Lives and works in Tokyo. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture (only grew up in Hokkaido as a child).

In his early twenties, while on a series of business trips to the countryside for his job, he discovered the goodness of sake. After learning about sake, he was asked to be in charge of sake selection at events. I am now a staff member at Jizakeya Kodama, a sake specialty store in Otsuka, Tokyo.

There is a lot of interest in "local sake", which is loved by local people in local places, and he is making efforts every day to convey the appeal of "local sake" again.
