Everywhere you go in Asia, you can buy "western" fast food such as Burger King, Wendy's and McDonald's. The Japanese though have their own form of fast food. I went to, arguably, the largest Japanese "fast fod" chain yesterday. Yoshinoya serves a few dishes. They are fast, the food is cheap and not always so good. Popular mostly amongst men, Yoshinoyas are everywhere in Japan.

I love Yoshinoya, I was practically raised there.

[Lalairu]

their fast food looks more healthy and tasty than a hamburger from McDonalds orBurger King lol

@bobtheduck Along those lines, INSTANT ramen may have been invented in Japan, but Korea put its signature on it, to the point where I wouldn't even eat Japanese instant ramen anymore because Korea just does it so much better.

Yoshinoya isn't the best Beef Bowl place, it's just the most well known. I can't think of the chain we go to, but it's cheaper and more options. It's one of those vending machine ticket places. In any case, if you want Japanese fast food, there's also Hotto Motto. The cheapest fast food meals you can find in Japan are small beef bowls at various Gyuudon places and nori bento from Hotto Motto. Also, Ramen may be from China, but Japan put its signature on it, just like the US did with Pizza.

i guess i would be the exception because i am a woman and that looks absolutely yummy to me.

@pansyed

also, Yoshinoya IS Japanese food.

what isn't Japanese, however, is ramen. Ramen is Chinese, and that's what ramen is: noodles in broth.

@sueipas

yeah, he corrected himself in an annotation.

he just made a mistake in speaking.

we all know that "gyuu" means "beef" and "don" means "dish" or "bowl".

:)

[sueipas]

Seemingly this poor guy couldn't distinguish beef  from pork. What the hell poor tongue he has. Gyu-Don is meant to be a beef bowl that is commonsense even in USA.

FACE TOO MUCH

[bayudetruth]

ahhh you make me hungry

[pansyed]

wtf i think yoshinoya isnt even japanese food. I tried their ramen once. it was like spagetti noodles in chicken soup. but it was cheap, lol.
