I was introduced to Lillian by @violet.daike.pacileo and when this happens I always try to follow up and get to know them! Even though this episode is the first time to speak with Lillian, it really goes to show the power of podcasting for creating relationships and building a sense of community! I had always wondered about how the many artisanal food producers in Japan could find a market for their beautifully made products given that they often are not online. If you are missing Japan, or missing being able to travel around Japan then this is an episode not to miss.
