Koji Eguchi, 57, has moved many people online by quitting the company he worked for 35 years, after his daughter Honoka passed away from ovarian cancer in August 2022, at the age of 24.
After Honoka was diagnosed with cancer and was told she only had three months to live, Eguchi and his wife Michiyo promised her they would open a family café together to lift her spirits.
They lived up to their promise 28 months after she died.
Eguchi studied Japanese sweets at a culinary school in their hometown in southwestern Japan’s Saga prefecture.
