えのきとの出会い | ”Meet the Enoki"
2024年03月14日
チズルさん25周年誠におめでとうございます。四半世紀、女手一つで、この厳しい世界でよくもここまで続けてこられたことに関心させられますと共に日頃の人一倍のチズルさんのがんばりには頭が下がる思いです。
これはひとえに、チズルさんのお客様に対する分け隔てない対応や、歯に衣着せぬ直言など、お客様を引き付ける魅力的な性格によるところが大きいのではと感じております。さて、時が経つのは早いもので、私がえのきに通い始めてからもう13年が経ちました。
私のえのきとの出会いは、平成8年初夏、夕暮れには少し間がある時間に、のんべえ横丁においしい焼き鳥屋があると、友人に連れてこられ、鳥福に行きましたが、時間が早すぎたこともあり、まだ開店していませんでした。やむを得ず帰りかけてえのきの前を通りかかったところで、チズルさんが開店の準備をしているのが見え無理をお願いして入ったのが最初でした。第一印象は、非常にアットホームな感じがして、今まで気が弱く一人で飲みに行くことが無かった私にとり、初めて一人で飲みにいける店をみつけた思いでした。それ以来、毎日のように顔をだしましたが、初めのうちは、常連の方となかなか馴染めず、言い争いになり、ママから“来すぎる”と言われたり、一時は出来り禁止となったりと、様々なトラブルを乗越えて、徐々に皆様に認知していただくようになり今日に至っています。
私など、まだまだ新参者で偉そうなことは言えませんが、えのきのお客様は類は友を呼ぶとよく言いますが、私と肌合いが合うような気がしています。目立ちたがり屋である半面、相手を思いやる気持ちがあり、好き勝手なことを言っても、受け入れてくれるよき仲間達です。最近でこそ、体調を崩し、一月に一回いけるかどうかですが、久しぶりに顔を出しても快く迎えてくれて、楽しいひと時を過ごさせてくれる、私にとっては、非常に貴重なお店がえのきです。
これからもチズルさんや楽しい仲間達に会いに行きたいと思っておりますので、チズルさんも体に気をつけて、30周年、35周年に向けて、楽しい仲間達のためにも、えのきを末永く続けていってください。
必ずや、楽しい仲間達を応援してくれることと思います。

Congratulations to 25th anniversary Chizuru san!
I am impressed that you have continued to operate Enoki’s business by yourself for so long.
I am deeply impressed by your daily efforts.
I feel that this is due in large part to her charming personality, which attracts customers with her open attitude, and her direct comments that are not based on any prejudice.
I feel that time flies by very quickly, and it has already been 13 years since I started coming to Enoki.
My first encounter with Enoki was in the early summer of 1996, when there was still some time before dusk.
A friend brought me to Torifuku in Nonbee Yokocho, saying that there was a good yakitori restaurant, but it was too early and the restaurant was not yet open.
As we were about to leave, we passed by Enoki.
We saw Ms. Chizuru preparing to open the restaurant, and knowing the impossibility, we asked her to come in and that was the first time we went in.
My first impression was that it was very homey, and as I had never gone out for a drink alone before because I was too timid, I felt as if I had found a place where I could go for a drink by myself for the first time.
Since then, I went to the regular Enoki every day in the beginning.
At first, I had a hard time getting along with the regular customers, and we sometimes argued.
Chizuru-san told me that I was coming too often every day, and at one point I was even banned from the Enoki.
After overcoming various troubles, we have gradually come to be recognized by everyone and are here today.
I am still a newcomer to Enoki and can't speak highly, but I feel that Enoki's customers are kindred spirits.
They are a good group of people who, while they are eager to show off, are considerate of others and accept me even when I say what I want to say.
Recently, I have been ill and can only go to Enoki once a month or so, but even if I show up after a long time, they welcome me and let me have a good time.
I would like to keep visiting Enoki to see Chizuru-san and her fun friends.
Please take care of yourself, Chizuru-san, and keep Enoki going for a long time as 30th and 35th anniversaries.
I am sure that your fun friends will support you.
