Making proper efforts to pursue a deliciousness hidden in the traditional dish.

He is modest to say that his restaurant is a small bistro in this town but still making efforts every day to be better than any other restaurant, and wishing the guests to say [though pork cutlet is a casual food, his dish is special].
