yuasa is also into plants.
Yuasa: There is a plant called “agave,” which is used to make tequila, and there is an ornamental agave.
Takano: You brought it with you today, didn’t you?
Celeina: This is the agave that you usually adore at home.
Yuasa: That’s right. She says “Good morning” (haha).
Takano: It looks really cool. It looks a little spiky. Is this going to be a cactus?
Yuasa: This is a type of plant called a “agave”. It is becoming quite popular.
Takano: This flowerpot is cool too.
Yuasa: Actually, I made it myself.
Celeina: You made it yourself?
Yuasa: Yes, I did. I asked to make just the flowerpot at a pottery class.
Takano: For this agave?
Yuasa: That’s right. I went to a pottery class and made it just for this agave.
Takano: The design fits very well.
Celeina: It feels like a flowerpot made for this agave. Do the agaves come in various sizes?
Yuasa: They range from small to large. The shapes also vary.
Takano: How did you get hooked on agave?
Yuasa: It’s simply cool.
Takano: I see, because they look cool. How many do you have at home?
Yuasa: 100 or 200, I guess.
Celeina: That many! You also have a dog, don’t you?
Yuasa: I’m taking up a new post leaving one’s family behind. Also, I have permission from my wife, so it’s fine.
Celeina: So you are able to live separately there. My Momo-chan has repeatedly attacked a houseplant I named Santos. I wonder what to do with houseplants and dogs.
Takano: So houseplants have names too (haha). But sometimes they eat them by mistake.
Yuasa: Not so good. I’d really recommend a houseplant that can be hung on the wall.
Takano: So you and Mr.Tom are plant friends?
Yuasa: Yes, we are. We are plant friends and drinking buddies.
Celeina: Did Mr.Tom get you hooked on agave plants?
Yuasa: I bought one as an interior decoration and thought it was cool. From there, I looked into what kinds there were, and I got deeper and deeper into it.
Celeina：Mr.Yuasa is a dedicated researcher, isn’t he?
Takano: Like with dog food, you are also a very inquisitive person, aren’t you?
Yuasa: I go into it too much.
Takano: Your persistence leads to your dog’s health, too. That was a very valuable talk. Thank you very much.
Yuasa: Thank you very much.
Celeina: Now, “FIST BUMP,” a circle of friends connected by goo touch! So, we are asking you to introduce your friends to us. What kind of people will Mr.Yuasa introduce to us?
Yuasa: If I had to describe it in one word, he has a strong core and are very particular about what he does, but he doesn’t let it show on his faces.
Celeina: I see. Like a hidden hard worker. Can you tell us thier name?
Yuasa: This is Terukazu Murakami, owner of the creative Italian restaurant “1n58 (Inugoya Baru).
Takano: I’m curious. Tomorrow, I would like to dig deeper into the core of Mr.Murakami.
Celeina: “FIST BUMP”, today we welcome dog food coordinator Mitsuyuki Yuasa. Thank you very much.
