  • Description

    Hello! My name is Joe, and I am from Japan.

    My dream is to open a place in my hometown of Fukushima that combines a craft brewery with a care facility for older adults. I hope to create a place where people can connect through beer and support the local community.

    Before becoming a brewer, I worked as an occupational therapist in a hospital for three years, helping patients with their daily lives and rehabilitation. After that, I decided to follow my passion and became a craft brewer.

    For the past three years, I have been creating beers based on my own recipes, focusing on creativity, balance, and quality. I came to Germany because I have great respect for German beer culture. I would like to learn not only about brewing techniques, but also about the lifestyle, traditions, and values surrounding beer.

    My hobbies include hiking, foraging for wild plants and mushrooms, and reading. I enjoy spending time in nature and discovering new things.

    I am eager to learn, open-minded, and hardworking. I believe my positive attitude and willingness to help will allow me to connect well with people from different backgrounds.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you!

  • What else ...

    I believe I have more drive and curiosity than most. Although my language skills are limited and there are many areas where I fall short, I have enjoyed every job I’ve had so far and have always approached them with enthusiasm. Please feel free to ask me anything about brewing skills, culinary knowledge, or rehabilitation.
