It’s my first time winning the award in Japan. It’s exciting, you know, kudos to receive that recognition for a lot of hard work. It’s something I couldn’t have done without my teammates. But I’m the one accepting the award. (laughs)

It’s cool. You know, I played for the Fighters before. So it’s the complete opposite in terms of weather. I experienced the cold, and although I liked it, I’m from Miami, so the weather here agrees with me more, but it was cool to experience the polar opposite of Miami. But I’m happy to be here back in warm weather.
Rie Emoto, or more affectionately Emorie, is a local personality whose cute smile never fails to light up the living room through the TV.
She began modeling when she was in junior college and got into show business after passing an audition for a late-night TV show in Fukuoka. “I didn’t intend to stick with TV for that long. When I started, it was tough. But it allowed me to try many new things and meet many great people, and before I realized it, I was hooked,” says Emoto.
Overlooking Hakata Bay, Momochi is home to shopping centers, cultural attractions and residential areas, and it serves as a hub for people, information and culture. The preeminent landmark in the Seaside Momochi neighborhood is Fukuoka Tower, which doubles as a TV tower, and two of Fukuoka’s six TV stations, TNC and RKB, are located in Momochi.
There’s a good chance that many of our readers are aware, at least by name, or have even enjoyed a meal prepared by this month’s guest. Yes, this month, we spoke with the legend, the man often credited with bringing Neopolitan pizza to Japan: Salvatore Cuomo. He’s no longer involved in what became a chain of about one hundred restaurants and other businesses. He’s far less involved in that franchise restaurant business and in the early stages of setting up his next project, LAB3680. More on that later, but did you know he moved to Fukuoka in 2011 and has lived in both Momochi and nearby Atagohama?
