Why does USA fail where Japan succeeds

[Anonymous No.20063408]

Japanese "Fast Food"
>Beef bowl is about $3.50
>generous portions, eating two could feed a fat American
>Free rice, free tea
>Spend an extra $2 and you can get Miso Soup, tofu, eggs, basically doubling your caloric intake
>Actual meat and food, not the best quality, but way better than McDonalds or other US fast-food chains
>Total meal costs is about half of the minimum wage, could keep you full all day
>Very satisfying

American Fast Food
>McDonalds staple burger, the bigmac, costs about $7
>Will keep you not hungry for 2-4 hours, depending on work, pretty shitty size given cost. Fat american could eat 4-5 easy.
>Charged extra for literally anything, lettuce, sauce, pickles, salt, etc.
>Spend an extra $5 for a meal combo which is just a drink and fries, which don't add much in terms of filling or quality
>fake thin meat that's oversalted, tricking you into ordering more soda so you spend more money.
>Total meal costs the hourly minimum wage and will keep you full for 1/4th the day, will have to go back later after work
>Not at all satisfying

American "Actual meals"
>Family restaraunt costs about $15-$20 at cheapest
>Portions are tolerable, about the same as the Japanese fast food
>Maybe get free bread and butter, like a peasant. Unsanitary since if you dont eat it, it just goes to the next table
>Spend an extra $10 for appetizers like fried cheese sticks, or chips with meat and cheese
>Actual meat, same quality as Japanese fast food, but dry as fuck and overcooked.
>Total meal is about 1.0x to 3.5x minimum wage, keeps you full for a whole work day at least
>Satisfying until you remember the cost.
>Expected to tip afterwards to kids or losers who can't get work anywhere else

How the fuck can America, a world financial super power, not mimic Japan. Japanese "quick meals" are of equal percentage to fast food, but more filling and satisfying. They cater to the working adult's needs and time crunch without conning you or killing you.

I'm basing it with my general first hand experience. Japanese food is like... $10 to feed a fat American. Compared to the Japanese minimum wage of $8 to feed their smaller better proportioned stomachs, that's huge.

Every little rinky dink place I've been to Japan blew it out of the water. I was expecting something shitty in quality, but somehow it's all at least half-decent? Like beef bowls aren't dry as fuck and are juicy and aren't so salty that I feel I need to chug a soda?

Sure, might be skewed, been dealing with american bullshit for 20+ years and only being in Japan for maybe 3ish months means I have less time to compare and see the dirty underbelly, but sometimes you just see shit and need to wonder what the fuck is happening.

The real issue here, along with a dumber lazier workforce, is that Japan has very relaxed zoning laws, so real estate is cheap and plentiful.

Factors include
Japan has a stable economy that isn't experiencing massive unchecked inflation
Restaurants in Japan have smaller menus serving specific items
Automation of the work force and ordering process keeps costs down
A matsuya location with a full dining room can be operated by one employee in the kitchen because the customer orders at a kiosk, picks up their own food at the window, self serves their drinks, and cleans up their own table

The heated food is actually decent if you can get it fresh. Or at least it was. Nowadays all the state-side 7-11s are run by Indians who don't give a shit.
Our daily prepared food can't compare, but that's mostly a logistics problem. Japan is small, compact, and thrives on public transit commutes. Their convenience stores are actually convenient.

Doesn't Japan have a licensing mechanism for chefs? I don't think it's required to be license to work as a chef, but nobody is going to want to really hire someone who isn't certified by the government. Even home cooks are encouraged to get certified.
