Hi Joshua! I just found your channel , I am nissei born and living in Brazil . I really love Staba in Japan, it was such a fantastic experience ❣️ My dad lives in Japan and he took me to a beautiful one in Iwata city - Shizuoka
I liked this video a lot ❤ you are so right, I visited The Starbucks Roastery in Tokyo in 2019 it was amaze-balls 😂 there is a difference. What a great interview with the Barista and I could practice my Japanese listening skills in this video too.
The Japanese historically run restaurant franchises very well. International fast-food franchises run by the Japanese always end up near the top worldwide in various consumer surveys when it comes to things like quality control and detail. A lot of it is cultural and a lot of it is because they have to compete with a domestic food culture that is also top-of-the-line quality from an international perspective. I will always stan for the US (my home country) on multiple levels, but as far as the culinary world is concerned, I make a strong exception because don't think that there's any place quite like Japan.
In Portugal, and other latin countries where coffee is really important, Starbucks is seen like a thing for tourists or kids. What you show from Japan is amazing, i totally want to go there. Maybe not for the cofee tough XD. Bravo for Yusuke, it's must be really hard to adapt and evolve in a such different environnement, is he thinking about taking it to another level and, let's say, work in a pub ?
Thank you both for the fascinating interview. I would love to experience Japanese Starbucks someday! The US Starbucks is very casual and the customer service differs between stores and who is working the shift. Some better than others in my experience.
The worst Starbucks ever is in South Korea. I bought a coffee with a paper cup thinking I could drink my coffee and eat my food but then take it with me when I wanted to go. Nope. The shop girl came over to me and informed me that I had to leave the store immediately because I had a “to go” cup. I’ll probably never forget that experience.
I, despite all the rules, loved the Japanese, I guess it is a mix of knowing what to expect along with the aggravation of getting exactly what you were expecting, always. Whereas in UK it was never knowing what to expect , (an it was sometimes humorously bizarre) while at the same time getting some annoyingly lowbrow versions of British personalities. I still loved it there too.
Yes! Independent cafes in London are so great!! I go to one every single day 😂😂 But yes, Starbucks in Japan is just something you’d never get anywhere else.
Japanese Starbucks is so much better. The quality is better. The matcha is better. The matcha lattes in the US are sad compared to the Japanese matcha lattes. They have better desserts and they have things like Affagatto and US Starbucks doesn't have this.
I presume Starbucks staff in the UK might seem less customer service focused because most of today's UK customers are rude and entitled, they are not paid enough for all that aggravation, and the UK generally isn't as respectful towards others as Japan
You made a typo, but yes, many Starbucks employees do indeed act "entitled", although since I'm not an asshole who is unfit for society, I wouldn't ever use a word like that obviously.
@@Rayvn7 Not sure if you are replying to me and what typo I've made, but I was saying most of UK customers are entitled (and I'm talking about customers in general, not even specific Starbucks customers), not Starbucks staff
めっちゃ面白かった！

Glad you enjoyed it!

This just makes me want to visit a Starbucks in Japan. In the UK I tend to prefer more independent coffee shops of which there are loads in London.
Yes! Independent cafes in London are so great!! I go to one every single day 😂😂 But yes, Starbucks in Japan is just something you’d never get anywhere else.
@@joshuasjapanchannel Very lucky. I’ll next be in London in March for a big conference. Can’t wait to go to some of my favourite food places.
@@Hyper05 don’t hesitate to hit me up!
@@joshuasjapanchannel wow that would be epic. I’ll drop you a message. Perhaps your favourite Japanese cuisine in London and a Coffee ofc.
Yusuke has a good ethic that I hope England won't taint.

i love those egg sandwiches with lettuce they have at Japan starbucks not sure what they are called

That’s a very good point!
