The flash point is not just the temperature at which the material ignites, but rather the point at which it gives off enough vapor to be ignited. In other words, the kerosene itself has to be at a temperature of >38°C in order to ignite, much higher than it would be at a typical ambient...
I would call that a simple mistake, yes, wherein someone who is unfamiliar with one country or the other could get easily confuse the two. Same with Austria and Australia, or Iraq and Iran.
The shop featured in this chapter is the GENEI.WAGAN in Shibuya.
The original Men Gekijou Genei flagship store in Fukuoka, briefly mentioned after the end of the chapter and in the liner notes, closed its doors late last year (December 28, 2025), but you can still visit the Shibuya location...

I also think the Tenhou location...
Super cool lore at the end, of course it makes sense that a white-collar criminal mastermind like Katsuragi wouldn't normally have scars like that unless they had been given to him by a former victim...

You know, it's easy to forget this given the timeless character of food and cooking, but Bambino began serialization in 2004, and the story takes place over maybe a couple of years... YouTube was just getting started up, and the Tasting History channel wouldn't have been around for more than...
