Am I the only one here for who the idea of consuming jewelry conjures up the image of sifting through turds to find it when it comes out the other end?

I wasn't interested in trying these specialty burgers out but you've convinced me.

McDonald's new 1000 yen burger in reality doesn't look quite as advertised

If we wuz on JT forums we'd already have 20 wapanese idiots claiming lotteria is superior quickly silenced by even more idiots claiming mosburger is better...


I noticed that i'm typing worse and worse with a fuzzy brain and wakeup with a sandpaper mouth like if i went to bed shitfaced drunk every other day. The only thing varying is McDo diet instead of vegetables (ok, pizza, still count as vegetabuls) the day before... I think i'm starting to fall appart...

[Samurai_Jerk]

I was at McDonald's yesterday and noticed that the sign for the upcoming Quarter Pounder Jewelry Burgers had a sticker slapped on it that said 予約受付中.


Coligny, that means "now taking reservations".

I luv' youz man...

That doesn't sound much like fast food to me.

J-Burger w/ yellow STD Sauce pretending to be cheese...

kotaku.com/5948511/these-burger-arent-just-huge-they-have-puns
...The name of the cheeseburger is actually "Super Cheese Day" (スーパー・チーズデー), which sounds like "Super Tuesday" (スーパー・チューズデー) in Japanese. The burger will be offered on October 16 and 23 only. Those days are, you guessed it, Tuesdays!
...the Super Cheese Day is between three to five stacked cheeseburger patties. You, the customer, can pick how many patties, and it doesn't change the ¥500 price tag. That many burgers would typically cost between ¥860～¥1,360.P
The other burger, the fried shrimp one, is called Super Fryday (スーパー・フライデー), which is a pun on "Super Friday" (スーパー・フライデー). Same dealio ...more...

I can't believe I forgot to post it here at the time, but last month, Lotteria was featuring a tsukemen burger. I think it's long gone from the menu, but at least you can see a video review of it here:

Speaking of burgers, it's the BK 30 min Whopper tabehodai again this week. A friend of mine challenged me but I couldn't match, let alone beat his 5.



Oh yeah, and Carl's Jr is coming (back apparently) to Japan.

McDonald’s Japan Bans Smoking in Its Restaurants

The evolution of McDonald’s Japan into a health-conscious restaurant doesn’t stop with last month’s introduction of tofu nuggets. Now the burger chain has prohibited smoking in all of its outlets in the country.

“Our customers range from young children to elderly people. We aspire to create an environment where all of our customers can enjoy their meals,” a spokeswoman for the chain, formally known as McDonald’s Holdings Co. (Japan) Ltd., said Monday.

The company said its transition into a smoke-free chain had been in the works for years but was completed on Aug. 1.

[yanpa]

Progress.

[Samurai_Jerk]

Progress.

Yeah, god forbid McDonald's provide an unhealthy environment.

[wuchan]

I have noticed the no smoking thing at a few other chains. We went to one of the skylark ones on Sunday and it was all non smoking, we were kind of surprised. Is this some kind of rule change for the olympics?

[yanpa]

AFAIK there's no particular legal or regulatory action behind this, but I do get the impression the demographics are shifting away from smokers - and I suspect larger companies are doing the sums and realising it's costing them more than it's worth to provide separate smoking sections.

[matsuki]

This is awesome, not that I visit McDee's all that often but...

On the other hand, went to a fucking expensive ass "beer festa" buffet in probably the only ballin hotel in Niigata-shi the other day. Was awesome til the jiji a the table next to us finished his meal and decided to fumigate the area. Couldn't believe they allowed smoking in there...such a nice and clean area...only to choke on some asshole's second hand smoke as we're trying to enjoy some rather awesome eats, WTF?!! After his 3rd cigarette, we finally got moved across the massive room to where nobody was lit up

Some of the more interesting information to come out of the "Chicken from Shanghai factories may not have as accurate a processing date as you would hope for" scandal, is McDonalds publicising the source and place of processing of each item on their menu. http://www.mcdonalds.co.jp/safety/quali ... n_list.pdf For example, I am surprised that they import the potatoes fully processed from the US.

[matsuki]

I am surprised that they import the potatoes fully processed from the US.

Keep in mind they don't have tomatoes due to the local pricing, not too hard to imagine it's cheaper than whatever the potatoes go for here...and then there's the processing

Yep, Japan's smoking rate has dropped to a record low this year.

It's now below 20%.

I noticed that it is becoming rarer in restaurants to see smokers. If only it could be outlawed officially.

But maybe we have to wait until it is under 10%.

Edit: Here is a site to search for non-smoking restaurants all over Japan, and this site site gives only the non-smoking hubs in Tokyo, but it is in English.
