Especially in Hiroshima City there are lots of small-scale shops because they were supported by these sauce companies to open the shops after the war and thus 'housewives in the neighborhood' could open the shops at a low price as a kind of part-time job after refurbishing some parts of their houses.
特に広島市内には多くの小規模な店舗があるが、これは戦後これらのソース会社がそれぞれのお好み焼き店の開業の支援をしてきたからで、「近所の主婦」が内職の感覚で自宅の一部を改装して安価で店を開くことが出来たのである。
