Cuisine x Space x Hospitality
Putting our heart into everything we do

Honokawa believes that hospitality comes from three things: "seasonal cuisine made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients," "a relaxing space with attention to detail," and "heartwarming service provided by a team of staff who work in unison." We strive to provide all of these things with our whole heart every day.
Customers of all ages can enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine, which was trained at the Kitashinchi main store, here in Nakanoshima at reasonable prices.

A dream that could only be realized at Tsuji Gakuen

What is your most memorable experience during your time at Tsuji Gakuen?

During the graduation cooking exhibition, I stayed up all night with my classmates for the first time in my life to finish a dish. Even now that I'm working, that experience remains a fond memory, and it's one of the life experiences that has supported me to this day.

Please tell us an episode that made you glad to be a graduate of Tsuji Gakuen.

The wide network. I have connections with seniors and juniors at Tsuji Gakuen, so I get help from a variety of people in my work and personal life.

A message to high school students aiming to work in the cooking and confectionery fields

Unlike high school life, teachers and students are all working towards the same goal, so I experienced a sense of unity and fulfillment that I had never experienced in my student life before. Even now, when I think back on it, it was a fun and fulfilling year. I hope that you will have the same experience.
