Hiroshima, Japan. Food stalls start opening from 4:30 PM at the park along Kuramoto Street.

Since 1968, Food Stall Kasa, 2nd generation owner, Mr. Sakamoto.

Moving the food stall from a place that's a bit far from the park. The food stall is heavy; all the necessities are stored inside.

Staff: How heavy is it? It's as heavy as a small car. About 300 kg.

It should be around that number. Everything is stored inside. He arrived at his spot, cleaning up the leaves to make space for the stall.

17:15 Preparing the stall. This street is special; electricity and water are provided to the stalls.

"Kasa" is one of the old established food stalls in Kure. Hangers for the customers.

Setting up the tap. Putting together some shelves. Hanging up the menu. They even have a TV in the stall.

17:50 There's a stove in the middle. All the necessities are stored in this small stall.

I worked with my mother for about 7 or 8 years. Then I started doing it on my own.

Staff: What is the origin of the name Kasa? About 50 years ago, my mother

bought this food stall and their business. It used to be okay to buy and sell business rights for food stalls.

You can't do that anymore. At that time, the stall was already called Kasa. The previous owner was from Kasaoka-shi.

So they were using the name, Kasa. So we took it over, including the name.

The name is still on the entrance curtains. This food stall itself is in its 3rd generation.

Already? In the old days, we used small handcarts. It was a two-wheeled wagon that you could put things on.

The food stalls were based on those handcarts. You couldn't use them for a long time.

We had to move them every day, so many parts would break. They used to last for around 15 years, tops.

Now, we can order better ones. We order the frame and ask the carpenter to add the wooden parts to it.

It should last for decades. Staff: You run this place on your own, right? Now?

Yes. Sometimes, my wife will come to help. When they have events, she comes to help after 10 pm.

She has a part-time job. Connecting the gas tubes, lighting the fire with matches. Oden, ramen, okonomiyaki. Kure's food stall street, Red Lantern Street.
