Salon de Shimaji, Katsuhiko Shimaji's Quote of the Week
2015.12.27 update

If you're unsure, buy both.

This time, we'll be introducing new colors of the grape-patterned pocket square, a staple and ever-popular item at Salon de Shimaji!


Fruits ripening in a gentleman's chest
Yukitakase Grape Chief: ¥14,040 (tax included) (Gold)

Gold and white have been added to the existing 6 color variations!

This grape-patterned scarf is a recommended item not only by Ms. Shimaji but also by our company president, Mr. Onishi. It uses "Tennyo no Hagoromo," an ultra-thin material from Ishikawa Prefecture, and a special process is used to create a textured surface resembling a bunch of grapes.

"The gold is a sophisticated gold that isn't too flashy, and the white is perfect for weddings and things like that."

When a customer is undecided about which one to buy...

Ms. Shimaji quietly placed a coaster with the quote for the day written on it in front of the customers. What was written on it was...

"If you're unsure, buy both."

You can probably guess what the customer did when they saw that.


This week's quote
"If you're unsure, buy both."

This week's featured drink is a new brand, Tormore 16 Year Old. It has the characteristic bright sweetness of Speyside whiskies, and because it is not chill-filtered, the flavor is concentrated.
