Jimotti's Apparel : Floridian Rhapsody


We are running a Japanese restaurant in Florida, and our staff members all share a passion for the beautiful nature of Florida. With that in mind, we decided to start a clothing brand as a new project. 

We are excited to embark on this venture and create something that embodies our love for Florida's great outdoors.

 

We donate a portion of our profits to support nature conservation efforts in Florida, and we hope to receive support from those who also love and appreciate nature.

 

 

We use the free platform "Bonfire" to donate as much money as possible. Therefore, after purchasing our products, you will receive an email from Bonfire for communication purposes.


Kutaniyaki-USA

Our company has become the sole distributor of Kutani Bitoen in North America.

Kutani Bitoen is a long-established Kutani pottery company that has been in business for over 100 years since the Taisho era.

When His Majesty the Emperor was still the Crown Prince, Kutani Bitoen was the company that produced the daily-use tableware for his and Princess Masako's life together.

It is also a very interesting episode that Yoko Ono visited the studio and fired a one-of-a-kind piece of pottery with her own handwriting on it.

As the North American distributor of Kutani Bitoen, we are very proud to be a part of the Kutani Bitoen family. At the same time, we are proud to be able to deliver truly high quality products to the American people.

 


Jimotti's Coffee



Chef - Junichi Takazoe

 

Junichi Takazoe, Jimotti's owner chef, is originally from Shiga, Japan. He started his journey as a chef while he was in Japan and worked as a chef at well-known restaurants, such as Nobu in Minami-Aoyama and Marui-Sushi in Ginza, Tokyo. 

 

After a few decades of experience as a chef, he started Jimotti's Restaurant in Sanford, Florida, in 2016. At Jimotti's Restaurant, we're thriving to be the kind of restaurant where locals can come after a long day of work, relax and enjoy the food - that's why we named our restaurant Jimotti (Jimoto means local in Japanese).
