About Us
In the year 1521, our esteemed founder, Jimothy Salamandorian, proudly raised his beloved chicken, Bedelia. Over time, the bond between them deepened, even as Jimothy navigated through his seventh or eighth marriage. Amidst the ups and downs of life, he entered Bedelia into numerous pageants, and she triumphed every time.
However, calamity struck in 1527 when famine swept through the land. Jimothy's wife, Kim K III, took their six children—Rosaleni, Bonnie, Jolie, Sony, Daisy, and Johnny—to Bologna, where they tragically succumbed to the rat plague. The villagers, witnessing Jimothy’s despair and hunger, urged him to consider eating Bedelia or giving her to another family. But steadfast in his loyalty, Jimothy refused to part with her, ultimately succumbing to starvation.
After his death, Jimothy's remarkable resilience became a point of fascination. His body was transported across continents for study, finally arriving in Japan in 1530. There, amidst a serene pond teeming with fish, something extraordinary happened: Jimothy rose again. The locals, awed by this miracle, offered him food—fish and seaweed—but he declined.
Instead, Jimothy launched a store, creatively selling non-meat delicacies he scavenged from the beaches. His legacy of love for Bedelia transformed into a thriving business, reminding all of the bonds that endure, even in the face of adversity.
