From September 8th to 14th, Hankyu Men's Tokyo will be hosting a pop-up store titled "Good tools have a reason" by Kamaasa Shoten, a cooking utensil store founded in 1908, at the Main Base on the first floor. 
 

Kamaasa Shoten (Taito Ward, Tokyo), a cooking utensil store founded in 1908 and located in Kappabashi, Tokyo, will be showcasing their popular pop-up store from March 2021. This time, they will be showcasing cooking utensils that allow anyone to easily enjoy the outdoors, with the theme of "Slow BBQ," which allows both cooks and eaters to enjoy a leisurely time in their own garden or on their balcony.
 
This time, we will be screening a short film featuring special guests Keiichi Sogabe of Sunny Day Service and Taketo Nagatsuka of WONK in a special corner recreating the same set. Be sure to experience the world of "Slow BBQ."
 
 
[Special Guest Introduction]
 
 
Keiichi Sogabe Born August 26, 1971. Virgo, blood type AB. Originally from Kagawa Prefecture.
He began his career as the vocalist and guitarist for Sunny Day Service in the early 1990s.
He released his first album, "Wakamono-tachi," in 1995. His completely new sound, which reinterpreted and reconstructed 1970s Japanese folk/rock in a 1990s style, made a strong impression on listeners.
He made his solo debut on Christmas 2001 with the single "Guitar," inspired by the September 11 attacks in New York.
In 2004, he founded his own label, ROSE RECORDS, and began working based on an independent/DIY approach.
Since then, in parallel with his work with Sunny Day Service and as a solo artist, he has continued to express himself in a variety of forms, including producing, writing songs, film and commercial music, writing, and acting.

Nagatsuka Kento
As the vocalist for WONK, Nagatsuka Kento has performed at numerous major festivals in Japan and has also successfully performed at parks overseas, including two major European cities, Singapore, and Taiwan. He has also participated as a vocalist in works by Tomita Lab, King Gnu, KANDYTOWN rapper Ryohu, and the Kaohsiung-based math rock band Elephant Gym.
Nagatsuka's activities extend beyond music to the food industry. He began cooking in the kitchen from a young age, climbing a stepladder. He later trained under chefs from renowned Italian and French restaurants while studying. After graduating from university, at the tender age of 24, he helped launch a bistro in Tokyo as head chef. He currently develops dishes based on French cuisine while also serving at various events. He also produces the original coffee brand for EPISTROPH, a label affiliated with WONK.
