The difference between those who understand and those who don’t.

This might not just be a matter of taste…

>>2

The one where the taste was the problem.

Because Mr. Fujimoto was an interesting guy.

>>7

It’s Fujimoto-kun who learned a lot from Hage.

It had been transformed into a truly wonderful consommé soup.

It was nothing more than noodles thrown into a fine consomme soup with some meat on top.

Not organized.

Since Fujimoto-kun came up with an idea to surpass himself right from the start, of course…

Was it because it hadn’t thickened?

Fujimoto-kun has been challenging me.

>>22

Well, how should I put it…

It’s like showing leniency…

>>22

Are you running a food stall? Then aren’t we in the same business? The fact that your attitude changed during our first contact feels a bit misleading to say.

I think there is a certain degree of being in a delicate position where we haven’t really established a proper store yet.

>>26

It’s common to become unsure of what the right answer is after tasting it yourself multiple times…

Not only did they become creators, but they also make bold statements in magazines like “The current new wave scene is stagnant!” which makes even the bald ones angry.

Is it not possible for colleagues in the same industry to get along…?

It seems that the ramen soup needs to be thick enough to feel the flavor of the soup when slurping the noodles.

It’s not just about specializing in one aspect; you care about overall coherence, right, bald guy?

>>31

Unless it has established itself as ramen and then makes a breakthrough at one point.

It’s just something that feels like noodles thrown into a good-quality soup.

Well, I think I would have given a few more hints if it weren’t for the interview.

If it were Fujimoto, he would find the shortcomings of ramen on his own.

I’m working to improve to a passing level before challenging baldness.

I won’t suddenly ask for help over the phone.

>>33

Aren’t you going to find it?

I think they really like it because they are responding in a much kinder manner.

The soup itself is quite highly rated at this point.

When it comes to ramen, I’m a failure, though.

Fujimoto-kun initially insists that he will manage on his own!

It might be highly rated in a bald way.

>>41

Didn’t I actually complain to Arisu-san?

There were similar situations in the discovery story, but back then it was just before opening the shop, so it felt like I just made it in time.

>>43

I feel like there are rarely people who realize that if you stretch the noodles by a few millimeters, they’ll mix better with the soup…

>>49

I think it’s a situation where all the ingredients are probably delicious, but they don’t match well overall.

>>55

Is it the one with five spice powder char siu?

>>49

Of course, but I think what Hage wanted to convey at its core is “Don’t forget to maintain the attitude of not being satisfied with the current situation and always trying to move one step ahead.”

It exists in reality too…

The soup is delicious, but when you eat the noodles, the deliciousness of the soup doesn’t come with it…

The soup is really delicious.

What I had was something called rich clam soup.

If the soup is just exceptionally delicious, then you might as well open a rice porridge shop…

I thought so, but the cost of noodles and rice is different, isn’t it?

>>47

That’s exactly what it means to be a soup shop and an office worker.

It’s a perfect position for the bald guy who isn’t running a ramen shop yet is still involved in the industry to be affectionate.

Fujimoto was not just a fanatic; he was able to engage intensely because he had collaborators within the company, and it was significant that he learned many times throughout that process.

Well, before opening a shop around here, I really need to train properly… and the person who was hustling had a good policy too.

The big hint is that the problem is definitely the taste, since I took a bite and put down my chopsticks.

Why can’t you notice…

Were we so close that you could say we were like me and Serizawa-kun?

>>52

As a journalist, I understand the flavor and probably liked it because I also love ramen.

If you’re going to be in the same industry, that’s a different story.

>>58

If a reporter who promotes my shop becomes a rival in the same industry, of course, their attitude will change.

Not noticing that by the second page is a minus for the bald points.

>>81

You can understand by reading the main text, but it’s not necessarily strict just because we are in the same industry.

Because you were saying something as ridiculous as reviving the faded new wave.

I was reflecting on whether I was being childish in later years…

I have the impression that restaurants are mostly about location rather than the content.

>>56

Take a good position, cook delicious food, and do not incur the neighborhood’s displeasure.

Only by doing such things can life be sustained.

>>56

It faced the national road and was incredibly delicious, but…

A ramen shop without parking and nearby condominiums or a densely populated residential area has closed down at an astonishing pace…

Ramen shop near the local university.

It’s ramen, but it’s terrible.

Yet there are many students who eat it while saying it’s delicious.

>>64

If many people are praising it, shouldn’t you first question the opinions of the anonymous masses?

