A word from our staff — “Yamashita’s Mountain” column
Thank you as always. This is Yamashita, your newsletter editor.
Today I’d like to share a surprising story. I joined the company last year on Pocky Day, and since taking over this newsletter I had never once received a purchase order in the following format. Some of you long-time readers may know it and perhaps no longer use it, but someone actually placed an order using the Ishikawa Shigyo Monthly Sales Ranking Sheet (which also functions as an order form), updated every month.
Wow—we’re being read! And they used the special perk! I’m thrilled!!
It felt like spotting a tsuchinoko (though I’ve never actually seen one). Since I hadn’t seen that order style once since joining, I secretly nicknamed it the “tsuchinoko order form.” Rankings change by season and trends, so it’s fun to track—though producing the sheet takes some effort. Knowing there are readers who use it really boosts my motivation. I’ll keep updating it bit by bit. I’ll attach it below—please check it out. Rock, paper, scissors—pon. Hehe.
