Kansai Young Executive Board (KYEB) Networking Party

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the Kansai Young Executive Board (KYEB) Networking Party hosted by a business associate of mine, Tomohiro Yamashita, who is the president of the architecture and design renovation firm es. Conveniently located within walking distance from my residence, the KYEB party was held at Yamashita-san's own es building, which is a landmark in the area beautifully positioned along the Dotombori riverside. In total, more than 40 people were in attendance, most of them entrepreneurs, to expand their network among an assortment of food and drinks prepared by the staff of Yamashita-san's restaurant LOVE&CAFE. Having wined and dined at LOVE&CAFE previously, which happens to be located on the 3rd floor of the es building, I cannot say enough good things about not only the food but the ambience as well.

昨日私は、関西若手ベンチャー経営者異業種交流会（KYEB）の交流会に参加して参りました。主催は私の仕事仲間の山下智弘氏で、設計施工デザインを手がける株式会社esの代表取締役です。自宅から徒歩圏内の便利なところにある、山下さん所有のesビルにおいてKYEBパーティーは開催され、道頓堀川沿いに美しく建つそのビルは地域の名所となっています。山下さんのレストラン「LOVE&CAFE」のスタッフさんが用意してくれた料理や飲み物の数々を楽しみながらネットワークを広げようと、合計で40人以上もの出席者を数えました。その殆どは企業家でした。以前にesビルの3階にある「LOVE&CAFE」で食事したことがあり、良かったのは料理だけでなく雰囲気もすばらしく、筆舌しがたいほどのものでした。
