Food labels written on the back of products often contain technical terms, so unless you have a fairly high level of Japanese, it can be difficult to search for and secure food items on your own.<\/p>\n<p>When they go out to the supermarket or eat out, they are unable to check the signs and menus, and some say, \u201cI don\u2019t eat out much in the first place\u201d, \u201cI only go to places I know are safe\u201d, and \u201cI always end up eating the same thing because it\u2019s hard to find.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Takumi\uff1aOn the other hand, after conducting many interviews, I sensed the existence of potential customers. Many people said, \u201cIf I knew I could eat there, I would want to go, but I can\u2019t because I don\u2019t know.\u201d Every time I hear it, I think it\u2019s such a waste.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Aoi\uff1aThe second most common problem after eating was finding a place of worship. Most people pray at home, but when they go out, they don\u2019t have a place to worship. If you are in a place where others can see, you will attract attention, so after looking for a private room, it seems that people often use fitting rooms or nursing rooms. However, I heard some people say, \u201cI feel apologetic to God\u201d because they were unable to secure a place due to congestion and were unable to make it to the Salat times.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Takumi\uff1aThe process of translating the customer needs that emerged from those interviews into a single service was extremely difficult.<\/p>\n<p>When you say \u201cMuslim\u201d in one word, there are a wide variety of people. For example, even among fellow Muslims, there are those who say, \u201cI can\u2019t eat pork, but gelatin is OK\u201d, or \u201cI drink alcohol\u201d, \u201cI absolutely can\u2019t drink alcohol, and I don\u2019t like using the same cooking utensils.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to ingredients such as pork and cooking wine, it is also necessary to cook with completely different equipment than those used to handle non-halal items.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on people\u2019s point of views, the types of food they could or could not eat varied greatly, and the more interviews I conducted, the more this came up.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Mahiro\uff1aThere was also an idea to narrow down the targets based on the degree of strictness, but the question is, \u201cWhat is the degree of strictness?\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Aoi\uff1aEven when we say degree, it\u2019s not like a fixed amount where level 1 is this amount and level 2 is this amount.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Mahiro\uff1aDefinitely.

At first, I thought, \u201cWhy is this happening?\u201d, but it made me realize how difficult it is to align each product\u2019s image.<\/p>\n<p>The designer\u2019s proposal was for a UI that allows users to search by category, such as food or places of worship. On the other hand, what I had in mind was a map interface where you could search for stores on a map. Many apps that allow customers to order from the comfort of their own home by choosing from known restaurants and delivery times use a category search UI, but this doesn\u2019t fit HaloDish\u2019s persona and vision. When looking for a restaurant or place of worship when you are out and about, you need to know how far it is from your current location, what it looks like, what kind of menu it has, and what is on the menu. Knowing this would be more in line with HaloDish\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Mahiro\uff1aThe reason we started with services specifically for eating out was because our interview survey showed that people tend to have more trouble eating out than eating at home. For example, one person said, \u201cEven if I want to eat something on the go, I can\u2019t look it up quickly, so I can\u2019t enjoy eating out.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Aoi\uff1aAlso, I got the impression that there wasn\u2019t much practice in eating ready-made meals(*). I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s because they don\u2019t know what foods are available in Japan, or if it\u2019s culturally lacking in the first place, but the overwhelming majority of people said they cook their own food when they eat at home.<\/p>\n<p>(*A meal style that is an intermediate point between eating out and eating in, such as purchasing prepared food, takeout, and delivery.)<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Daiki\uff1aWhen I spoke about this with our development team, they were immediately convinced. I have learned that barriers can be removed by presenting concrete examples and by making a logical argument for why you think that way.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the difficulty of communicating remotely and speaking a different language. When I developed something with an acquaintance, we were able to exchange opinions face to face in a flash. But this time, there is a time difference, and many members are working on the side, so it is difficult to manage progress, also, communication is in English\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Aoi\uff1aDaiki handled all the development aspects.<\/p>\n<p>He often relayed points of confirmation from the engineers, such as filter specifications and how much information to display on the store, to us, the business team for consideration.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have much programming knowledge and didn\u2019t know what format would be best, so Daiki gave me a lot of advice, such as \u201cthis kind of format is convenient\u201d.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Daiki\uff1aOne of my jobs was to find a compromise between the information that engineers have, the actual content of the program, what can be done realistically, and the ideals of the developer. I think it\u2019s quite difficult to reconcile it with reality so that it doesn\u2019t just become idealistic.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--text\">\n\t\t<p class=\"common-text\">\n\t\t\t<p>Aoi\uff1aWe are so greatful.

