Suisei wanted to eat beef tongue with lemon but the clerk at the BBQ store stopped her at any cost

[@Whisom1018]

I can understand if you're at a boutique, michelin star restaurant having a curated/full course meal. Then it makes some sense if the chef is like "you eat it my way or not at all"....but at a chain restaurant?? Fuck outta here, bring me my lemons or bring me my coat.

[@Absolute__Zero]

Yeah, it’s kind of a ‘pride’ thing for certain restaurants (especially Ramen shops in Japan)… Speaking of which, Chloe got kicked out of a ramen shop because she put ice in her Ramen to cool it down since it was too hot for her. She couldn’t wait for it to cool down normally since the chef was pressuring her to eat it piping hot :/

[@dinozero2]

That messed up......at that point the chef should have just said "Hey please burn your tongue".

[@lqfr8813]

i think chloe put in mineral water

[@FreePalestine11]

I imagine its like asking for ketchup when ordering steak.

[@Valk..]

I'd look at you weird but nothing beyond that ahaha... as long as you're paying 😂

[@zerospicon]

This is why automated restaurants without human interactions are becoming popular in Japan. You can have pride, sure, but stop forcing others to do things your way.

[@Spyduck]

It does depend on the restaurant owner. For home-run/family businesses, they may pride their way the food is made and consumed. This adamance usually doesn't present itself in chain-run or franchise businesses. What I suspect is that because the trend (apparently it is dated at least 5-10years ago) has ended, they now reserve their lemons for their shochu highballs which Japan is big on at restaurants and izakayas. Suisei asking for a lemon presents a conundrum with "how to refuse her politely" since they'd want to keep their lemon stocks for their drinks, and if they hand them out for free per customer (assumption), they'll have a problem with serving their highballs where the lemon stock belong to.

[@hafizrusli7745]

Same goes for most italian's logic why can't i eat my food the way i want it? Not everyone has the same palate, if i like it with chili sauce or lemon just fcking let me ffs.

[@BSix66]

Same case as Chloe get kicked out of restaurant, Japan restaurant really need to mind their own business how people enjoy their food.

[@JorgeRodriguez-xd8ue]

"Evacuate the city, engage our defenses and give this girl her lemon"

[@jamesg90]

She should name the joint so that other lemon enjoyers know not to inconvenience the restaurant staff with their pedestrian tastes.

[@almatuska9183]

Pretty sure the restaurant will be destroyed if Suisei name it. Which why she didn't.

[@Graestra]

@@almatuska9183 yeah, talking shit about another brand or business is a big no no in Japan, especially for entertainers that rely on sponsorship deals

[@TheShiningEnergy]

@@Graestra Why the frick would ANYONE want a sponsorship deal from a restaurant that wouldn't let you enjoy their food YOUR way?!

[@Graestra]

@@TheShiningEnergy It's not just about that one restaurant. When you talk shit about other businesses it can give you a reputation that can affect sponsorships from other unrelated businesses as well. It can also affect the reputation of Hololive as a whole, which affects all Hololive members, not just Suisei. It's also possible that that restaurant is owned by a larger corporation that owns other restaurants and businesses. And if what she said somehow impacted that restaurant's sales and reputation, they could potentially sue Suisei or Cover. So as they say, better safe than sorry.

[@TheShiningEnergy]

@@Graestra oooh. yeah. that is true. Be careful what you say.

[@donnymarkozkompany2252]

She would try tacos de lengua, you can put all the lemon that you want in those. Denle unos tacos de lengua a suisei pero en fa papá!!!

[@MrZestful]

Ah the classic JP restaurant rules! One of the things i dislike in JP. I prefer sushi/sashimi soy sauce mixed with wasabi and got kicked out twice. They were a bit fancy restaurant tho but big faq to them.

[@TheRotiVtuberClip]

wow, they did that far? scary!

[@Rdfaiz]

didn't Sakamata also got kicked out of a restaurant for some odd reason not long ago too?

[@MrZestful]

@@TheRotiVtuberClip the fancy one, yeah. One of em, i had to made the reservation from the hotel. I guess an act like a guarantor. Anyway don't be scared. Only a few restaurant behaved like they were and mostly the fancy & expensive one.

[@paincakes86]

@Rdfaiz Yes. If I recall well: The staff pressed her to eat a very hot ramen bowl when she just wanted to wait the bowl to cool off but they insisted so she added a bit of water and got kicked out of the restaurant.

[@ximii132]

guess i wont survive living in jp because i love putting sambal in my sushi lol

[@JMB_Smash]

Honestly that makes me kinda mad. I would never eat there again and tell everyone i know to never eat there again. I know Japan is a different country but that rule is so stupid.

[@edenyan7237]

the feeling is the same, I mean, they can charge you a little for lemon and garlic or things like this, but they can't: 'I'm going to teach you how to eat your meal and how to live your life', customers spend money bought their service, we don't own any debt to them. This is just not right. It has nothing to do with culture, it is just rude.

