It refers to someone who visits a tea house or restaurant without prior introduction. I completely understand why such a system exists, and as someone born and raised in Kyoto, I hope this tradition continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I often think about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIchigen-san\u201d is a word used from the shop\u2019s perspective. It means \u201cnot a regular customer, someone unfamiliar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customers themselves do not call a shop \u201cIchigen-san.\u201d Yet from the customer\u2019s side, entering an unfamiliar place can feel intimidating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even a restaurant praised as delicious may not suit your taste. A clinic or beauty salon may not match your style. Online reviews you trusted may turn out to be fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when it comes to building, repairing, or renovating a house, the stakes are far higher. This is not like eating one bowl of ramen and saying, \u201cThat was a mistake.\u201d The cost is significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On television, we often see reports of dishonest contractors. It is natural to wonder. Do I really need this? Am I being overcharged?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I understand those doubts very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is why this website exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We at Inoue Komuten do not want to be \u201cIchigen-san\u201d to you. We write everything here in our own words so that you can see who we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The author, known as the Okami, takes care of every task that allows our craftsmen to work smoothly. Through daily work, she shares what she sees, feels, and thinks as a member of Inoue Komuten. These are genuine voices from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This message is written especially for those who worry. \u201cWill I be deceived if I contact a construction company for the first time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the time you finish reading this website, Inoue Komuten will no longer feel like \u201cIchigen-san\u201d to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So please, even if it is your first time, feel free to contact us. We will meet your \u201cfirst step\u201d with sincerity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
