Celebrating 20 Years of 'Mozu Kim' with a Special Release and Star-Endorsed Set

A Special Celebration of 'Mozu Kim'

The YouTube program 'Kimura-san!' has recently featured a heartwarming story that goes back 20 years, highlighting the product 'Mozu Kim' — a delightful kelp kimchi produced by Mozu Kim Co., Ltd. based in Naha, Okinawa. This product, crafted with love by CEO Nobuaki Kuwana, is deeply connected to a momentous encounter with the popular star Kimura Takuya.

1. A Name Inspired by a National Icon

Years ago, when Mozu Kim had just started as a humble street vendor, Kuwana took pride in a product he held close to his heart — the kelp kimchi known as 'Mozu Kim.' The name is a tribute to none other than Kimura Takuya, a national superstar who captured the admiration of fans across Japan. This heartfelt homage was not merely for publicity; it was a dream birthed from a young entrepreneur's awe, dedicated to the hope that one day, the star might appreciate the product named after him. After two decades of perseverance, this dream came to fruition!

2. Behind the Scenes: A Touching Moment

The segment featuring 'Mozu Kim' on 'Kimura-san!' was filled with anticipation. After the cameras stopped rolling, Kuwana seized the opportunity to share his heart's desires with Kimura, saying, "I named 'Mozu Kim' after you, Takuya-kun — it's been my inspiration for the past 20 years." The star responded with warmth and humor, reminding Kuwana to reach out earlier. This light-hearted exchange, filled with laughter and camaraderie, culminated in a powerful handshake that signified mutual respect and validation between the legend and the entrepreneur.

3. A Star's Personal Purchase

The highlight of this encounter came when Kimura, after tasting the aging and fermented 'Mozu Kim,' was rendered speechless for a brief five seconds. His immediate delight was evident as he declared, "This is perfect for rice!" and "It goes wonderfully with somen!" To the astonishment of everyone present, he decided to personally purchase not only 'Mozu Kim' but also the acclaimed 'Miyako Island Kaimamzoku'. This act solidified the product's reputation as one that even professionals recognize for its quality.

4. A Commemorative Set Available to All
