Salon de Shimaji, Katsuhiko Shimaji's Quote of the Week
2019.02.20 update

Very popular overseas

The cold snap has subsided, and spring is gradually approaching.
Meanwhile, last week's Salon de Shimaji was a truly international weekend.


Shimaji: "There seem to be a lot of foreign customers. I wonder what's going on?"

Upon speaking with them, I learned that they were "whisky lovers" who had come to Japan for a whisky festival being held in Chichibu.


Shimaji: "I see! That's how you heard about Salon de Shimaji. Impressive! Whiskey love is truly universal."

It was a weekend where we had customers from various countries, including the United States, Hawaii, Germany, and China.


Shimaji : "When you all go back to your countries, please be sure to promote Salon de Shimaji. Tell them, 'There's a really interesting bar in Japan that's full of cultural flair!'"
