Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Maybe since it's Japan, the cook didn't want to dishonour the master he learned from?

Too much kanji, no hiragana or katakana makes it feel like not Japan

Second. Also, I can read Japanese, and that’s Chinese.

Even for someone who’s illiterate, Chinese commas resemble English ones, just placed in the center of a full-width character box. Japanese commas are literally 「、」.

TIL about Chinese commas :)

Maybe it is Taiwan then, since there are no simplified characters.

Both signs have simplified characters. It is probably not TW

I like to think that they are just being honest with themselves.

The writing is Chinese so I doubt it's in Japan.

It's (Traditional) Chinese.

It can be Taiwan, though lots of Japanese shops put up signs in foreign languages to attract tourists.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, it's not impossible to be Japan, but I was thinking Taiwan or even HK, perhaps.

That's Chinese.
