Raising a Golden Egg (Japanese)
(Japanese) When I moved around, like to the East Coast, I taught a bunch of young people. In the future, I’m looking to open up a 2nd, 3rd or 4th restaurant, and looking forward to employing such youth. I mean something like associate managers. I have dreams of raising such a golden egg.
