I started working here because I was a part-time worker at our company's retail store in 　my college days. When I retired from another company, I reported to the manager and the landlady. They advised me to reinstate as an employee, and after 3 days of the president interview, I started working at “Wagokoro Tonkatsu Anzu” Harada.

When I was a store manager, sales marked double and manpower run short. That was unforgettable. The president himself assisted in sorting washings, and the staff voluntarily increased working hours and reduced my burden. I realized that “It is not just a shop or company where the food is delicious“. So I also try to help a little when I go to the store.

Shortly I was entrusted to open the new store domestically and overseas, I am the president of Taiwan and South Korea's base. I am also in charge of construction of a new factory in Taiwan and Shanghai, and I am advancing with Mr. Sato who introduced on this website. Sometimes we leave for Shanghai from our place to meet, and disband at the destination.

I spend two third of the month abroad right now, but it was hard for me to go abroad at the beginning of my assignment. However, I gradually got used to foreign business practices and I think flexible. For example, opening of the new store was delayed and just finished the day before. That things will not happen in Japan but I came to think that “Oh, again!”. If it is 3 days before, “It is early this time, I can train the staff for 2 days!”. Nothing faze me whatever happens and broaden my horizons.

Commitment is not just food ingredients. For example, we use Arita-yaki's　(porcelain) bowls in to our customers one by one. We are not a family restaurant. Since our belief is that be genuine when you do it, we have a commitment to every piece of equipment. I think that flexibility to incorporate new things more quickly, execution ability, etc. are the moving force behind our corporate culture and growth.

The future goal is to get a higher position. Otherwise, the position of the subordinates will not improve. And, like the staff who worked at the Harada since the opening, I would like to increase the number of company who love us.

There are climates and environments that allow us to express our own opinions and execute. Especially those who are interested in the restaurant industry and overseas business, those who are strongly motivated, especially those who are more motivated, the chances are widening and you can feel a great rewarding.
