A note from the writer Hi — I'm Ari.
I don't think we've been introduced. Most people just call me Ari, so please feel
free to do the same. I grew up in Tokyo and now live in Hiroshima, where I work in
restaurants and spend most of my free time walking the city and looking for the next
small bar I have not been to yet.
Explore Hiroshima is where I write down the city I see every day. I drink more coffee
than I probably should, I have a soft spot for natural wine, and on a day off you are
most likely to find me in a sauna in Hatchobori. If we cross paths somewhere in town,
please say hello — I would genuinely love to chat.
— Ari, in Hiroshima
