Dialogue

Log: I heard the news that Chidoriya Honke is entering bankruptcy proceedings. They have debts of 2.2 billion yen.
Chako: Wow! They have that much debt? And they’re a candy store!
Log: Yeah, it seems that support from relatives didn’t go well due to rights issues.
Navi: Since Chidoriya Honke is the company that produces the well-known “Chidori Manju,” their collapse could impact the local economy.
Chako: I see! I used to love Chidori Manju…!
Log: I hear their stores are still operating, but I’m worried about what will happen next.

Admin’s Note

The Chidori Manju is a beloved treat for many, so the bankruptcy of Chidoriya Honke is very disappointing. This will likely have an impact on the local economy and employment as well. It seems there are various legal issues that contributed to the unsuccessful support from family members, and a response going forward is needed. While it’s somewhat reassuring that the store is still operating, as consumers, we want to keep a close eye on future developments.
