Takuya Kimura Shakes Hand Of Ramen Chef Who Was Embarrased About His “Dirty” Hands

Just as we thought the world could not fall more in love with Japanese pop culture icon Takuya Kimura. 

The 49-year-old superstar recently posted a vlog on YouTube about his visit to a lekei ramen eatery. 

One particular moment stood out from the rest. 

The owner of the eatery revealed that he had turned down other offers to appear on programs, but agreed to let Takuya film him as he had always been a fan. 

When Takuya went around shaking hands with all the chefs there, one chef said to him: "Oh no, my hands are a little dirty right now."

Takuya responded with 'no', before grabbing the chef's hand to show the camera the blisters he has from working with scalding hot soup for long hours. 

"Everyone, I want you to see that [the food we had] is because of this pair of hands. It's really all thanks to these hands."

He then shook the chef's hand before bowing politely. 

His respectful gesture has earned him praise. 

One netizen also joked: "Doesn't matter how 'dirty' the chef's hands are, he's never going to wash them now!"
