Hayashin, Grill restaurant in Japan Osaka, has created controversy by disabling Chinese customers. The announcement of his door, written in Chinese, says the Chinese are “rude” and are not welcome.
The reason for the ban is unclear, but this is not the first time that the Japanese enterprise has shown such discrimination against Chinese customers.
One Chinese reservation agent in Japan had previously shared their fighting online. According to them, many Chinese tourists cancel reservations without informing.
One group did not appear to book 11 people despite many AE -Mail calls. The restaurant even checked if the group had encountered an accident. This incident led the agent to say that it was not surprising that some Japanese restaurants would avoid Chinese tourists.
Many Chinese users also criticize such careless behavior and say that people who do not respect the rules will not be welcome anywhere in the world.
In 2023, the Chinese influence saw the Tokyo restaurant prohibiting Chinese with a note accusing the “Chinese virus”. The brand was in Chinese, Korean and Japanese. When the influencer entered to challenge the staff, they fired it.
Another restaurant in Tokyo was also banned by Chinese and South Korean.
Southern China Morning has shared several angry Chinese reactions.
One Chinese user reacted: “It is cheap to attract customers under the patriotism.”
“A restaurant that publishes such a comment has even worse ways than coarse customers,” one user wrote.
But not everyone considered it offensive. One user responded that Chinese customers should complain about their colleagues who behaved badly.
Banning Chinese and Korean customers
In 2024, the Italian restaurant in Tokyo faced severe criticism for publishing a sign that banned Chinese and Korean customers. The owner shared a photo of the brand online and said they wanted to avoid “negative thoughts”.
Many Japanese users called it racist and compared it with the last discrimination of the Japanese in the US. Outside Japon, users called this movement openly racist and warned others to avoid this place.
On the other hand, some supported the owners. They shared stories about alleged harassment of Korean tourists.
