In Japan, this is not where we are going to guide you or talk about McDonald’s, “Japanese” style fast food, even though you can find literally at any train station in Tokyo.
Instead, have you ever check out these 9 fast food chain?
MOS Burger – Japan burger guide in Tokyo
In Tokyo or anywhere around Japan, you can find at least a MOS burger at any major station. Like McDonald’s, they are selling burgers, all with a smaller size compared to the US. However, MOS Burger in Japan has a totally different taste as it was made for local, a little softer.
Japan’s Ichiran Ramen – Most popular Ramen in Tokyo
Now we are talking about noodles. Ichiran ramen is a chain store that very famous among tourists. Why should one go to a chain store while traveling? Well, Ichiran is famous for its tonkotsu ramen or pork bone base ramen, with a 1 person private booth eating style.
Yoshinoya – not mom cook, but a gyudon (beef rice bowl) that you enjoy.
In fact that Japanese salarymen or women are way too busy with their work, healthy lunch can only be done in half an hour. And there we go, a great meal with minimal preparation time. Do you know that they first opened in 1899, which is 100 years ago?
Coco Ichibanya – Coco curry, not indian curry
A big difference of Japanese style curry is that it is not spicy and not heavily spice, compare to Indian, Nepal, or Bangladesh curry. Top chosen menu including, tonkatsu curry rice (pork cutlet).
Matsuya – another beef bowl chain
Compare to Yoshinoya, Matsuya prefer to call their bowl gyumeshi. With different style of cooking, you might need to choose what tatse best for you.
Freshness Burger – yes, it’s a burger chain, a little more expensive.
Opened in 1992, not a leader in burger industry, but they do offer meatless, and avocado burger for vegestarian. Which is a huge bonus, as most Japanese meal, are a combination of meat, fish and vegestable.
Sukiya – the third charm of beef bowl chain.
Claims to be the top, but they have a smaller menus compare to 2 others. Maybe people only like beef bowl? Or just because they are the only one offer cheese beef bowl?
Sushiro – Cheap kaitenzushi
Start from 100 yen (+ tax) per plate, one can simply full after 8 dishes. Take your meal from the touch screen menu or the bell convoy running in front of your table.
