from SBS Japanese - SBSの日本語放送

Gold Coast resident Shoji Umemura began selling Miyazaki Prefecture’s specialty, nikumaki onigiri, from his handmade trailer before food truck culture had taken hold in Australia. Leaving behind a stable salaried job at 34, Shoji took a leap of faith, sharing his passion for a dish that no one had seen, heard of, or tasted. - ゴールドコースト在住の梅村昇志さんは、オーストラリアでフードトラック文化がまだ広がる前に、宮崎名物の「肉巻きおにぎり」の移動式販売を始めました。当時はフードトラック自体がほとんど知られておらず、「肉巻きおにぎり」という料理を見たことも、聞いたことも、食べたこともある人はいませんでした。安定したサラリーマンの仕事を辞め、34歳で挑んだ大きな決断。その道のりには、数々のドラマがありました。
