**This Moment Comes Only Once.

So Let’s Make It Beautiful.**

Japanese fireworks bloom across the night sky in breathtaking beauty—and then disappear in just a moment.

The time we spend with someone is much the same. This very moment. The table we gather around. Even the chance that brought us together here today. None of it will ever come again in quite the same way.

Today’s table. Today’s conversation. The people beside you today. Even this very moment, as you read these words.

That’s why I want to treasure this moment. Don’t you?

**This meeting.

This moment. Once in a lifetime.**

In Japan, we call this spirit Ichigo-ichie. It is a way of thinking that grew from the Japanese tea ceremony.

Seasonal wagashi. A bowl of matcha. Flowers blooming where we are.

Everything is prepared for that day, for that person, for that one unforgettable meeting.

That’s why I love making wagashi. Each one is made for that single moment. For the person I happen to meet then—you.

I hope my cooking and wagashi become a small Ichigo-ichie between us.

You’re always welcome at An’s Table 💛😊😊❤️
