fast food

A friend who left Japan once said that it was things like going to Yoshinoya that she missed. Yoshinoya is one of the biggest fast food chains and specialises in gyudon- a bowl of rice topped with beef. Yoshinoya restaurants are yet another lesson in space management where customers sit around a pier-like bar where staff can access them from the kitchen. If you go at 12.30 there is often a queue but, like a relay, people are constantly paying the bill while others arrive. Despite being predominantly male the clientele is varied with carpenters alongside accountants. The short, cheap menu means quick turn around and your bill is a plastic tab which cuts out any delay or room for error when you pay. Bish Bash Bosh - back in time for a nap.
