The Wallace family in Captain Cook hired him as a cook, where he saved his money for a picture bride, his future wife Osame. After taking a $100 loan from the Wallace's, they purchased their home where they sold udon, jam, coffee, and other foods. Once their second child was born, they added another room to the building, and soon taxi drivers and salesmen traveling between Hilo and Kona asked if they could stay the night.[4] They started charging between 50 cents and $1 for a bed or a futon on the floor. In 1929 they expanded to a second floor of rooms and started serving full meals and sake.
