It's gotten quite warm now, hasn't it? When we think of spring, we think of cherry blossoms, and when we think of cherry blossoms, we think of cherry blossom viewing! Spending time with dear friends while enjoying delicious drinks under a cherry tree is the ultimate luxury.


Now, a customer who came into the salon the other day told me this story.

Customer: "I have friends in Aomori, and they're all huge fans of Professor Shimaji. But they're too intimidated to actually go and see him."


Shimaji : "Not at all! I'll give you a full tour of Salon de Shimaji. Here at Salon de Shimaji, you'll find lots of beautiful, rare, and interesting things. I really want many people to come and see it."

Customer: "I also met you at this bar and have learned so much from you."


Shimaji : "I'm glad to hear you say that. For me, the most important thing is 'encounters.' And the bar counter is also a study desk for life. Anyone who can open the doors of this bar is a true hero, and I welcome them with open arms!"


Most first-time customers say they didn't have the courage to enter this bar. But a wonderful encounter awaits you beyond this door. Please feel free to stop by!
