Learned the know-how of restaurant management while working in a company and started an independent business.

Mr. Tani was born in 1983 in Kumano, Hiroshima. While studying at a medical university, he felt that "eating and drinking have the power to energize people" and began to consider running a restaurant in the future. However, as he worked for a medical equipment manufacturer after qualifying as a radiology technician, he realized that "cooking alone is not enough to make people happy" and that "it is important to continue doing ordinary things such as greeting, cleaning, and personal grooming as a matter of course." He decided to start his own business with the philosophy of maintaining an "Aohige (freshly shaven clean look)."

As she valued daily food, her passion for food in people's lives grew stronger. The reputation of the dishes shown on social networking sites also encouraged the launch of Yasuda Shokudo.
