We already knew that Japan had more McDonald's restaurants than any European country (per capita or total number). We already knew that Japan was also a big fan of KFC, Subway, Mister Donuts, Denny's, Jonathan's and other American fastfood chains. They also made their own McDonald copies like Mos Burger and Freshness Burger. Japan is also the land of 24h convenience stores, fastfood bento (e.g. Origin Bento, Hokka Hokka Tei...) and fastfood almost everything (Yoshinoya, Matsuya, Tenya...).

Confident that Japan is a dream market for fastfood, Burger King, which had left Japan 5 years ago is poised to come back, with a vengeance, and with the cooperation of two Japanese companies, Lotte and Revamp.
