It Is All In the Name

Does a rose by any other name smell as sweet? No, if I am going to create a proper restaurant I need a proper name. It was a given that I would have "Nichijou" in my name, but I needed a second component to match. I needed a Japanese word that would represent my Izakaya popup and the nature of my cooking. After long Google searches of Japanese phrases I settled on "Juku (塾)" or "cram school". Cram schools bring up a vivid imagine of young teenagers studying 24/7 to make something of themselves and get one step closer to their dream career. The past few years I have had my nose deep in my cooking and food science books in hopes to be the best cook that I can. There is only so much I can learn studying and reading on my own. This pop up with give me real life experiences, real customers, and real pressure. Nichijou Juku is my cram school.
