Salon de Shimaji, Katsuhiko Shimaji's Quote of the Week
2015.06.25 update

Salons are open not only on holidays.

On days when Ms. Shimaji is there, it can get so crowded that it's double or even triple full, but on days when she's not there, Salon de Shimaji is like a completely different world, relaxed and peaceful.
And when Mr. Shimaji is absent, the Salon de Shimaji staff will be there to welcome customers as bartenders.

Customers who visit on weekdays seem a little surprised by the calm atmosphere when Shimaji isn't there, finding themselves in a space with just the customer and myself, along with two other staff members.

"It's usually lively on weekends, but it's quiet on days when Mr. Shimaji isn't here."
I handed the customer a glass.

After we had a brief conversation, the customer said something that made me very happy...
"Usually, I have lively conversations with Shimaji-san, but it's also fun to have a relaxed chat with you staff members like today."

I am so touched by your kind words!

Even on days when Ms. Shimaji is absent, the Salon de Shimaji staff look forward to welcoming you.
Please feel free to stop by.
