The chain is operated by Toridoll Holdings Corporation based in Kobe.
Toridoll Holdings is no longer based in Kobe. Official Toridoll sources list its headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo.
Full reasoning
This sentence attributes a current Kobe base to Toridoll Holdings Corporation, but Toridoll’s own current materials list its headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo.
A current official Toridoll recruitment page states the company’s head office is "東京都渋谷区道玄坂1-21-1 渋谷ソラスタ19階". Toridoll’s 2026 shareholder meeting materials likewise list the company headquarters as "1-21-1 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo."
So while Toridoll may previously have been headquartered in Kobe, the article’s present-tense statement that the operator is "based in Kobe" is outdated.

Marugame Udon opened a single store in Singapore at Ion Orchard in 2018 before closing in 2023.
The “single store” part is incorrect. Marugame had multiple Singapore outlets, including Raffles City and Bedok Mall, not just ION Orchard.
Full reasoning
This sentence is inaccurate because it says Marugame Udon had only one Singapore store at ION Orchard. Contemporary sources show the chain had additional Singapore outlets.
A 2018 Straits Times PDF explicitly refers to Marugame Udon & Tempura’s "latest outlet at Raffles City" while also discussing the ION Orchard branch, which means there was already more than one outlet. Separately, CapitaLand Mall Trust’s 2019 annual report mentions Bedok Mall shoppers going to "Marugame Udon & Tempura," showing another Singapore branch at Bedok Mall.
So even if the ION Orchard outlet opened in 2018 and later closed, the claim that Singapore had a single store is contradicted by evidence of other outlets in Raffles City and Bedok Mall.
