Jinbeh Restaurant

Jinbeh 甚兵衛 was once a common surname among the farmers and peasants during the feudal "medieval” ages of Japan. Chosen this name by the owner, Ben Matsuda, to symbolize the core values of what the name represented: humility, honesty, and hard work. The word also can be used to describe what a Jinbeh-San commonly wore: a double-breasted, short-sleeve cotton top with long, knee-high cotton pants. Although Jinbeh no longer exists as one's name in modern day Japan, the name will always be remembered as the beacon of the historic era for the individuals who created the foundation of the Japanese economy and strong work ethic.
