If you’ve any length of experience in Kumamoto, you’ve seen Aramoto-san (新本さん). As a baker, he bakes a lot, but unlike others of his profession, he then gets on his bicycle to hawk his muffins all around town. He’s 62 now and has been doing this for 30 years. If you see him pass by, a wave and a smile will be promptly returned. Better, stop him and buy a muffin.
He was recently portrayed on NHK. It’s a tear-jerker of a video, so please watch. - William
