I'm not going to lie here: I LOVE having familiar fast food restaurants around here. Japanese people have an odd love for American fast food. As a result, I have a whole bunch of familiar chain restaurants around me. It's actually really comforting to know that when all else fails, I can walk to the McDonald's or go down to the Starbucks where they treat me like a celebrity (true story). They just love a good hamburger here really. Some restaurants by me include: McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Denny's, Starbucks, Tully's Coffee, and even an Outback Steakhouse.

Of course, each of these offers unique items as well as the staples that we are used. This is what makes it so fun! Almost all of these restaurants have some kind of teriyaki burger or wasabi spiced burger or KFC even has soy sauce chicken (which is way gross in my opinion. Too much salt for me to handle). There are also some Japanese burger chains that are equally amazing such as Mos Burger and Freshness Burger. My personal favorite places to visit are Burger King and Freshness Burger. I love the hot chicken sandwich here. They taste like some one put some Asian Zing sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings on it. YUM! I go to Freshness Burger for some of the "stranger" items like a teriyaki chicken burger or the crab burger. Another thing I appreciate here is that no matter where you go, they bring you your fries or onion rings fresh. Yes, you have to wait a couple of minutes but it is well worth the taste boost. I truthfully end up eating this kind of fast food about once a week when I just need a taste food. It's at least a small culinary cure for homesickness.
