The term "Oji-san" (or is it "Ojisan"? Baka Gaijin Artist fails at titles and honorifics, heh!) roughly means 'uncle' or 'older man'. The owner often insists on being called such because he considers himself to be everybody's common uncle and will give advice to couples, whether they seek it or not. His actual name is Sonoda Takeru. His shop, Sonoda Ice is a family business.
