Masako Morita
Osaka, Japan
Masako Morita has lived in a variety of places - all in the name of tequila. After moving to Mexico in her twenties to educate herself about the spirit (and learn Spanish) she uncovered a passion that led her to become a pioneer in introducing it to her native Japan. She now owns two bars in the heart of Osaka, where she tends bar several nights a week and enjoys teaching her customers about the flavors and origins of tequila.
