“Sushi Daizen” is becoming a community where culture gathers

Celeina: And as Ms.Okamoto mentioned yesterday, you are the son of a sushi chef who is well versed in various cultures.

Omae: It is interesting that I am the son of a sushi chef.

Celeina:I heard that you have art works displayed in your store.

Omae:I received them from customers. I have a variety of artwork, from paintings to photographs and calligraphy.

Takano: I understand that you have works by Kosuge Kumi, who used to appear at GRAND MARQUEE.

Omae: Ms. Kosuge was originally a customer. Since we were the same age, we hit it off and became friends, and then she made a piece for me.

Takano: You have a good connection.

Celeina: It’s a great community.

Takano: It’s like a bar.

Omae: That’s right. I would be happy if people come to the store thinking it is really entertainment.

Celeina:“FIST BUMP” is a circle of friends connected by a goo touch. So, what kind of friend would Omae introduce?

Omae:I’m going to read directly from the text prepared by our staff. Ken Kojima is a cultural figure who started out as a professional soccer player in Argentina and is now a manga artist and beauty marketer? I think a cultural figure is a very apt description of a his person.

Celeina: Let’s start with your personal connection.

Omae: When I met him, he was working for a law firm. Before that, he was a soccer player in Argentina. After that, he got his cosmetology license, became a manicurist, and ran a nail salon. I thought I started working in marketing in the beauty industry, but I also did some DJ work, which led me to appear on a music station. Other than that, he runs local festivals, and I don’t really know what he is doing (haha).

Celeina:He is a real cultured person.

Takano: I wonder if I will have enough time tomorrow.

Omae: I want them to find out who he is. That’s what I meant when I chose them. In a word, he is a strange person.

Takano: That’s simple.

Omae: Earlier, I said that I was doing radio with Taiki, but in fact, there were three of us. He is that other one.

Celeina:I see.

Omae:This baton is filled with our thoughts, so it’s really hot.

Celeina:Thank you very much. Tomorrow, I would like to connect to Kenta Kojima, a cultural worker. Today we welcomed Yoshiyasu Omae, a sushi chef at Sushi Daizen in Yurakucho.

Omae: Thank you very much.
