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.
Β
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

The owner kinda looks like that tricycle owner guy
baby go brrr
just thinking about the despair edition freaks me out
It's like Koreaβfrom a country receiving aid to a country giving it
giving main character energy, if i ever open a restaurant i want this energy
Teaches kids that helping others isn't free and gives adults a sense of fulfillment
So romantic...
Ngl that's some real romance.. I'd probably stick one up if I went there
Man that's just perfect
200 yen isn't that much money for an adult, so it's a solid system
as someone who lives in tokyo this is making me emotional, we need more content like this
Romance
Kid goes in solo and eats and comes back out~
okay but the real question is how good was the curry tho π
In our country it'd just turn into a free meal spot for people bringing kids lol
That's romance
wait a japanese curry restaurant has a ROMANCE story?? now i need to know everything π
lmao i thought this was gonna be about food but the love story hits different, honestly beautiful
not me tearing up over curry and love at 2am, why is this so wholesome π₯Ί
this is the kind of viral content we actually need instead of drama for once
