Second-Generation Owner of Maruyasu Shoten, Kazuhiko Fukazawa・有限会社丸安商店 二代目店主・深沢和彦
Beneath the railway tracks of Ameyoko, Fukazawa-san gestures toward shelves filled with dried delicacies; some of which have been sold here for generations.
A second-generation shopkeeper, he grew up helping in the family business, which began in Ueno’s post-war black market. Today, he carries on his father’s legacy; not just through quality goods, but through small moments of connection, greeting visitors from around the world in their own language whenever he can.
