All the surplus American people in Japan are employed being the “American guy” in the office who is kept on to tell the boss his idea is stupid because he’s just a clueless gaijin who doesn’t know that you don’t do that.
Not what the meme implies but yes. I went to a place in Akihabara that was mostly just one dude at a counter grilling and smoking food. He didn't speak English so the nice Singaporean gentleman next to me was translating for us. It was a great meal
The tiny hole in the wall places that Japan's zoning laws permit are soooo cool. Like 4 chairs in the whole place and 2 are reserved for regulars. They're like studio apartments, but it's a restaurant.
