Hi, My name is Hiro Hada, a co-author of this blog with You Inoue. I am thrilled to be part of this—to introduce our culture throughout the world.

Before diving into the post, let me talk about who I am; I was born and raised in Japan. I did my master of engineering, specialized in bioengineering, in Japan. After college, I joined one of the biggest Japanese breweries to brew the beer (yes, I can brew the beer). Then, I decided to switch my career into business, applying for US B-school. Luckily enough, I graduated one of the finest public colleges in US, earned my MBA. Now I’m back in Tokyo and writing this.

I have this unique career path and explored many countries (travelled over more than 15 countries so far) which probably enables me to shed the light on unexplained part of Japan (some Japanese culture is quite self-explanatory though). I am going to write down my experiences and thoughts on Japan and strongly wish this blog is helpful in understanding Japanese culture.
