Dear friends of IROHA
Our 9 years of service is finally ended on last weekend. We’ve spent a whole this week to clean up the entire venue, removing our logo and signs.. ready for the hand over.
Thank you so much for everyone who came for our final lunch and dinner services. We are so touched that huge numbers of friends and super regulars came to see us since the closer announcement.
It was truly amazing 9 years serving to our friends and customers. it was amazing 9 years meeting so many wonderful people through this business. We were so lucky to have this little restaurant in this particular community and supported by the best of the best customers.
Thank you so much to ALL customers came to IROHA last 9 years.
Thank you ALL friends always supported us on the business and as friends.
Thank you ALL suppliers proving us the best ingredients.
Thank you ALL restaurants and hospo friends in Northcote and Thornbury, we create the food cultures together.
Thank you ALL staff worked at IROHA last 9 years, we couldn’t have done without your hardest work and the smiles. Thank you also for creating such a memorable and surprising message booklet by OG’s and OB’s. Very very special gift for me.
Thank you ALL relatives and family back in Japan always caring us and support us with love.
Finally a word can’t describe how I appreciate your love and care and being a special human being, my wife Naoko, thank you so much for the hard work, support and care for last 9 years to make our dream comes true together.
Now, I’m in the IROHA’s kitchen for the very last time by myself in the middle of night, polishing pans and pots that I used for last 9 years, every day. It’s funny that I’m sure there were a lot of challenging time and sleepless nights that i had to face and over come it, however all I can think back at this moment is good memories with people’s smile and enjoy working with the best staff.
I thought I’m not gonna cry because I know this is not the end, but realising I’m actually leaving this place tomorrow and not coming back here anymore, I can’t hold back my tears..
Thank you so much everyone for wonderful memories. Please keep in touch with us.
