Jingisukan is one of the most popular gourmet foods in Hokkaido! Its delicious flavor is supported by its tasty sauce. There are two companies in Hokkaido that are famous when it comes to Genghis Khan sauce. Bell Foods ( @bellbell_foods ) and Sorachi ( @sorachiofficial ). Often, even among Hokkaido residents, opinions are divided as to which sauce is better. These two companies are suddenly getting closer! The topic of conversation on Twitter has been "What's the difference between the two companies?

The person who played a key role in bringing the two companies together is Matsuo Zingin. The person who played a key role is Matsuo Jingisukan ( @matsuo1956 ). Matsuo Jingisukan is also a very famous long-established restaurant in Hokkaido. What happened to them?

Bell Foods @bellbell_foods and
Bell Foods @bellbellbell_foods and Sorachi-kun @sorachiofficial
Here is the account that brought them together👍

Both of our accounts were mutual followers (for some reason).

I think I followed both Bell Foods and Sorachi-kun when their accounts were freshly created, and they followed me back.

It all started when Matsuo Jingisukan tweeted on Twitter that he had a chance to sit around Jingisukan with Sorachi and Bell Foods.

Before the Corona disaster, I had the opportunity to have Genghis Khan with Sorachi Corporation and Bell Foods Corporation. ...... I'd love to have another sauce discussion with them (surprisingly close friends in the Genghis Khan industry) I just haven't met (?) any of them. (If we have met, he didn't say he was in charge of Twitter)

The fact that Bell Foods and Sorachi were friends around the "same (Genghis Khan) pot" is a surprise to the Hokkaido residents.

I completely missed the boat😅.
I see. I've been with the company for 2 months and in charge of SNS for 1 month, so I had no idea!

I thought it was just a bumblebee 😅.
I should not like or RT on Twitter where there is a debate between Bell and Solachi, or something.

Well, I'll change my mind and look forward to working with you in the future. 🙇‍♂️ https://t.co/1WXtD4tkPP

Then, on August 10, 2022, history moved on. Encouraged by this trend, Bell Foods applied for a follow-up with a thrill to Sorachi. It is evident that the SNS staff member, who had only been with the company for two months, pushed the application button with a great deal of determination.

I thought this was the only way to get this process going, so I went. I went.

After about 20 minutes of waiting.... Mr. Sorachi noticed and immediately followed back! Bell Foods and Sorachi became mutual followers!

It's Mr. Bell~‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Oh, you're on Twitter? I'm an instant follower 🫶 pic.twitter.com/KEceAGyMR6

This Hokkaido's history changed(?). Matsuo Jingisukan, the man who helped bring about this joyous moment, tweeted his happiness and congratulations.

I'm glad to see that I was able to unintentionally bring Bell Foods @bellbellbell_foods and Sorachi-kun @sorachiofficial closer together....

Both of them have been mutual followers of our account for quite some time, but the new person in charge might have wondered "Why...? I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the new relationship with us.

In fact, there is another company that has been watching this series of tweets from behind the scenes. Hokkaido-based sake brewer Oenon Group Godo Shusei's shiso shochu Tantakatan [official] ( @tantakatan_godo ). I love it all" and "I was able to witness this historic moment," he said, echoing the sentiments of other users who had witnessed the event.

I love it all 🥳.
