The city is filled with Christmas lights and decorations 🎄❄️
Meanwhile, the drugstore near my house is already preparing for New Year’s season 🎍—a reminder of how fast time flies.

Having a clear direction is so important🌈
Our office also tries many things—blogs, YouTube, social media—but there are times when we ask ourselves:
“Which way should we go?” 🤔💭

If we go in one completely opposite direction, no one will look at us.
But if we follow the same path as everyone else, it’s too crowded and we end up getting buried 😅

Differentiation is all about balance—
not too far, not too close… but somewhere in between 🎯💡

🍳✨ Introducing the “Skilled Labor” (Indian Cuisine Chef) Visa Application

One of the most frequent visa requests at our office is the
Skilled Labor visa for Indian cuisine chefs 😊💼
Today, I’d like to explain it in a simple and friendly way.

🔑 The most important requirement:

10 years of experience as a chef

And the biggest challenge is how to prove this 📄✨

There is only one acceptable method:
👉 A certificate of employment/experience issued by the restaurants where the applicant worked.

A self-written resume is not accepted 🙅‍♂️✖️

Also, the 10 years do not need to be from a single workplace!
The applicant may combine experience from multiple restaurants to total 10 years 👏
In that case, certificates from all workplaces are required 📑✨

🍛✨ Today’s case:

A chef who can make delicious biryani!

Biryani has become incredibly popular in Japan recently 🥘💖
Do you know much about it?

Biryani is…
👉 The Indian version of “takikomi-gohan” (seasoned mixed rice) 🍚✨

It’s eaten widely not only in India, but also in countries like
Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.

And here’s a common misunderstanding 👇
❌ Biryani is NOT fried rice.
➡️ It is not stir-fried — it is steamed/cooked together with spices and ingredients ✨

The “World’s Three Great Mixed Rice Dishes” are often said to be:
🥘 Paella
🍄 Matsutake rice
🍛 Biryani

Personally, I’m a huge biryani fan…
and the biryani from the restaurant we are supporting this time is absolutely amazing 😍✨
