Matsumoto Kazuaki, the handsome member of "Abiento" and known as the Koji Yakusho of Ichinoseki, who has appeared here on Isetan Men's Net twice before, will be visiting the salon again.


Shimaji : "Matsumoto will be coming on the first and third weekends of June. My partner Hiroe will be off on those days, so Matsumoto, who is my butler and a highly skilled bartender, will be helping out my boss. He has helped out at Salon de Shimaji many times before, so he knows the ropes and I feel at ease."

Mr. Matsumoto, a bartender officially certified by Mr. Shimaji, will be at the salon on four days: June 2nd (Sat), 3rd (Sun), 16th (Sat), and 17th (Sun).


Shimaji : "It's truly wonderful to have a barber who can rush to the master's aid in times of need. Even in hell, connections matter. Connections are important."

Please come and see Matsumoto Barman's brilliant cocktail-shaking skills. Salon de Shimaji might be the only place outside of Ichinoseki where you can see it.
