The story
A one-line thread titled “Can I have a little more to drink?” that popped up on 5ch’s Nnews VIP board kept spiraling outward — from bragging about drinking snacks to showing off kitchen gadgets, and even to live commentary on a browser game. Talk drifted from food like seared bonito (katsuo tataki), cheese, and a supermarket chain’s absurdly cheap giant apple pie, to vacuum-seal storage bags and how to use a hot sandwich maker, and even off into a game called “Moji Blade” where players battle with spinning-top letters. There was no real conclusion or debate — just everyone posting whatever they liked in a loose, rambling thread typical of the evening drinking hours.

You're forgiven
Re: #7
Shut up already!
Hamada Masatoshi's Big Compliance Fact-Check (just kidding)
It's the season for delicious seared bonito
Whoa, that looks delicious
Can't wait, nice!
Re: #22
That's some beautiful tataki!
Even brought out mayonnaise — who do you think you are, Yamaoka? (foodie character from the manga Oishinbo)
The leftover Parmesan has entered the fight!
My posting restriction still hasn't lifted (a 5ch rate-limit on frequent posters)
What a pain!!
Eat up, eat up!
Cheeeeese! You eat seared bonito with cheese on it?
It's just a regular supermarket
Just thought it looked kind of familiar
Someone out there might actually go check it out! lol
This chain's ridiculously huge 500-yen apple pie is amazing
I want to eat that!
As a half-price hunter, I buy it the second it's marked down 50%
I just nibble on it as a little break between bites!
So happy I can stock up on tons of cheese now
Ohh, a palate break, huh! Cheeeeese is so good, right!
So you can stock up on a lot of it now
Ta-da! Vacuum-seal storage bags~!
Oooh, these exist?! Amazing!!!
The seared bonito I posted earlier was also bought there!
The branch near me sells raw eel already filleted
This chain, which has a tie-up with the home center Kohnan lol, is aggressively expanding into Kanto and Kansai!!
There's none near me, so I'm jealous!
Re: #53
You're a regular detective!
I'm in Aichi, but I go to Gifu sometimes too
Since I own this, as a drinker I really want to try buying raw eel and grilling it plain (shirayaki-style) to drink with, at least once!!
Looks like you could have fun with all kinds of things!
The bottom part is noisy
Guess eel works too
Plenty of people use this for yakiniku too!
Honestly I've only used it a few times lol
Re: #70
Is it really that loud?
(That wasn't even a pun…)
If it can be grilled, pretty much anything's fine!
Re: #75
Since you've got it, use it a lot!
Re: #77
Didn't he say "Fuguta-kun"? (a nod to a familiar catchphrase)
A proper young lady wouldn't worry about stuff like that
Isn't wiping off the grease Sebastian's job? Dunno though
For grilling meat, there's also something like this!
Once it gets colder I'll enjoy standing in the kitchen eating yakiniku rice bowls ^q^
You've got that nicely broken in!
Honestly it's tasty even without cooking it!
I sometimes do it with meat sauce too!
Re: #116
Won with fire! lol

Let's settle this!!
First thing you do is test it out, right
This one was strong
This might be a pretty terrible game lol
You already know it's a terrible game going in, that's the whole point
Switching to the POP font boosts your power
I lost…
You're number one
Background and Key Points of This Topic
The supermarket chain that came up repeatedly in the thread is a home-center-and-grocery chain centered on the Chubu region that has partnered with the home center Kohnan to expand into Kanto and Kansai. Locally it’s known for its well-stocked fresh fish counters and prepared foods, but in some areas it’s not well known, and several posts in the thread asked what kind of store it even was. The “Moji Blade” game that came up later is a one-off joke-style browser minigame posted on an indie game site, where letters of text battle each other like spinning tops (beigoma). There’s no single consistent point of debate running through the thread — it’s a textbook example of a late-night VIP chat thread, drifting loosely from topic to topic as people post photos of their drinking snacks and kitchen gadgets.
