Sapporo City Hokkaido

On the table are a fork and a pair of slightly large scissors. People from Hokkaido say they know exactly what's about to happen just by seeing this, but can you guess? This "very Hokkaido" moment, which started with a single photo that went viral on social media, has a surprising answer that many people got wrong.

Just a pair of scissors and a fork, and people from the north know what's coming.

Scissors and fork

Quoted from the post by @BEjjRFPzKj7CuOi

The photo shows just a clean fork and what seems to be a pair of rather large scissors on a dining table. The post by Korin, who shared the photo, said, "People from the north know what's about to happen," prompting many comments on social media associating it with crab, such as "The thing that makes everyone go quiet," "Scissors to conquer something with two claws," and "It's hairy crab, isn't it?" But actually, that's incorrect.

The correct answer was "Rokkatei's pizza"!

In fact, this photo was taken when ordering a pizza at the "kissashitsu" (tea room) attached to some of Rokkatei's stores. The name "Rokkatei" written on the napkin was a clue.

A major characteristic of ordering pizza at Rokkatei is that you're given scissors instead of a pizza cutter. The pizza served at Rokkatei's tea rooms is one of their popular menu items. By cutting it neatly with scissors, you can easily share it with friends and family.

Be sure to visit one of Rokkatei's tea rooms and enjoy their delicious pizza for yourself.
