Consulting case

■Mongolian Kite Tana

Mongolian Restaurant “Sato” opened in April 2019. After that, sales dropped sharply due to the corona. We are on the brink of bankruptcy. It was difficult to continue the business anymore. Therefore, we consulted with  Inbound Association of Aichi.

Through consulting we noticed that since we had a network of Mongolians, we could introduce some work to Mongolians. So we decided to start a recruitment business.

First, we created a corporate registration document with an administrative scrivener that allows to start an employment placement business.

To continue business, in regard to finance and loan, we consulted with a tax accountant. We made a contract with an accounting consultant and they helped us regarding finance.

In order to increase our sales of restaurants, which is our main business, the member of the association use our place and introduced us many customers to our restaurant to secure our sales.

Corporate registration is completed one month after we consulting with the association. The company name was changed from “Mongolian restaurant Sato” to “Sato Co., Ltd”.

The application for a paid employment placement business permit, which is a business permit required to do an employment placement, is completed immediately.

The application will be approved two months later. Till then we are preparing the flow of business.

From Kite Tana

Until now, I couldn’t make any decisions by myself, and there was no one who I could consult about management, so I had no means.
However, by getting to know the members of the Inbound Association of Aichi, I was able to understand the management methods and mechanisms that I had never known before, and I was able to register the corporation I had hoped for in just one month later. As for the procedure, I was able to prepare and collect documents in a month from scratch, and after completing the corporate registration, I was able to apply quickly. I was able to proceed at such a high speed because I was supported by professionals in the association.

Also, it was very encouraging for me the member of the association to come to the store for encouragement and to have the store used by a group and to be close to me as a companion.

I also want to get my work on track as soon as possible and become a companion who can think about business with them.

Sightseeing presentation to Japan

We presented the charm of Nagoya at Japanese Food Expo 2020.

Number of participants: Approximately 70 (advance invitations related to travel)
We introduced attractive tourist items in Aichi prefecture that touch the chords of inbound travelers with videos.
The video introduced three books, samurai culture, traditional crafts, and soul food, but the one that received the most response was soul food.
The source of Aichi’s soul food is Aichi’s traditional fermented foods. There is no doubt that dishes made with Hatcho Miso from Okazaki City are attractive tourist items.

Despite the high admission fee, some fans seem to come every year, giving a glimpse of the high level of interest in Japanese food among Americans.

As for the prepared Hatcho Miso powder, 17 bags for business use and 23 packs for home use were sold out.

There is a constant crowd of free samples of miso ice cream. However, what made me feel different from last year was that there were many participants who were shunned by ice cream containing milk. I could feel the development of vegan culture on the west coast.

Great response to retro design T-shirts and postcards reminiscent of the Showa period in Japan.
It became a booth with a constant number of visitors.

There is a long line in the Toro salmon sashimi tasting corner, and the Chirashizushi and Chirashizushi corners are also popular. Americans here realize that they have no resistance to raw fish.
