ワインバー・イゾラが望むこと
ISOLA winebar - what ISOLA wants to bring about
1. Offer magical comforting time & space
Wine does not exist alone, but its characteristics change slightly & seamlessly depending on each person, his/her background, emotion, sensibility & sensitivity, surrounding people to talk with, places & scenes, internal landscape of tasters, pairing food & cuisine, interior & decor, conversation content, and passage of time. .. Isola is aiming to "be a catalytic trigger for a slightly pleasant moment" in yourself.
ワインは単独で存在するものではなく、それぞれの人、その人の背景、感情、感性、同席する相手、飲む場所、飲み手の心象風景、料理、インテリア、会話内容、時間経過によって微妙に変化します。イゾラはその中の「ちょっとだけ心地よい瞬間」のきっかけになれればと思っています。
2. Inherit and transmit indigenous cultural power of wine
Many of our customers prefer a "snack bar like" casual talk or everyday quotidian conversation. However, I would like ISOLA winebar to be a crossing point for all wine lovers in miraculously attractive diverse universe of wine world (mondovino) exchanging ideas on wine's historical, poly-cultural, cross-generational, reproductive power given by mother nature and presumably by Bacchus.
スナック的な日常会話を好むお客様も多いです。ただその中にワイン自体が背負う文化力、伝達力、再生力、そしてバッカス神(お酒の神様)と自然から授けられた生命力などについても語り合える存在で在りたいと思います。
3. Rediscover a proper nature to regain a "game changer" persona in yourself
Some want to say bad things about his/her boss among our customers and some worry about his/her romance and various small things. All customers are welcome to ISOLA but ISOLA believes wine has such a tremendous power as enabling you to turn around your perspectives by 180 degrees getting convinced that "Life is worth living and should never be thrown away, and it can be restored at any time" when you are truly feeling down in the worst period of your life. Wine can be a catalyst to regain a game changer persona in & for yourself
おひとり様、上司の悪口を言いたい人、恋愛やいろんなことで悩んでいる人。いろんなお客様が来られます。ワインを通じて「人生は決して捨てたものでない」、「いつでも修復可能」、「見方を変えると180度変わる」、「この瞬間を生きよう」と思えることを伝えられればと思います。

ISOLA master’s monologue vol. 5
Meaning of sickness (maladie d’amour)
When the French (sorry for taking as an example) say that they are sick, there is a possibility of two interpretations, physically sick or maladie d’amour. The latter evoke something romantic or meta-physic but in reality especially when young it could be very serious (do you understand what I mean? In my case it was quite serious. I mean seriously in love at the teen).
At my current age (do you still recall the unforgettable song of the Beatles? What would you do when you get 64? Thank God, I am still alive, un grand merci) there seem to be not so many occasions to get infected with “maladie d’amour” but instead maladie réelle such as cancer or unpleasant sort of thing... (Sorry for being not so romantic but the ageing could be something inescapably realistic)
One of my best friends unfortunately got cancer recently and told me the following which was in fact impressive & convincing: Statistically speaking, one of the two Japanese get cancer, but given that situation the most important thing is probably not avoid getting cancer but try to live & learn with it because cancer is a part of yourself. Cancer is in fact the very result of the battles in your immune system with them which are your own outcomes.
So let’s live up to the limit, probably to our 90s or 100s together! Let me just remind you of the most relevant song related to the subject of today for my generation and beyond.
- “Desperado” by Eagles.
Cheers,
ISOLA master
