Finding similarities makes you comfortable.
You must understand one thing. The primary purpose of that facility is not a restaurant. It is a “mess” – where people come to eat – It started in 2000 when the number of Indians, mainly they are IT engineers, increased.
A large number of the Indians who are in the IT industry are vegetarian people. So for them, eating out in Japan was very difficult. Becuase they do not take any food which includes meat, fish and egg. It was very important for them to eat Indian food. So we started that as a mess, kitchen and a place to eat.
That was not an open restaurant. It was only afterwards said people in the neighborhood saw Indian food being cooked and wanted to try it. So we opened it for one year, only lunchtime. In the night, only for Indian IT engineers.
