Translation: It will be sinful to punch a monk. But the noodles were delicious.
Finally, someone expressed that punching a monk wouldn’t be a good thing and confirmed the deliciousness of their signature noodles.
Hope nobody punches a monk if they aren’t happy with the noodles
We think a slogan is always an important part of advertising a product or attracting customers. That said, some might consider this slogan to be improper as it suggests violence towards a monk who is deemed to be a respected figure, even though the idea was suggested by a monk himself.
In any case, we’re glad that the noodle stall has gained a lot of customers after coming up with a successful catchphrase to generate publicity. Finally, we hope no one really punches a monk even if they are unhappy with their noodles.
