Saoji is coming to Tokyo on 2nd March at Swagat Roppongi 2-chome. They'll serve a special menu featuring traditional Saoji dishes, prepared by their co-owner, Takashi-san, who recently trained under Saoji masters in Nagpur.

The Midori Store in Fukuoka is the only Saoji eatery in Japan, and it already attracts many fans from across the country.
Now, Takashi-san is going to open "One-day Saoji" at Swagat Roppongi 2-chome.

Takashi-san, the co-owner of Midori Store, recently spent nearly one month in Nagpur to train under Saoji masters, one of whom is Shankar Saoji.



 

As you can see in the video, Takashi-san's skills have been not just recognized, but approved. His Fukuoka restaurant, a daily destination for craving Saoji lovers from India, is a testament to his culinary prowess.

I resonate especially with Takashi-san's idea of building a business that connects diversified labor forces, including differently abled people. I can only foresee his business growing, nurturing, and sustaining itself for a long time, bridging two countries.
