To the ocean, to the city. The Daiwa 247 moves effortlessly between environments.

After returning to Tokyo, we met up again at “koin tomigaya,” a restaurant opened by Mr. Takeuchi. It’s run by two people: Chef Kohei Kori, who honed his skills at renowned restaurants, and Kanta Yamada, who serves as both sous chef and sommelier.

The restaurant’s name is derived from the currencies (coins) used in various countries. Currencies have a unique quality in that they can only be used within their respective countries or regions. Just like those currencies, the name embodies the desire to offer dishes and experiences that can only be enjoyed here. Although it’s a casual bistro, Mr. Gun says, “I don’t think we need to define it. It’s kind of like an izakaya.”

All four of them changed clothes, but just like when they go fishing, they wore the “Daiwa 247 Series.” The lineup includes clothing that offers comfort even in the city—featuring waterproof, windproof, and moisture-wicking quick-dry properties—so they can go about their daily lives stress-free.

Mr. Takeuchi is wearing the “Danrotech Zip-Up Sweatshirt,” made from “Danrotech,” an original material from that emits far-infrared rays. Thanks to its relaxed fit and warmth, it keeps you comfortable not only during activities in extreme cold but also in everyday life.

Takeuchi:The lining feels great against the skin, and the fabric’s high stretch makes it incredibly comfortable to wear. This color scheme is perfect for days when you want to look a little more put-together while still maintaining your signature sporty style. Lately, I’ve been into cinching the hem to make the length a bit shorter. Even when I adjust the silhouette, the fabric is so soft that it doesn’t feel restrictive at all.

The item Mr. Sato is wearing is the “Cordura × Octa Track Vest.” The outer fabric is made of Cordura, making it lightweight yet abrasion-resistant and water-repellent. The lining consists of a lightweight, high-performance tricot fabric that integrates the insulation and lining into a single layer. The hollow-core fibers in the insulation feature a special structure that traps a large amount of dead air, ensuring both lightweight construction and excellent thermal insulation—this is achieved through the use of Octa.

Sato:I love vests and wear them often, and this one is incredibly light. The neckline is lined with fleece, so it’s warm and feels great against the skin. It’s perfect for this time of year when it gets chilly at night but I don’t want to bundle up too much. I think it’s very versatile—it works well as both an outer layer and a mid-layer.

Mr. Katsumata and Mr. Taguchi are wearing the “Storm Fleece Jacket.” This jacket is made from “Storm Fleece,” a functional fabric that features a durable, water-repellent outer layer and a brushed inner layer that ensures warmth. Its lightweight design is achieved through a single-layer, double-weave construction featuring an outer layer with excellent wind and rain resistance and a soft, highly insulating inner layer. It’s a versatile piece for layering year-round.

Taguchi:I think this will work well in a wide variety of situations. It’s lightweight, warm, and comfortable to wear. I just walked through Shibuya, and it blended right in with the cityscape without feeling out of place at all. I really like the understated design—it doesn’t scream for attention. The patch on the sleeve gives it a military vibe, and I think the pocket placement is inspired by fishing gear. You can really tell they put a lot of thought into both the design and functionality.

Katsumata:It’s lightweight, yet incredibly warm. The large zippered pockets are really convenient, too. The design is minimalist, so I think it’s easy to coordinate with other outfits. The color scheme is cute, and it goes well with my everyday clothes. Fleece usually lets the wind through, but the fact that this one is windproof is a huge plus. I usually avoid fleece when it rains, but having some water resistance really comes in handy when it suddenly starts pouring.
