[Regarding the Niigata Nippo article dated December 4, 2018]

Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Yoshinogawa.
 
In today's Niigata Nippo, page 15, Nagaoka edition,
An article was published about the development of the historic building "Saffron Liquor Store" in the Settsuya district for tourism purposes.
Some of the wording may have been misleading.

Going forward, local companies, primarily Yoshinogawa, will prepare for the establishment of the facility under contract from Nagaoka City.
Although it is described as a "community development company," it is currently operating as one of the local businesses at the request of Nagaoka City.
I am currently assisting with the preparations for its establishment.
 
Nothing has been decided at this time, so we ask that all readers of this article please refrain from commenting further.
Please be sure to avoid any misunderstandings.
