大森 健司Kenji Omori
-
Mr. Omori, conveying both the old and the new, is an owner who quietly burns his love for sake.
He was born in 1988 in Hyogo. While working as a freelance makeup artist in New York City, he also worked as a server in a Japanese restaurant, which hooked him on sake. After returning to Japan, he realized that although there were places where he could drink sake, there were not many places dedicated only to sake in Japan. So, after three years of study at a Japanese restaurant, he opened his own restaurant, Sake bar KoKoN. As a bridge between sake breweries and consumers, he promotes the goodness of sake.
