A popular ramen restaurant in Sapporo suddenly became a topic of conversation when it posted, "Our manager is truly sorry for the inconvenience.... The review was written by a customer, and the content was shocking. What in the world happened?

I'm really sorry that our manager caused you trouble...

Quote from @T_ginparou's post.

What a review, "The manager, who looks a lot like Youtuber HIKAKIN, is so shocking that I forget what it tastes like on the bill. The comments included, "It makes me want to go back to check it out," and "I have to try it again if I'm going to forget," while an actual customer commented, "He really looks like him. If you've come this far, you'll want to see his face, won't you? Does he really look like HIKAKIN?

We talked to the manager of the rumored store. His face is...

The post was made on the official X account of the Sapporo Teine branch of the popular ramen restaurant "Ramen Ginhalu," which has six branches in Ebetsu, Sapporo, and Kitahiroshima in Hokkaido. We spoke with the rumored manager himself.

You are the talk of the town this time. Do you often get told that you look like HIKAKIN?

Mr. Tsuchida, the manager who is talked about for his resemblance to HIKAKIN

It's no wonder they say we look so much alike! I can't help but look twice when I pay my bill. Even more surprisingly, Mr. Tsuchida and HIKAKIN share the same birthday! Some Ginparo fans are whispering about the theory that they were twins in a previous life.

A ramen restaurant that can be enjoyed by families, "even customers with children can enjoy a leisurely meal".

Ginharou Teine Branch opened in March 2016 and is celebrating its 8th anniversary. It offers uniquely delicious ramen characterized by the flavors of savory soy sauce, garlic, and sesame seeds. The restaurant is popular among families, and offers staggered serving times to make it easier for customers with children to eat, as well as hands-on "ramen classes" in summer and winter, where customers can make their own ramen in the kitchen.

The restaurant also offers many other "fun" activities, such as the "Dekasobi Challenge! Mr. Tsuchida says, "We hope that our customers can also enjoy themselves outside of the dining experience. We hope that our customers can enjoy our restaurant in ways other than just eating here!

Abura soba, a huge challenge menu item

Mr. Tsuchida's favorite menu item is the "Paikyuu Noodle," a hearty dish topped with deep-fried pork belly. He recommends the soy sauce flavor, and says that the soy sauce sauce with lots of pork flavor is the deciding factor.

The manager welcomes you at "Ginha-Ro Teine Branch," which exudes a cheerful personality.

Ginparo Teine Branch is loved by many for the warm hospitality of its staff and delicious ramen. If you are in the neighborhood, why don't you drop by? If the shock of seeing the manager makes you forget the taste, go to ...... to try it again!
