She revealed that she became a restaurant owner because of her grandpa.

The reason I became a store owner is because my grandpa got cancer. I’ve been supporting him in his fight against the disease all my life. He didn’t worry about himself at that time. I saw how he worried only about the store all the time. I started to help him and protect his store.

Honoka and her friend hoped to continue to make good food and even possibly go overseas to make the restaurant known to more people.

I’d like to continue to bring out new menus items that surpass steak fried rice.
