Thank You for the Birthday Wishes

Thank you so much for all the birthday messages, emails, comments, and more. I was born on Tanabata, and my name is "Nanako."

This year is Reiwa 7—a year with seven in a row.

I received some Calvados—one of my absolute favorites—and “Book of Tea,” a tea that offers a truly wonderful experience, among other things, and I’m currently enjoying them with the team here at the Takeshiba office (*^^*)

Today also marks the fourth anniversary of B Lab, which was founded on July 7 in the hope that everyone’s wishes would come true.

May this be a year in which we work together to create an exciting future just around the corner.

And may this be a year in which all your wishes come true.
