Seems pretty Braggable. Why wouldn't you flaunt that?
Yeah, unless the second best is next door id probably settle.
Maybe since it's Japan, the cook didn't want to dishonour the master he learned from?
The writing is Chinese so I doubt it's in Japan.
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
Hokkaido is in Japan
Yep! And the Outback is in Australia.
Looks like a brand name
Yes, the Hokkaido area is known for their milk production (among other things).
That's Chinese.
I like to think that they are just being honest with themselves.
Slightly more believable than "the best in the world".
Hokkaido is also a type of ice cream. Apparently available elsewhere, too. The rest of the text is chinese (at least, deepl recognizes it as such)
My understanding is it’s less a type of ice cream and more a source of dairy
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
It's just "second to none" but written more verbosely
No. Second to none means the best, this means the second best.
Wouldn't it be "second to one"?
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.
