The Guide to a Better Life Magazine
Launched in 2013 by Japan’s renowned publishing house Magazine House, &Premium is one of Asia’s most iconic lifestyle magazines. Guided by its core philosophy, "The Guide to a Better Life," the publication steps away from fleeting trends to focus on timeless "Standard" essentials, interior spaces, artisanal craftsmanship, and deep culinary culture. Whether exploring the hidden alleys of Kyoto or curating durable, well-designed everyday tools, &Premium redefines the essence of high-quality living for a mature, style-conscious audience with unparalleled visual aesthetics.
- Legendary Publishing Heritage: Originating from the same esteemed publisher behind legendary titles like POPEYE and BRUTUS, &Premium leads the current era of Japanese lifestyle publications with top-tier editorial ambition.

- Global Cultural Influence: Highly influential across Asia, including Taiwan and Hong Kong. Its in-depth features on Kyoto and its coffee & sweets guides are revered as aesthetic textbooks by overseas designers and Japanese culture lovers.
- Art-Book Level Reputation: Praised highly by readers and bookstores as being "as exquisite as an art photography book." Consumers frequently note its soothing layouts, making it a masterpiece publication that they want to "buy, collect forever, and flip through repeatedly."
