Takashi Suzuki has been making the fish product for the past 30 years in his Yaizu-based factory. There, he continues to uphold traditional methods of production in the belief that a bit of extra care and attention can make the most delicious katsuobushi. The Man Who Keeps Paris Dry Most people know Thierry Millet as "Monsieur Pep." That's because for the past 47 years, he has run a small business called Pep's—the only umbrella repair shop in France (and quite possibly all of Europe). Inside this tiny store, Millet has dedicated his life to keeping Parisians dry and shaded—to the tune of 10,000 umbrellas, sunshades and canes repaired each year.  Copyright © 2017 Great Big Story, LLC, All rights reserved.You are receiving this message because you subscribed to the Great Big Story newsletter.
