Downtime in Kanazawa

Episode 2: Downtime in Kanazawa

Mayumi was swamped with work since she was named as an executive officer this year.  She has been involved with several projects and worked with a variety of teams of HR, finance and investor relations.  It was fun to work there. She is a hard worker down to the bone.

On Friday night in winter, she realized that she needs a break. Mayumi determined to take off from it altogether and headed to Kanazawa. 

Kanazawa is a cozy old city in the Hokuriku area. Outside the snow falls. There’s a legendary sushi chef, Yasuke. She always sits in the usual counter seat and order a piece of sushi.  It is her blissful moment!

On the way back to Tokyo, she bought  the Eki-Ben, or station bento at the Kanazawa station.
