Matsumoto the bartender is coming.

On Saturday, June 1st and Sunday, June 2nd, bartender Matsumoto from Bar Abiento in Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture, will be joining us as a guest bartender.


*Scenes from the previous visit

Shimaji : "My butler from Ichinoseki, Matsumoto Berman, will be coming to help out. My partner Hiroe is going back to her hometown for the holidays, so Matsumoto's presence will be a great help."

Whenever Matsumoto-san comes to our salon, it's a huge help to all the staff at Salon de Shimaji, and we're always grateful.


Shimaji : "The most precious thing of all is friendship. Be grateful for the encounters you have, and cherish luck, connections, and favoritism as you enjoy life to the fullest."
