We Have Become "Japan's Most Hated Ramen Shop".

Hello.

This is SHOGO, the owner of Ramen Shop Higashi-Kawaguchi.

Our shop has recently caused a major uproar on social media due to a commotion surrounding the congratulatory flower arrangements displayed at our opening.

The cause was my own lack of verification.

Upon seeing the flower arrangements delivered to the store,

"Huh!? We received flowers from SUSURU-san!!"

I was genuinely delighted.

This is because I have been a huge fan of SUSURU-san for a long time.

I watch his videos, of course, and I have actually visited Kitano Shoyu Chiho, which SUSURU-san is involved with.

That's why I was so happy that I got carried away and even sent him a thank-you DM...

This is the image I sent to SUSURU-san via Instagram three days after opening.

However, later, it was revealed on SUSURU-san's YouTube channel that the flower arrangements were not from SUSURU-san himself.

As a result, we caused misunderstandings for many people and inconvenienced SUSURU-san as well.

I have apologized via Instagram and X DMs to SUSURU-san.

I am truly sorry once again.

This is the DM I sent via Instagram after watching his YouTube channel. However, it has not been read yet...

But, to be honest.

Lately, I've been thinking a little.

"Why is this becoming such a big topic?"

My car was vandalized.

I get criticized on social media.

Regarding this incident,

I was told,

"Japan's Most Hated Ramen Shop"

⸻

But.

If we are truly the most hated in Japan,

Please come and try our food at least once.

We ask that you hate us after that.

⸻

We are not a large corporation.

We have no advertising budget.

We have no connections with celebrities.

All we have is:

The soup we prepare every day,

A large amount of green onions,

And a shop owner who hates to lose.

⸻

Since we've been on fire,

We're doing a campaign instead.

We won't run away from ramen.

We are serious about ramen.
