Shinjuku Men's Department, Men's Tailored Clothing Assistant Buyer
I joined Mitsukoshi Isetan Co., Ltd. in 2019. I gained experience handling a wide range of items at the Isetan Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1st and 5th floors, including men's clothing (heavy wear, shirts, ties), umbrellas, leather goods, and jewelry. I spent two years as the sales floor manager on the 5th floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building before assuming my current position. My daily routine includes making time for just the two of us every morning to help my 4-month-old son become a daddy's boy.

In the end, what remains in your possession is "elegant, timeless, and something you can wear for a long time."

My first ever leather jacket, the "Yuri" by EMMETI .

I chose this as my first leather jacket during my second year at the company. It's the classic "Yuri" model. The soft outer leather, the deep burgundy color, and the subtly gleaming gold zipper caught my eye, and when I tried it on, it instantly conformed to my body the moment I put it on, without the stiffness typical of leather. The design strikes a perfect balance between sexiness and elegance without being overly luxurious, and when paired with knitwear or wool slacks, it creates a very refined impression. I think it's a leather jacket that I can continue to wear naturally and in my own style as I get older. I liked it so much that I bought the black one too. (laughs)

ROTA 's wool pants made me realize that "good clothes ultimately come back to being simple."

I bought these ROTA during my third year at the company, drawn to their meticulous craftsmanship and beautiful silhouette. At first glance, they look basic, but the three-dimensional feel when worn is distinctive. The waist fits naturally, almost as if supporting the hips, and the line that falls beautifully towards the hem is very elegant. They look great with jackets, as well as blousons, leather jackets, and even just a fine-gauge knit. I also love the smoothness and subtle sheen of the fabric, and the quality of the stitching, pattern, and material made me reach for them without hesitation. This is an item that makes you realize that "good clothes ultimately come back to being simple."