[@haunss7050]

Beef with lemon 😋

[@SnowJester]

Wait I don't get it, why would they go out of their way to stop her from eating the way that she wants? They're not the ones eating, so why do they even care? I would never visit a restaurant like this again if I can't enjoy my food however I want, let me season my food however I like.

[@LtZetarn]

JP restaurant is like that with their branding, eat like i really want you to eat or get the boot.

[@SnowJester]

@@LtZetarn I mean I've been to many Japanese restaurant in Japan but this only happens in certain types of restaurant which I still don't understand their mindset. And it's not just in Japan, in other countries too. Some restaurants wants you to eat a certain way that's been prepared and seasoned by the chefs and I get it, but forcing a paying customer to not enjoy their meal the way they want is just wrong. Unless I'm breaking some sort of hygiene code or I'm causing problems towards any employees or other customers by doing certain things then I'd get it. Branding is not a valid reason.

[@paincakes86]

In high end restaurant it's highly encouraged to eat the way the chief intend to, since he spent time to prepare and season it in a very specific way, it's specially truth on a high grade sushi restaurant, doing otherwise may be interpreted as an offense, especially when you're eating just right in front of him. But well like MrZestful said, some JP restaurant got weird in house rules, even thought there's really no reason to enforce that, especially on a yakiniku restaurant where the selling point is to grill and season your favorite meat part to your liking. Complete nonsense. Edit: Oh timing. Yeah it's like you said, I agree with you, there's no valid reason.

[@SnowJester]

@@paincakes86 I'll try their food without seasonings first to see if it's to my liking regardless if it's a high end restaurant in respect to the chefs that prepared my food for me, but afterwards if I feel the need for more seasoning or any other seasonings that may be questionable to others then I'm gonna do it. I don't care if it offends the chef after I tried it and I season my food if that makes sense.

[@paincakes86]

@@SnowJester Oh I was just explaining, I do share the same mindset than you. If I pay for something it's now mine and I'm free to do whatever I want with it. (as long I don't disturb anyone and don't waste it ofc)

[@western_gunner]

Eh their loss really, losing a Comet who loves their food, I wonder if there are any info about this particular BBQ house. Also, if they gonna force ppl to eat like they wanted to, they better put a big notice in front of the store to warn ppl, its sound scummy to do that without early notice.

[@JSLing-vv5go]

This is really an unusual story. Shows cultural differences, I would guess. In America, if you want to eat the food a certain way, the restaurant's not going to question it at all.

[@edenyan7237]

nuh, its not about culture, the restaurant is just rude and ignorant, that's all.

[@H4444-f7g]

what part of culture do u get from this video? Even Suisei a person of that own country is annoy by its stupid rule, and btw it is not about "culture", 5 start high class restaurant around the world all do that kinda thing (u eat the food the way the chef make it) BUT, BIG BUT, that is for michelin kind of shit not a freaking grill meat chain restaurant. This is just some weird ass rule of japan that everybody inculde the japanese hate.

[@shillposter7077]

sorry, but Suisei was enjoying beef tongue the wrong way!

[@Lamia_Loveless]

High cousine is hard to understand 😂

[@gokbay3057]

I don't think it is necessarily a Japan thing, fancier restaurants all over tend to have weird rules about stuff.

[@JSLing-vv5go]

Maybe this is just my overseas sensibilities, but this didn't sound like a fancy restaurant to me. I mean, it's beef tongue she was eating. Considering yakiniku is all over the place, what really are the chances this place was fancy?

[@gokbay3057]

@@JSLing-vv5go She also says it's a franchise so I agree that it is unlikely that this place is actually a fancy place. But still, there are some franchise restaurants which are fancier than the regular stuff without being truly fancy, so perhaps could be something like that.

[@nattobaby]

even fancy restaurants aren't this stuck up. they may suggest to you how they want you to eat it but its still your decision to make

[@Aaron-555]

Great clip ☄I get it they want you to eat it there way but its still weird they couldnt give her a lemon

[@gan-erdene.m2732]

I still think its stupid of restaurants to make rule on how you are gonna eat food you ordered and payed. It’s arrogance from my point of view

[@vvaleddy]

Sui-chan so cute. I wouldn't know how to react if something like that happens to me. Chloe was even banned from one place just for petty stuff.

[@NothingBurger-rw3il]

Japan has a lot of unnecessary unspoken rules that are just there to annoy you or make you suffer. Even more so in their work culture. I'm not surprised the self-ending rates are so high.

[@TheShiningEnergy]

dude, just say suicide. it's not that hard.

[@einwolt]

I'm sure this time it's not about them being rude for the sake of being prideful about the food, just them being polite to not tell you to "fck off and stop using the lemons we need it for something else" they won't bat an eye if she brings her own for that reason

[@zuntata7860]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM NOT ALLOWED TO ORDER STEAK WELL DONE AND SLATHER IT WITH KETCHUP?? well? how would you respond without sounding mad bros?

[@Valk..]

You're allowed to, You're just not gonna have a good time, make sure to pay up tho 😂
