　President Keita Onishi said, “The Corona disaster made me realize once again the importance of employees. We are celebrating our 10th anniversary without incident as a result of continuing to operate with shortened hours, placing the highest priority on protecting employment. The biggest reason we were able to overcome the difficult situation was the support of our employees. I realized that nothing is taken for granted, and I became more patient and appreciative of others,” he says.

　In addition to the daily menu changes, the grand menu is changed twice a year, and the lunch menu changes every month. The most attractive thing about cooking is that you can bring a smile to the face of even a first-time customer who just happens to be in the restaurant with delicious food. In order to convey this joy, I would like to focus on training chefs. I would like to entrust the restaurant to the employees I have trained and work to fulfill my dream of expanding overseas, which I have dreamed of since opening the restaurant,” says Onishi.
