<\/p>\nTakesan Ramen’s first restaurant in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, celebrated its sixth anniversary today.
\nWhen we opened six years ago, there were only one or two authentic Japanese ramen restaurants in Mongolia, including Aji-Sen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Actually, our franchisee in Mongolia did not initially intend to open a Takesan Ramen restaurant. They expressed their desire to start a Japanese food franchise business.
\nWe listened to their experience, achievements, existing business, and management philosophy, and introduced them to several businesses that we thought would be a good fit for them. Seven years ago, they came to Japan on an inspection tour and spent four to five days visiting many Japanese food franchises.
\nAmong them, Takesan Ramen caught their eye.
\nA miso company with a 240-year history
\nRamen made with miso produced in traditional wooden barrels
\nMiso ramen served in special clay pots
\nThe design of the restaurant
\nAbove all, the personality of Takesan Ramen owner Mr. Takeda
\nAfter experiencing all of this, they decided to join the Takesan Ramen franchise.<\/p>\n
Franchising is a long-term business contract.
\nI think the most important factor in deciding whether to become a franchisee is whether the franchisor and franchisee will be good business partners in the long run.<\/p>\n
As we are independent businesses, there may be various differences in our environments and opinions.
\nIn such cases, I think it is necessary to go back to the beginning and reaffirm our partnership as people with the same aspirations.<\/p>\n
Congratulations on\u00a0 sixth anniversary.<\/p>\n
