The burgers are okay nothing to write home to mom about , but adding foie gras to a burger? To me that like serving a exquisite cake made with the finest of Belgian chocolates, only to sprinkle it with alfalfa sprouts and pass it off as something edible.
There is a strong demand, and this food seems to suit the Japanese taste, especially youngsters. They can choose to eat the old style Japanese food but let's face it Japanese polished white rice based food aint much better or western fast food. Capitalism and free choice at their best. Personally, I can't stand hamburgers of any kind!
Let me say I'm glad that we have a fast food burger option here in Machida now, with Burger King recently opened. Flame-broiled and you can certainly tell--yummy! Of course there are Mos Burger and Freshness Burger, but ewwww, they just can't compare.
Anyhow, I am glad that Wendy's is stepping back into the burger game and any kind of competition is healthy, even if burgers are not. Though, I would argue that any day, especially after a 70km bike ride to Yokohama Bay and back! Wendy's is great, I prefer that fast food over McDonalds.

Wish em the best! I miss some of the sides items. Not Wendy's but in general. Some good mash potatos and brown gravy, Macaroni and cheese, and etc I got food poisoning from a Wendy's baked potato in Takadanobaba years backs, and a friend of mine had the same experience. Never really liked the place: expensive, slow, so-so. Hope the new one is better. Yes, the Japanese people in general demonstrate a lot of resilience in the face of adversity.
To say that this "spirit" will be the primary factor behind an economic resurgence is not realistic, though. Much has changed since Japan boomed economically for a few decades, and much has been done wrong by political and business leaders over the past couple decades to exacerbate the problems, with no end in sight.
