This is the third installment of Katsuhiko Shimaji's quote of the day.
Have you gotten used to the atmosphere at Salon de Shimaji yet?
This time, we'll introduce the rings and alcohol that Ms. Shimaji cherishes.

An iconic item among Shimaji fans.
That's the EyeFunny skull ring.


(This ring is available for purchase at the Salon de Shimaji Select Shop corner.)

We had a big Shimaji fan visit us again today.
Shimaji-san says, "Welcome back."
*We will say "Have a good day" when you leave.

I place my ring on top of the customer's ring and say to them, "Let's recharge our energy today."
"Thank you so much. This will give me the strength to get through another week. And thanks to your energy, everything is going great!"
"So, to get things going, how about some Ichiro's Malt and Mars Komagatake that I bottled myself? These two are Japanese whiskies, and I personally selected them. Let's start with Ichiro's Malt Hanyu Mizunara Wood. This whisky is aged in barrels made from Mizunara oak, a type of wood unique to Japan, and is characterized by its sweetness and aroma."

"Next up is Mars Komagatake. This one was made at a small distillery that recently reopened, but the distillery owner was disappointed when he chose it from among several barrels and decided, 'This is it!' It seems he felt like a parent who had to give away their beloved daughter in marriage."


The customers who had come to the store burst into laughter after hearing Shimaji's funny anecdotes.


Today's proverb
Laugh heartily once a day to boost your immunity.

What kind of discussions will unfold at the next Salon de Shimaji?
See you again next week. Have a good day, everyone.
