Two restaurants in Tokyo that employ evacuees from Ukraine and serve traditional home-style dishes from the country are becoming popular among local residents.
Located in the western Tokyo cities of Nishi-Tokyo and Kodaira, the restaurants are run by two Japanese people who hope to not only offer jobs to those who have fled Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but also give them a sense of fulfillment in their life in Japan. The two have been working to launch new restaurants to provide such opportunities to more evacuees.
