Japan lost the Pacific War by an overwhelming margin of strength, but there is still a great disparity in hamburgers as well.
Yet, the sheepish Japanese do not complain and eat meekly today.
But most Japanese must have some idea of what is going on.
Why are the patties so thin?
In fact, the weight of one patty at a major chain restaurant is 30 or so grams.
The weight of an American hamburger patty is 100 to 200 grams or more.
What a difference! Can a Japanese hamburger be called a hamburger?
It is no different from the situation in the Pacific War.
The "Big Mac" has a grand name, but it is only two patties weighing only 60-odd grams.
The "Double Thick Beef" also has an exaggerated name, but it weighs only 50-odd grams.
So, even if you pay the extra money to buy a burger with more meat in Japan, it will only be about half of an American patty.
I heard that they also sell three or four layers of patties, but are they three or four times better?
No matter how many thin patties you put on top of each other, they are no match for American patties.
American patties are like one big hamburger steak.
And in Japan, they put it between squishy buns, so I don't feel like eating it.
I'm not trying to sabotage Mac's business. In Japan, the rest of the world is just like that.
Besides, I eat McDonald's cheeseburgers from time to time.
It's thin, so I don't overindulge, and it's just right for snacking.
Yes, not many Japanese eat it for lunch or dinner, do they?
They still think of it as a snack and don't see it as a proper meal.
Certainly, the lettuce is not enough for vegetables.
They say that no matter how much you like it, if you eat junk food like this for days on end, you are bound to get sick, whether you are Japanese or a gaijin. Your life is in danger.
It might be better for your health if the volume of the food is not enough.
You are right, Japanese hamburger with flimsy patties!
