To all my American friends:
You guys are actually terrifying 😂🇺🇸
CoCo Ichibanya has over 1,500 stores across Japan.
Japan’s total population is 120 million. Tokyo alone has 14 million people.
Yet the #1 highest-grossing CoCo Ichibanya store in the entire country is in Okinawa — a prefecture with only 1.46 million people.
Why?
Because American service members stationed there regularly order multiple full plates per person like it’s nothing.
One American = multiple Japanese portions.
We always knew you guys had big appetites… but damn, you’re single-handedly making a small island the curry capital of Japan.
Respect.
And please keep eating. We’re impressed (and a little scared).

Forget sushi. Forget ramen.
The food foreigners can't stop eating in Japan is fried chicken from a convenience store.
It's called Famichiki.
$1.60. Boneless. Handed to you at the FamilyMart register in a yellow and white striped paper bag.
Released in 2006. 2.5 billion sold. #1 selling item across ~16,400 FamilyMart stores.
Not just hot snacks. Across every product they sell.
This is the one.

Dear American friends, if you ever come to Japan, try McDonald's in Japan. I recommend the Samurai Mac. A single burger is 590 yen, about 3.70 dollars. What do you think? Impressed?
