At last, school was closed and Japan was in a fuss.

Every year, the cherry blossom season will attract more foreign tourists to Japan than summer vacation but this year...

I'm looking forward to the announcement of the convergence declaration as soon as possible and a large number of guests will come back to Japan!

This time I would like to introduce my best friends Lea and Nadia,interesting French girls came two years ago and have supporting 73eats!

Happy birthday Nadia！

They came to Japan for the first time during the year-end and New Year holidays. Nadia's birthday on December 31!

So, of course, Nadia's birthday and New Year's party will be held with the guests staying on that day!





Beer, shochu, Japanese sake, wine, and finally white liquor, which is a dangerous Chinese liquor with an alcohol content of more than 40%, are coming out and the party is booming!



This is dangerous Chinese drink！

Let's go to Hatsumoude!

Speaking of New Year in Japan, Hatsumode!

Lea and Nadia, who had been wearing yukata, also changed clothes and left with the drunk multinational group at Suga Shrine near the guesthouse!



Suga Shrine is famous among foreigners because it became the stage of "Your Name", a hit in the world!





For the first time to worship, fortune, and sacred sake!

They ask ”Osusume?” !

Lea and Nadia helped the 73eats Travelers voice.



For the breakfast of New Year's Day, I prepared a little Osechi dishes and zoni, and I was very pleased!

So I interviewed them for app development.

"Do you have any trouble going to a Japanese restaurant?"

"How are you choosing?"

"How do you order food?"

Then they told me that I asked them the right question!

"That's right! We have trouble reading Kanji!"

"What is that kanji on a wall in a Japanese restaurant?"

"No photos, no English speaking staff, I don't know what to do!"

But we found a good way!

”I tell to staff, Osusume"

The moment I heard this story, I felt this was a bad thing in Japan!

Because if you make a foreigner who can't speak Japanese say "Osusume?", Japanese hospitality can't be flattered!

In fact, 30 million foreign tourists come to Japan, but most restaurants do not have English menus.

And once you've come to Japan and become a fan, there are repeaters come again and again so they'll start to go to more local restaurants.

Local dads and moms are doing neatly but there is no way to eat a good restaurant in English even if the earth is turned over!


So I shared the idea of ​​an unnamed app that I had envisioned in my head then.

"I'm thinking about making this app, what do you think?"

They answer immediately

”Shinji, That's amazing!  I need it! "

That's why the development of 73eats started with the approval of them who actually heard “Osusume?”

Intercultural communication life continues! ! !

This time, I introduced Lea and Nadia who cooperated with Travelers voice!

The two are dentists, but private is really good and interesting!

When they come back to Japan,I promise to give homestay at my house, then go to a restaurant together and order using 73eats!
