ーー What inspired you to work at SG Group?

I was 25 at the time and exploring opportunities to work abroad. A bartender friend introduced me to Shingo Gokan, the founder of SG Group, and that connection eventually led me here.

ーー What is your current role and responsibilities?

I currently serve as the Director of SG Group's subsidiary, SG&SONS Co., Ltd. My background and skills as a bartender allow me to contribute in several areas, including:
•Consulting services
•Drink menu development
•Liquor production
•Event appearances
•Catering services
•Product development and sales

ーー What is important to you in your work?

Regardless of the task, I prioritize a “three-way satisfaction” approach, ensuring that our work is beneficial not only to us and our clients but also to society as a whole. I also try to understand our clients’ needs deeply, often aiming to anticipate their expectations and deliver even greater value.

ーー What makes SG Group attractive?？

SG Group is a diverse team of talented individuals, each with unique strengths. We learn from one another, complement each other's skills, and together create a stronger organization. Beyond traditional operations, the consulting team I belong to, called SG Mission, allows us to reimagine what it means to be a “daytime-working bartender,” offering a new approach to how bartenders work. Additionally, we have numerous opportunities to collaborate with various brands and companies, which broadens our expertise significantly.