>>75

No, it’s clearly bad…

It has the appearance of a Jiro-style…

>>84

At least make it a little more objective.

You should never trust the subjective opinions of anonymous people.

I’ll give you a light hint, but I’m not kind enough to teach you in detail.

>>65

Since teaching is a business, it would be disrespectful to past and future customers to say “I will teach you for free because I like it.”

This former journalist has quite a low self-assessment, you know.

Since becoming a consultant, I have been receiving gratitude for providing accurate advice.

Inside, I’m thinking, “Anyone could understand this after reading a few dozen specialized books.”

Well, the thread image is a bit grumpy and gives fewer hints, but it’s still saying something.

With rice, you can simmer it to create a cohesive texture, but with ramen, it ends up getting soggy.

The super delicious soup has noodles in it! As ramen, it’s nothing special…

Even chain store ramen can be rated properly if it has overall quality, so if it tastes bad after just one bite, it must have been pretty low in ramen power…

>>74

That is one thing.

To begin with, I was a bit angry because of some dismissive comments about the new wave genre.

>>79

The New Wave genre is now a shadow of its former self, and if I boldly claim that I want to revive it, I might come off as harsh.

Still, the response is quite lenient.

But later on, it turned out that he was actually a talented guy.

It was just a loss to be abandoned and crushed… said the bald man.

>>76

It relieved my stress!

I think it would be better to pay 1 million yen than to go out of business.

Since we’re acquaintances, asking for help for free is being too reliant.

If I had insisted on splitting it…

I wonder how you start a consulting business with no money to the level of going bankrupt.

I wonder if I went in somewhere once.

The reason for failure is continuing lazily without making any particular effort to experiment, even though advice has been given.

Fujimoto-kun’s rebellious spirit is what makes him great.

It’s still the enemy.

There are hardly any ramen stalls anymore.

>>86

The regulations have become stricter.

The food stalls in Fukuoka are famous, but new permits can no longer be obtained, so you can only take over a shop from someone else.

>>92

Is it the same as a religious corporation…?

By the way, YuTori and the others are also in consulting, right?

Could it be that the story he mentioned during his first appearance, about how “many foolish store owners can’t act voluntarily even though their stores will go bankrupt as they are, so consultants make a profit,” is a huge boomerang?

>>90

Different.

Rather, I am putting it into practice.

The store was built to be profitable as intended, and initially, things went as planned, but the crucial ramen itself was mediocre.

>>97

It seems like bald individuals are akin to those who have become professionals in their field through experiences of failure.

>>102

That’s a bit different too.

I had such insights even before opening the ramen shop.

We approached it with perfect location, menu, shop appearance, and so on, utilizing such insights.

It was no good.

I started consulting for shops other than my own.

I think the fact that we can’t spend 1 million yen on information fees within 1 to 2 months of opening is a problem that goes beyond whether the ramen is good or bad.

I truly appreciate my body with all five senses.

May everyone live healthily and happily.

Isn’t it quite cheap if the ramen itself isn’t great, but they can do something about it for 1 million?

It would have been good if we could take measures without being in the dark when I was warning… I really don’t understand at all…

It seems like I would be charged tens of millions for the many hints I gave to Fujimoto-kun if it were a business.

I couldn’t help but think it was 1 million yen cheaper.

Well, it’s true that it’s a situation where you can’t pay.

>>101

When one is poor, they become dull.

In this case, it’s an ideal ramen that he/she envisioned, so he/she cannot view it objectively.

And the taste itself is quite good, so it’s hard to identify any shortcomings.

I get stuck because I don’t know what to improve.

The moment it becomes clear that they’re a competitor, it’s always your style to stop the service, right?

In the beginning, Fujimoto-kun often got beaten up because he lost his business perspective, right?

Despite having treated the new wave as being on the decline without permission, I took a somewhat lenient approach to the guy who came crying to me.

>>107

That’s true.

This ramen is just too kind to be bad.

First of all, the bald person has been feeling guilt about their current position, so they tend to get irritated by those who flatter them, making them a troublesome presence.

“You don’t understand ramen” “It will go out of business within six months.”

This itself is an amazing level of hint, isn’t it?

>>113

Almost blackjack.

Fujimoto, indirect advice is something you realize when you start to lose.

It feels like Yamaoka and Umihara Yūzan around here.

The thread poster had a feeling that the new wave was on the decline, while Fujimoto-kun had the goodwill of being an understanding person who appreciated the subtle flavor.

If you truly don’t think anything, then smile and give a compliment.

