The Romance of a Japanese Curry Restaurant

A small curry shop in Japan. But this place had a slightly special system.

Back when kids could get free curry if they brought the ticket stuck on this wall.

Thanks to that, the store was always packed with kids, and children from difficult circumstances could enjoy a warm meal without feeling awkward about it.

But this free meal had a hidden secret.

*If you pay an extra amount, one ticket will be attached!*

When adult customers pay, if they add an extra 200 yen, that money becomes a 'meal ticket' that gets posted on the wall.

At first, people too

laughed and mocked it.

But contrary to expectations, many people were willing to participate, and the wall was always full of tickets for the kids.

And as time passed, the children who grew up eating that curry became adults and started visiting the shop again.

This time, instead of being someone who receives help, become someone who leaves tickets for other children. One person's small act of kindness leading to another act of kindness.

Isn't this virtuous cycle the real romance tho.

 

A kid who once ate with that ticket grows up and comes back to make that ticket for other kids...

Man, that's some real romance right there

200 yen isn't that much money for an adult, so it's a solid system
