We start from here — May 20, 2026

Hi, I'm Kim.

I'm here because I am Fasan now — and I am still at Fasan. It is raining heavily right now.

I have too many thoughts in my head. After our first year of operation, starting into our second year, I want to clear my mind and start telling you what's actually in it.

So here we are.

I'm closing tomorrow — May 21 — for a day. Stepping back into my personal life. Thinking. Reacting to real life. I've been running Fasan nonstop for a year. Every single day, making coffee, figuring out what I'm doing and why. First year is done. Time for some change. Some revolution.

Tomorrow I'm looking up.

A quick note about my wife. She is a wonderful person — I've always said that. I'm grateful I met her and that we have a life together. What I want you to know before anything else: no wife, no me, no Fasan. That's the honest truth. The woman behind everything you don't see — she created Fasan, and she created me. She is the reason this place exists. I'll tell that story properly. Slowly. The right way.

Anyway. I'll be back Friday, May 22. Come find me. New menu.
