I don't have much time to wait in my life

Mr. Asai first got a job in 1986. She joined Sumitomo Bank just in the year the Equal Employment Opportunity Law came into force.

He was originally good at science and mathematics, and said, "I didn't like math unless I had 100 points." Although he was recommended to go on to university by a high school teacher, he decided to go on to become a member of society as soon as possible, but the smile of "Sumitomo Bank's uniform was the cutest" is very charming. ..

In the system development accompanying the liberalization of liquidity deposit interest rates in 1994, he struggled to create an outside engineer team from a PM standpoint. He sought a career career with that momentum, but his academic background required a few more years of experience, and he retired at the age of 24, saying, "I don't have much time to wait in my life."

Mr. Asai: It was a life like running. After that, I studied abroad in Vancouver, Canada for 3 months and changed jobs to an insurance company, but in my late 20s I thought "I want to do what I like" and from there "What is my favorite thing?" I was looking for it. At the Beaujolais Nouveau tasting party that I happened to be invited to, I came across a sommelier, a profession that was not well known at the time, and I thought this was the case.

Driven by his passion for becoming a sommelier, he changed jobs from the financial industry to the food and beverage industry for the first time. Here, he gained experience as a job hopper, traveling across four workplaces. As an aside, in the early 2000s, I was involved in the production of "a book that makes my favorite work" at Recruit. At that time, I remember well that the value of liking to work was still new in the world and looked dazzling, but I thought that Mr. Asai's decision and action were much faster than this.

Mr. Asai first joined Hotel Western Ginza, where Shinya Tasaki, a world-famous sommelier, is located. He thought, "Here you can find first-class wines and sake from all over the world." I also wanted to study French cuisine, so I went to the Imperial Hotel next. Put yourself in a first-class environment, work till night, study until morning. In 2000, he won second place at the Australian Wine Competition and won the 110th Anniversary Cocktail Contest at the Imperial Hotel.

Mr. Asai: First of all, I was thinking about what I wanted to do and what I wanted to be, what kind of study and qualifications I needed to do, and where it was best to work.

Furthermore, at Rokukaan of Okura Food Service, he pursued a marriage of Japanese food and wine, and also served as the store manager. He continued to run from his inquisitiveness and enjoyment, and improved both his ability as a sommelier and his management management ability, but he said that the burden on his body was heavy and he decided to withdraw from the restaurant industry.
