Why did you choose Kabuto-cho as your new location?
Celeina：Your restaurant has relocated and is now located in Kabuto-cho.
Takahashi：We chose our current location after having worked in Koenji and Nakano, but first of all, the building itself was good. Also, Kabuto-cho was originally home to many securities firms because of the stock exchange, but as Internet trading became mainstream in the 1990s and 2000s, the securities firms left the area and the town became vacant. That’s when the people from the real estate companies approached me and said, “Why don’t you do it here?”
Takano: What is the lineup of stores in Kabuto-cho like?
Mikachuu: When Mr. Takahashi went to university in New Zealand, his Italian roommate drew wine labels, and from there he started interacting with wine people, so the lineup includes many Italian and French wines that Mr. Takahashi was influenced by. We also have wines from Austria, Germany, Spain, and Japan.
Celeina：I asked Mr. Takahashi to choose a song that everyone would like to listen to on the radio during this time. What kind of song is it?
Takahashi：This is a demo song by Steve Porcaro, who wrote Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature”.
