I had decided, "I will never forgive only the Yukijirushi Brand company (group)".

The next two incidents enraged me,

- Yukijirushi food poisoning case (June 2000)

- Yukijirushi seal beef counterfeit incident (October 2001)

These were cases of 'there is a limit to the disregard for human life'.

There are references to these incidents in my past diaries.

If the Yukijirushi brand products come on the market, I had the intention of 'making a fuss on my website to remind everyone vividly of the past incidents'.

Today, I finished watching NHK's "Law of Failure: Two Incidents at Yukijirushi Brand" which I had recorded.

In the program, there was a detailed explanation of the Yukijirushi Brand Group's 20-year effort to regain trust and revitalize the company (although of course, I am sure there was some "staging" involved).

After watching this program, I was finally able to think, 'I can lower my raised fist'.

In part because it was partially in line with my thinking.

Still -- I do believe that "failures involving human life" need to be separated from "other failures".

Aside from that.

Ebata: "You don't see Yukijirushi brand products in one store anymore, do you?"

Wife: "What? They are at home."

I was so surprised that I went through the contents of the refrigerator.

This is what I found.

She said 'other brands of butter are hard to find in stores'.

And my second daughter enjoys baking and seems to consume a lot of butter.

What can I say -- apparently, unbeknownst to me, the Ebata family was a supporter of the Yukijirushi Brand.
