Gokan began his bartending career in Tokyo, followed by a move to New York in 2006 where he directed the renowned bar programme at Angel’s Share for several years. Gokan then founded SG Group with the opening of Speak Low in Shanghai in 2014, and today operates eight cocktail bars and restaurants located in China and Japan, each with a distinct concept. SG Group holds the record for winning the most awards won by a bar group in The World’s Best and Asia’s Best Bars lists with 47 cumulative awards.
