Guido and Kaori
Industrial art welder and Creative chef, Guido, used to make Formula 1 race-car transporter trailers and iron beds for Osaka's love hotels, but spent time, sweat, care and effort to reinforce some of my little iron pony's more delicate parts, back before I left Japan on the eastern Asian leg of my journey. A salt-of-the-Earth kind of guy, he seems to have the knack of being able to produce exactly what's required, to the perfect specifications, out of 5 minutes of grinding, sparks, smoke, hissing and fire. His and his wife Kaori's kitchen in Agave Cafe, America Mura, Osaka, is only a little different. Put your mouse pedal to the metal and you could sample the exotic, off the wall, tastes of Agave Cafe, with it's artistic bent.