If we don\u2019t have that sort of opinion to consider, we\u2019ll just end up getting ahead of the product. There are many cases where functional value is created first and then it cannot be used in reality. It is very important to gather real-world opinions through interviews and incorporate them into a realistic line in order to create a product.<\/p>\n<p>Well, actually I am not good at English. When we did the interview at the Indonesia Trade Promotion Center Takumi, who is very good at English, actively communicated with them, which was so helpful.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"block-container mod--image\">\n\t\t<div class=\"common-image\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"common-image__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/halodish-ITPC-Osaka_02.jpg\" class=\"common-image__image\" alt=\"\u30a4\u30f3\u30c9\u30cd\u30b7\u30a2\u8cbf\u6613\u632f\u8208\u30bb\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u306e\u30c7\u30a3\u30c3\u30ad\u30fc\u6240\u9577\u304b\u3089\u306f\u30a4\u30f3\u30c9\u30cd\u30b7\u30a2\u4eba\u306e\u65e5\u672c\u3067\u306e\u56f0\u308a\u4e8b\u3001\u30cf\u30e9\u30fc\u30eb\u30d5\u30fc\u30c9\u696d\u754c\u306e\u52d5\u5411\u306a\u3069\u3001\u69d8\u3005\u306a\u89b3\u70b9\u304b\u3089\u3054\u610f\u898b\u3092\u3044\u305f\u3060\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3053\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306b\u30a4\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u30f3\u751f\u305f\u3061\u306f\u5404\u81ea\u306e\u5f97\u610f\u5206\u91ce\u3092\u6d3b\u304b\u3057\u3066\u30d7\u30ed\u30b8\u30a7\u30af\u30c8\u306b\u53d6\u308a\u7d44\u3093\u3067\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/halodish-ITPC-Osaka_02.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/halodish-ITPC-Osaka_02-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/halodish-ITPC-Osaka_02-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/halodish-ITPC-Osaka_02-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/halodish-ITPC-Osaka_02-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"common-image__caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\tMr. Dickey, director of the Indonesian Trade Promotion Center, gave us his opinions from a variety of perspectives, including issues faced by Indonesians in Japan and trends in the halal food industry.

During my internship at eftax, I took surveys and spoke directly with people, and I realized that there were a lot of problems. At the same time, I felt motivated to solve problems. At university, I am learning about machines, autonomous driving, space, artificial satellites, car and robot design, etc. In my field major, I aim to solve social issues, so I gained an awareness of issues and solutions through this internship. I want to make use of this desire from now on.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-container mod--introduction\">\n\t<div class=\"common-introduction\">\n\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__header\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__media\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-kuriyama.png\" class=\"common-introduction__image\" alt=\"eftax\u30a4\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u30f3\u3000\u6817\u5c71\u3000\u62d3\u6d77\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-kuriyama.png 500w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-kuriyama-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-kuriyama-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-kuriyama-200x200.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__profile\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\tTakumi Kuriyama\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__post\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__content\">\n\t\t\t<p>What I learned was similar to Haruki, and I think it was great that I was able to experience and learn about the process and methods of solving social issues through business.

However, through this internship project, I realized that it doesn\u2019t take much to see that there are many problems closer to home. Something like, it\u2019s hard to see what is under your nose. I think it\u2019s great I was able to realize that there are people close to me who are facing issues so it definitely broadened my horizons in that sense.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the appealing part of interning at eftax is that you can receive direct business advice from people working on the front lines. There are some benefits to students having all the discretionary authority, but this can end up with nothing more than running around in confusion among the students. I think the appeal of interning here is that you can receive advice from managers and employees, such as \u201cMaybe it\u2019s better to do things this way\u201d or \u201cHow about this way?\u201d.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-container mod--introduction\">\n\t<div class=\"common-introduction\">\n\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__header\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__media\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-fujisaki.png\" class=\"common-introduction__image\" alt=\"eftax\u30a4\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u30f3\u3000\u85e4\u5d5c\u3000\u771f\u5c0b\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-fujisaki.png 500w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-fujisaki-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-fujisaki-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/eftax.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/prof-intern-fujisaki-200x200.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__profile\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\tMahiro Fujisaki\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__post\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"common-introduction__content\">\n\t\t\t<p>I think a great strength of being an intern at eftax is that you get to experience the zero to one process first-hand. At other companies, you may be given a job that is one to ten or a lot of small tasks, however, I feel like it was such an honor to be entrusted with the important task of planning a new business while still being a student and am able to work everyday with this in mind.<\/p>\n<p>I think society will increasingly need entrepreneurs who can create value on their own, rather than people who want to expand existing businesses. This internship program allows you to learn about various fields while deepening your specialized knowledge, and is a valuable environment for aiming to become a T-shaped or H-shaped person. In fact, I am able to interact closely with engineers while working in a marketing field where I would like to deepen my specialized knowledge. Even though I didn\u2019t gain any development skills, I was able to gain a new perspective and realize that engineers think a certain way when creating products.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested,
