Nozomi, originally from Hiroshima, owns a nail salon located just a 4-minute walk from Daikanyama Station. As a strong-willed individual with blood type A, she moved to Tokyo exactly 10 years ago and has been working hard to establish a salon that is beloved by customers in Daikanyama. Since its opening this spring, the salon has been fully booked for appointments up to a month in advance, a testament to the success of Nozomi’s goal.

Being fully focused on her work, romantic pursuits have taken a back seat in Nozomi’s life. The challenges of timing have made it difficult for her to respond promptly to the interest of a man who has taken a liking to her, preventing things from progressing in a positive direction. When Nozomi feels the need to refresh herself during such challenging times, her go-to tea is a blend of lemon, mango, and white peach. Whether hot or iced, straight is the preferred way to enjoy it.
