組合概要

About the organization

The Miyagi Chapter of the Traditional Japanese Cuisine Restaurant Association officially came into being in 1971, when the group was formed as a member of the nationally active Traditional Japanese Cuisine Restaurant Association, in accordance with the laws regulating the management and hygiene of businesses. Its members are comprised of well-respected restaurants, all with a long history and a sense of tradition.
The Association’s activities include regulating the hygiene requirements and business practices of its members, monitoring appropriate restaurant layout, and deciding the appropriate hygiene for foodstuffs. It also provides guidance for its members’ own improvement and promotion of the industry. Educational opportunities are also provided for skills and management training.