They say they’re feeding on information.

Many people probably don’t realize that they can’t taste well due to physical issues rather than personal preferences.

I can stay calm and understand when it comes to other people’s situations, but when it comes to my own, I can’t remain objective…

Even a bald person can barely notice it if they are in a desperate situation.

There are ramen shops that can survive even if the food is bad.

Everyone knows about Kinryu, etc.

I wanted to hear those words.

>>122

There seems to be a lack of determination as a whole in the series of moves.

>>122

First, at that turning point, I strongly bound myself to the idea that I would be a person who does business above all else, so I demand that of others too, which is bald.

I don’t want to.

Aren’t we close, Serizawa?

The situation with Hage and Fujimoto-kun was strongly influenced by the fact that Fujimoto-kun couldn’t escape from being a fan until the final episode, rather than a matter of superiority or inferiority.

If I had said I was looking for a place to borrow money, they might have waited for my promotion to pay me back.

>>129

Seiryuu Planning provides thorough aftercare as long as you pay, even if it’s just up to the amount paid…

I don’t think Fujimoto-kun has ever clung to me asking for help.

>>130

That’s the premise that first makes my heart flutter♡.

Hmm, but it doesn’t seem like the bald guy is the type to wait for payment out of compassion, so saying “I’ll pay later” probably wouldn’t work.

Evaluating noodles, soup, and ingredients individually may be tasty, but if the three don’t come together, it doesn’t mean anything.

It’s the early version of Fujimoto-kun’s salt ramen, isn’t it?

Can you really do consulting without understanding anything?

It’s nice to see the early depictions of the series being re-evaluated…

“The store could have had the possibility of solving the issue just by having a sense of crisis with the thought ‘it will go out of business within six months,’ which is quite gentle.”

This bald guy has consistently been competent and knows the correct answer…

>>139

What do you think you are, ramen bald!

>>135

It’s not just separate elements; various factors influence each other in the food and beverage industry.

Everything, or rather

It’s something that goes without saying.

I never imagined that not really understanding ramen (being bad) was the reason.

It feels like the outlook is too optimistic given that we haven’t even been open for six months and cannot pay a million.

>>142

I wonder how much the budget is to open a store.

I will probably also receive a loan.

Meeting the needs of the customer base the store is targeting is everything.

For the store, customer preferences are irrelevant.

That’s a character who has a beautiful yet irreconcilable ambivalence, so of course, they’ll endlessly rub the bald head.

In the past storyline, Fujimoto-kun, who pointed out the deep hypocrisy that a securities man would have wanted to hear and even proposed improvements, was too effective against the bald guy.

Even though I understand that the taste is there, watching them struggle like that makes it hard to say, “Wow, the smell of this sweetfish is completely gone in this crowded place!”

>>150

Fujimoto-kun, it’s amazing that you can say it’s delicious but it’s blown away, isn’t it?

Well, at first I was trying to get by without any issues, but…

From the customer’s perspective, saying that this ramen is thin and bad is the same as saying that no customers come.

Ramen 〇〇 Den deviates from the basic structure of existing gourmet manga because of the strong character Serizawa, who has resonated more than originally intended, which evokes a profound depth that relates to both creation and ramen.

If you solve it on your own, it won’t make you money, yet at a stage where you have the luxury, you’re hinting at flaws.

The image in the thread is of a narcissist with a bad personality, which leads to the drawback of being unable to view themselves objectively.

The story was that the ramen was simply just bad.

It’s really disappointing that I haven’t done anything for over a month, even though I was warned.

Baldness is just a brief moment of youth, like the fleeting light of a bubble in a ramen shop.

>>159

My mouth feels just like a bubble.

If the business is running properly, they could pay off the 1 million tax-exempt amount in a week to a month, so why didn’t they pay?

>>160

Isn’t it a bit difficult to wait a month…?

It seems like you need to call at least 100 people a day if you calculate it with GPT.

>>163

1 cup for 1000 yen, 100 cups a day, that’s 3 million yen a month.

Taxes will not be incurred until the red figures disappear, and only expenses will be deducted from here.

Once the business is on the right track, there will be leeway.

“What the hell is Awaguchi?”

I can’t imagine it.

But if I could learn from Lahage, I could definitely get my money’s worth for a million.

Don’t ask GPT about numbers…

The reason that the bald guy was getting along with him is that he’s an editor of an information magazine.

If we become competitors, I won’t be needed anymore, so it’s just a matter of whether I’ll become a customer or not.
