Opportunity to open a store
7,8 years ago, a Malaysian travel agency asked us, "Do you have halal-certification?". After replying the inquiry that we do not have halal-certification , we were sometimes turned down. 5 years ago, the city hall was relocated to the suburbs far from the restaurant, and we thought that the flow of people would change and the restaurant would become slow, so we decided to acquire halal-certification in order to attract tourists.
