About Me

I still have a lot to learn, but I won't lose to anyone in grit and the drive to improve! (laughs)

What led me to join

I used to work in the construction industry.

I've been familiar with Okinawa soba since I was a child, and as the years passed, my wish to work with the Okinawa soba I love grew stronger.

Around that time, I saw EIBUN's job listing and thought, “If I'm going to do it, I want the top-class environment in Okinawa!” and applied.

I remember interviewing nervously with the president, who responded to me right away.

A memorable job

The first Okinawa soba I prepped, cooked, and served all by myself.

I still vividly remember a customer who finished even the soup and told me, “It was delicious, I'll come again!”

It was the moment when an endless drive to “keep improving my skills!!” welled up inside me.

What I want to do What I want to take on next

Just keep working hard, day by day.Even when I fail, I repeat reflection and improvement.There's still so much to learn, but I aim to grow further and become someone who can lead the shop.And I want it so that whoever I talk to and wherever I go, people say, “Okinawa soba shop = EIBUN!”

Message

Thankfully, we welcome many customers every day, and the shop is incredibly busy.

Honestly, the work isn't easy. There are many times it feels tough.

But beyond that, I think it's work where you can feel a sense of achievement when you overcome it, and feel that you yourself have moved forward a little more.

A single “It was delicious!” from a customer becomes — and this is no exaggeration — truly, truly, truly rewarding.

As a company, we have the goal of spreading Okinawa soba not just within Okinawa and Japan, but to the world.In an environment where you can give it your all, let's build a great shop together!
