Hi! I'm Tuma — I'm divorced, in my 30s, and building a new life instead of going back to being a salaryman. 🇯🇵
Finishing work early and opening my izakaya at home tonight. 🎉
Endless cucumber, avocado yukhoe, kamaboko with wasabi cream cheese, and a seasonal autumn beer.
Also: I bought the cheap avocado and regretted it immediately. 🥑😭
While I eat, I'll talk about what my divorce taught me.
I hope you enjoy a quiet night at my home izakaya with me. 🌙

Life may not turn out the way you or anyone else thinks or expects but at the end of the day, you are the one living it and as long as you are happy I think that’s all that matters

In Japan, once you turn 30, you often feel pressure to get married — from yourself and from those around you.
Is it the same in your country? 🤔
