Third day and last whole day in Japan (June 21, 2015).
This is main purpose of our team to visit the true “living legend”
of tube amplifier’s design.
Mr Susumu Sakuma : http://www10.big.or.jp/~dh/
We took a bus from Tokyo to Tateyama and walk to his restaurant.
This year he is 72 years old but still healthy
and continue build new tube amplifiers.
We saw another younger Sakuma in his eyes.
I follow his works via MJ magazines
and found his name every 3 – 4 months with new amplifier.
Yes, he still alive !!!
Concorde Restaurant
His logo badge, so classic.
He cooks food in kitchen by himself.
Only 1 menu in restaurant “hamburg steak”.
Eyes’s food too. 😉
His main turntable : Garrard 401 with 2 oil-damped tonearm.
Mono
Part of his works.
His new project going on.
Thanks Mr Susumu Sakuma for his kindness, informality and delicious steak!
He is unique person either his amplifiers’s sound.
Inspire all of our team for doing something.
Will be back here again next time.
