Our evening with Shingo Gokan; on the surface he's a highly accomplished and respected visionary within the industry, having opened more award-winning establishments than our hands can count. 🥃

The success of his career completely clicked upon meeting him - charismatic, intentional, and a true leader.

We feel lucky to have spent time with Shingo Gokan, and are still buzzing over the masterclass he graciously hosted with our Keefer team (thanks again!)

To wrap up his visit, we celebrated with a late-night dinner at our sister restaurant, June. When a martini calls, we answer. 🍸
