Tha ad with the article says that you get to choose your level of 'anger' topping from Hot Level 1 to Hot Level 5.

They all stop talking and give me a WTF look, and I say, "Burger King ga Osaka ni kurun des ka?" The guy's face changes to a mixture of pride and surprise at being recognized and says "Rai nen, tabun rainen."

Honma!? Sugoi!!

American fast food in a foreign country may be interesting to the natives, but if I saw an American walking into one in Japan I'd make fun of them. "Dude! You flew all the way over here just for a WHOPPER?!"

Nice to see that Burger King hasn't conceded all of Japan to the McDonald's megacorp, though.

Oh they come and go, don't they? Why doesn't the Pepsi conglomerate spin off more of its franchises in Japanese markets? It used to be that KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell were all under the Pepsi umbrella. If KFC and Pepsi are here, there should be more Pizza Huts and Taco Bells, but it never happened. Sure McD's has built the brand, but put KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell under one roof and you might be ahead by giving people some choice.

Instead we all live in a Coke/ McDonald's society with meat and potatoes while the rest of Asia has some choice, with beans and cheese.

Still, it is just junk food. Hard to get worked up over some dessicated cow with liquid smoke poured on it.

That is the TRUTH about Taco Bell. We definitely need it big time. I always try to repicate the real thing with things shipped from the U.S. But it's not the same as the real deal.

Yes! PLEASE bring BK to Osaka! We're starving here. Lotteria sucks big time and you can only go so far with McD's. I'm at least happy that we have COSTCO for great pizza. Pizza-LA sucks! There is NO place for Mayonaise in pizza!

I had a regular Whopper last Friday. Good.

"There is NO place for mayonnaise in pizza"

Two words: ma-yonezu nuki.

The burger isn't all that, they recently opened one down near the Yokosuka Naval Base and it tasted like crap, the prices are extremely high for a meal, having it your way pretty much means nothing to them. I asked for bbq sauce and was told it was only for the buger. What if i want bbq sauce with my FF's?! Pissed me off......either way, its alright...not too much to talk about....also going to put this out there, don't see BK lasting very long for the second go around.

Haha. Guy next door you make me laugh. I have had fun with burger joints in my day. I remember wowing the natives when I asked for a burger with no pickles in McDonalds. Five Japanese young women (don't ask) bet me I could not do it, and I did it, and I was a hero. Go figure. Nobody they knew had EVER asked for anything more...I was Oliver Twist in an orphanage of babes. I had opened wide vistas for them.

Two years later, I walked into a MosBurger and tried to get.. what was it? I think I wanted one item with an extra sauce packet... and they said no. I would have to buy two items. I asked to talk to the manager. He also said no, and I went postal, cancelled my order, and walked out. I figured if I was not worth the two or three yen of extra cost, then they could eat it. Oliver Twist meets Ebenezer Scrooge. Over the years, they have lost probably 140,000 yen of my business just on the basis of that incident... haha probably much more. I like their creativity, but they are not too customer friendly. It is not a matter of abuse, but you cannot reward bad decisions, I figure.

Comments like this always crack me up. I think that you will find a great many non-Japanese people eating Japanese and non-Japanese food. Just as if you were in NY and you would see Japanese people eating Japanese and non-Japanese food. I say, live and live or dine and let dine.

Yes, the U.S. version wasn't all that angry. More like a "Mildly Annoyed Whopper".

"Mildy Annoyed Whopper"

I guess you didn't pay the extra 30 yen or so for the #5 ( on a scale of 1-5 ) hot sauce.

Klein2 - I once asked for a Quarter Pounder with a couple of extra pickles instead of the cheese that comes with it. They said I could get it without the cheese, but I couldn't get any extra pickle slices. I said, "You mean I have to pay the same price for the Quarter Pounder without the cheese, and I can't get a couple of extra pickle slices?" They said "So desu." I said "Zannen," and walked out.
