Salon de Shimaji, Katsuhiko Shimaji's Quote of the Week
2015.12.31 update

Food tastes better when you eat it with someone else than when you eat it alone.


The other day, Ms. Shimaji and all 12 salon staff members held a year-end party at Ms. Shimaji's favorite Italian bar.
We had a lively and enjoyable time surrounded by Mr. Shimaji.

"Food definitely tastes better when you eat with someone or a group, rather than alone. You can have lively conversations, share different opinions, and make new discoveries. It makes you want to share new things too."

We will also strive to support Ms. Shimaji and disseminate new information.


This week's quote
"Food tastes better when you eat it with someone else than when you eat it alone."

This week's recommended drink is Old Pulteney 12 Year Old, one of the key malts in Ballantine's.
The bottle's unique shape, reminiscent of a pot still, gives it a distinctive aroma. A smoky scent is followed by a tangy, orange-like fragrance. The taste is also malt-based, with a mellow sweetness after the initial tartness.

Thanks to all of you, 2015 came to a successful close. We look forward to your continued support in 2016.
Ms. Shimaji is scheduled to visit our store wearing a kimono on Sunday, January 3rd at 1 PM. We look forward to your visit.

Wishing you all a happy new year!

All salon staff
