The Kaiten Belt

The cook is really superb,

Fifty sushi are ready in a few minutes;

The waiters are already very prepared,

To serve the customers within minutes.

The boss thought of his internship at Sapporo,

He was told off as too innovative for a sushi maker,

He was then sent to make tomyam ramens,

For he was considered a Thai even if he was not.

They do sell charcoal-grilled chicken,

So fully-flavoured they are,

That even the least active children,

Take delight in consuming the fare.

He learned a bit of Russian tomato sauce rice,

Since Sapporo was close to Russia,

However he was careful to serve it soft in these days,

When local taste buds matter over the years.

Hence he learned a bit of Hainanese chicken chop,

And put it into the menu after the fusion culture here,

The cooks were too anxious to contribute,

And he learned all crucial elements to a shop here.

The customers reel in like shoals of fish,

That would be to interpretations so sheepish;

They are like virtuous and faithful customers,

Taking up their meals as enthusiastic diners.

He cares about the less-advantaged people too,

As he came out with promotions after another,

People come in like a pilgrimage too,

Where they can be happy just because of food.

The kaiten belt has a double meaning to the boss,

He earned his judo belt on May the first,

On the same date, but on a different year it was,

When he earned his title to cook the best.

He plans to open a fusion restaurant back in Sapporo,

And another in downtown Tokyo;

Where he feels the vibe is right for a slightly different taste,

That he can easily vindicate against the rest.
