Each month, a short story focusing on a different main character is published, describing memories related to shortcake. In addition, a special shortcake inspired by the story will be on sale for a limited time starting on the 22nd of each month.
This month's story was selected from a project open to the public. The main character is a teacher, Nako Abe. Ms. Abe is a teacher in Tokyo. On her cell phone's standby screen, there is a picture of a shortcake she remembers, a picture she has not changed for a long time. It was a large shortcake from Fujiya, which his family had prepared as a surprise for him when he returned home after his graduation from college. It was my mother who wrote "Ganbare (do your best) Naho-sensei" on the chocolate plate. Abe-san says that since that day, the standby has been his good-luck charm. What was the important message that was put in the cake? We hope you enjoy Abe's heartwarming story.
