At Jensen Huang’s favorite Japan pub, it’s not last call yet
Huang's fans have flocked to Yakiton Sankichi, which is now apologizing to customers for slow service due to an explosion in popularity.
When Nvidia founder Jensen Huang visited Tokyo last month, he found himself drawn to an unexpected destination: Yakiton Sankichi, a local izakaya or Japanese pub. This unassuming establishment is known for being a favorite of Huang's in other cities like Seoul and Taipei, where he reportedly spent a substantial ¥300,000 on food and drinks while meeting with key chip suppliers.
The surge in Huang's customers has led to a surge in popularity of Yakiton Sankichi, causing the pub to apologize for slower-than-usual service. But could this golden touch of Huang's extend beyond individual izakayas and benefit the entire izakaya industry? With your current subscription plan, you are unable to comment on this story.
