日本食レストラン

外国に住んでいると日本食レストランはとてもありがたい。寿司や天ぷらなどは比較的簡単に手にはいるがそれ以外がなかなか食べられない。ラーメンもなかなかおいしいのがない。

Shigeko is a very cute and powerful woman. She runs a cozy Japanese restaurant in downtown Wonderland by herself. I often go to see her. She sometimes says, “I’m your Orecon grandmother”, but she does not look that old. She is probably about my mother's age. I recall a time when I was impressed with Shigeko, who cherishes me like her grandson. One day, a person who wanted to buy her restaurant appeared. Shigeko consulted with her daughter quite seriously about this matter. Shigeko began leaning towards selling her restaurant. After some time had passed, she started consulting with her daughter about a new lunch service for the restaurant. Her daughter asked her, “I thought you were going to sell this restaurant?” Shigeko replied, “Maybe this restaurant is going to be sold or maybe not, only god knows about the true outcome. I will try my best on making this restaurant succeed until the very last second.” I was quite impressed with her uplifting attitude. She always tries her best against anything she encounters and I felt like she radiated an energetic power that day. Sometimes, Shigeko can be a bit scatter-brained and she can sometimes make a mistake with an order. However, she has many fans at her restaurant and a large number of "regulars," because she is always smiling and she always tries to give her customers great service.
