Currently, an increasing number of restaurants in Hirosaki are reopening in a new way in the new fiscal year.

"Dining Umino tomoshibi " (Honcho, Hirosaki City, TEL 0172-55-0374) was closed from April 12th last year, but resumed business on April 1st for the first time in a year. The owner, Yusuke Otomo, used to work as a store manager, but he himself became the owner and decided to open the business.

During the holidays, Mr. Otomo was preparing for the resumption of business while doing a different job from eating and drinking. "After many discussions with the previous store owner to reopen, I came up with the idea of restarting as the store owner. I was thinking about independence someday, so I decided to take over the name of the store and start." ..

Regarding the fact that the store name was taken over and reopened, "I had already decided on the name of the store I wanted to start, but at the workplace where I worked for 10 years from the beginning, there were many regular customers and many people were waiting for the reopening. I wanted to, "says Otomo. "The former owner used to buy seafood, but in addition to that, we have made it a restaurant that can also serve shrimp and crabs. It is fun to be able to serve food to customers who are pleased with many celebrations from the day of reopening. "Smiles.

"Hormoneya Motsube " (Dotemachi, TEL 0172-38-5080) has resumed operations with its previous tenants from April 1st. "Tsukubee" opened in 2005 with the concept of a yakiniku restaurant that you can go to every day, and Mamoru Kato, who became the owner, was one of the regular customers. Mr. Kato, who changed his job to Glow Up (Fujisaki Town), was in charge of the store manager and the store manager of another brand, "Toribee", but "Motsube" is 2020 (Reiwa 2). ) Closed in November, "Toribee" closed on February 28, 2021 (Reiwa 3).

"When it was decided to close the store, I wanted to keep it, so I consulted with the president about independence. I decided to take over the store name and tenants on the condition that they be handed over," says Kato. He retired from Glow Up and became independent from March.

We aim to create a store where you can easily drop in without changing the menu from before the store closed. Mr. Kato says, "The new coronavirus hasn't stopped yet, but I feel that the cluster that occurred in the downtown area of Hirosaki last October was at the bottom. I just need to go up. My feelings are up."

"Uoya Jishu-dokoro Makoto" had a maximum of 3 stores in Kajimachi as a "Makoto group". Sales decreased due to the impact of the new coronavirus. According to the owner, Shinichi Tamura, the subsidies and holidays were enough, but the cluster broke his heart. "Makoto-chan" was closed in November, saying "only business is in the red".

After closing the store, Mr. Tamura was planning to help with the wholesale and farming of processed apples in the family business in his hometown of Higashimeya, but decided to restart after learning that a snack site near his alma mater could be rented. .. Mr. Tamura himself renovated the store, which had been a vacant tenant for more than 10 years. The counter table was re-shaved, the walls were plastered, the bottle shelves were demolished, and air conditioning for cooking was installed.

On March 31st, "Uoya Local Sake Shop Shin-chan" (Kurochikawaai) resumed. It is said that the contractor with whom he had a business relationship has already delivered to the Higashimeya district, which is far from the city center, and regular customers and local acquaintances have already visited. "I want to thank the people around me for their support," says Tamura.

"While helping the house, I now want to sell to the locals at my own pace. When Corona converges and I can do business with peace of mind, I want to think again at that time."
