    We just went to Aomori in June and had our lunch at the Art Hotel. Food was fantastic. A factory is a great place to explore. Too bad that we did not have much time.

    You guys still have Coco's? The Coco's in the US was ruined by some guy who bought the chain for his cheapskate son and brought the whole chain down. In the US, Big Boy is known as Bob's Big Boy and the one closest to me closed down, I don't think the chain is doing too well either.

    The Denny's restaurants in Japan operate independently from the U.S. corporation. Since 1984, the "Denny's" name has been utilized according to a licensing agreement, but the Japanese company is a separate entity. The U.S. company does not have input on how the Japanese restaurants are managed or what menu items are offered. Essentially, the only things they have in common are the name and logo.

    Of these US restaurants, Denny’s is still open across the country; Big Boy has many locations in Michigan, a few in California; Coco’s closed in the USA in 2015. One thing I know, the next time I make hamburger steak, I’m going to be sure I have plenty of grated daikon & dipping sauce to go with!

    I've been to the Denny's in Funabori, but they didn't have a robot. Or maybe the robot was off that night. It was really good, and better than the Denny's near me in the DC Metro area. As for Big Boy, I haven't seen those since I was a young boy! I'm surprised Royal Host wasn't in this video, since it seems like all of the other Japanese youtubers I follow, who do some food content, always mention how great that place is. Maybe next time.

    @@flibblesan No grand slam at the Akihabara location in the Washington Hotel in 2018. While they did have fried eggs on the menu, I didn't want the type of sausage on offer. No pancakes except as an extra. The picture was helpful as they probably wouldn't have met my expectations especially the type of table syrup. I ended up with an egg salad sandwich, small salad and green tea (that I actually wanted). Although the food is different, I'd rate the overall experience of that place and the U.S. as similar.

    Historically, Japan's government has heavily subsidized the costs of food and beverage production to maintain lower consumer pricing. In addition, the typical monthly salary in Japan is 15-20% less than the equivalent salary in the U.S, and consumer prices are structured to reflect that. Also, tipping is not typically required at restaurants in Japan.
