Yet, something feels off. After a recent disappointing Omakase experience, I realized the issue wasn\u2019t the food\u2014it was the chef. While polite, his manner when introducing each dish felt perfunctory and slightly condescending, as if saying, \u201cThis is authentic Japanese cuisine, you get it, right?\u201d The pacing was off, and the decor seemed to cut corners on what should have been premium materials. These subtle, nearly invisible details ruined the experience.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>People are remarkably sensitive creatures. Whether dining or shopping, the more premium the offering, the more important it is to cater to the most minute, nuanced aspects of the experience.

Wherever he stands, there\u2019s a story waiting to be told. When he smiles, he radiates warmth, but when serious, his presence commands respect.

Aoyama, Tokyo. At that time, the streets of Tokyo were dominated by traditional navy-blue suits, with few embracing the effortless elegance of Italian tailoring. As General Manager, Kenji Kaga used the Aoyama store to introduce Italy\u2019s top menswear to Japan. Much like the early days in Florence, many people were initially sceptical\u2014what made Italian suits from Naples so costly? But over time, Kaga\u2019s dedication to presenting these suits with unwavering style won over Japan\u2019s elite.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>When I asked Kaga how he managed to bring such a significant shift to the Japanese market, I expected some clever insight or secret strategy. Instead, his answer was simple: regardless of wind, rain, or scorching summer heat, he and his team dressed impeccably every day. For them, it wasn\u2019t just a job\u2014it was a form of \u201ctraining.\u201d Over time, curiosity turned into admiration. Japan\u2019s social elites, including many who are now key figures in the country\u2019s menswear industry, became loyal customers. \u201cThis is my culture; we must create our own culture,\u201d Kaga

He told me that in 1990s Tokyo, dark navy suits were ubiquitous, especially in upscale districts like Aoyama.

A seven-fold tie is made from a single piece of silk, folded seven times without interlining, giving it a unique structure and thickness. Creating these ties requires significantly more fabric than a standard tie, making them a symbol of luxury. Nowadays, such ties are rare, as fewer artisans possess the skill to craft them. When tied loosely, they drape around the chest like a scarf. After Franco Minucci retired in 2010, Kenji Kaga took over both Tie your Tie and its Florence-based tie factory, continuing the legacy of the seven-fold tie.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6ef920f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6ef920f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-04cc60d\" data-id=\"04cc60d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6aecfc0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6aecfc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e66ea51 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"e66ea51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-circle\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a244965 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a244965\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Visionary Team<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-67f7f55 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"67f7f55\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-21b5b7e\" data-id=\"21b5b7e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae00d39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae00d39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Just as Mr. Kaga is known for his distinctive style, so is his partner, Ms. Tomoko Shiraishi.

A grand wooden cabinet, crafted by marquetry artist Takafumi Mochizuki, stands as a testament to their shared aesthetic. Customers can book bespoke fittings with renowned Italian tailoring houses like Sartoria Seminara through Tie your Tie, but the heart of the store remains its impeccably designed neckwear. In addition to ties, the store offers silk Ascot scarves, pocket squares, and more. Many tie designs feature asymmetrical patterns with a remarkable sense of proportion\u2014some catering to the more mature gentleman, while others make bold fashion statements, even without a suit.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The primary colour palette leans toward deep, earthy tones, with occasional splashes of vibrancy\u2014perfectly aligned with Kaga\u2019s fondness for brown suits.

When someone is lazy or indifferent, they rarely opt for a sharply tailored suit. Maintaining a polished appearance in sweltering heat is a true test for every suited attendee at Pitti Uomo. While many attendees grow more casual as the event progresses, Kenji Kaga remains unwavering in his commitment to style.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s easy to tell who wears a suit occasionally and who has made it part of their daily life.

This is why I liken him to a Japanese master chef\u2014graceful and unpretentious with guests, yet his approach to style is as refined as decades of honed culinary artistry.

Mr. Franco himself wasn\u2019t tall\u2014he was only 167 cm, similar to many Japanese men. In the beginning, our ties were only available in one length, which was 152 cm\u2014quite long. Since no one knew our style at the time, Franco decided to tie the tie this way and established it as our signature method. People would often ask, &#8220;Why do you tie your tie like that?&#8221; We would respond, &#8220;This is the trend!&#8221; After being asked for about five years, everyone started wearing ties this way, all over the world!<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s amazing how it caught
