Question

I understand Japanese fast food tastes great. Is this true?

Answer 1

Fast food in Japan is mainly Yakitori (meats and veg. marinated, skewered and grilled) tempura (seafood and veg. deepfried in a light crisp batter) and ramen noodle shops.  Taste is a subjective thing; it all depends on your personal likes and dislikes.  What I love,you may not, but in my opinion it's all really delicious.  And by the way, I'm not a sushi fan, but by the same token, sushi is not considered a fast food in any way, shape or form because over there it isn't premade, shrinkwrapped and sold at the local deli. It's prepared by a highly skilled, codified chef and is a painstaking and time consuming and beautiful process.

Answer 2

Fast food in the sense of burgers? Then I recommend Mos Burger. Most recently, there is a new joint called Freshness.

But fast food in the sense of local flair, there are tons. Yakitori, takoyaki, katsu, oden, etc. The list goes on and on...

Answer 3

Depends on the food and your taste.  There is a lot more Japanese food out there than sushi which a lot of people don't seem to realize.  Personally the very smell of sushi makes me sick but there are a lot of good chicken dishes that are good.

Answer 4

Some of it is but sushi is very overrated in my opinion.

Answer 5

It's really an individual thing. Some people claim Japanese McDonald's burger patties use a fatter meat so it tastes better. Some argue that MOS burger makes a tastier burger. When I was a kid and ate fast food, I hated MOS burger but my mother loved it. I don't eat that stuff anymore. There's many Western chains in Japan. Another fast food type is street or carnival fare such as ramen (pork broth noodles), yakitori (chicken on a stick), okonomiyaki (potato pancake thing with meat/veggies), etc.

Answer 6

I love sushi! That's definitly fast food. I escpecially love eel sushi, have you tried it before? It's sweet savory and almost like grownup candy. Its soo so good.
