You guys might be wondering, why is the name of Wendy's in Japan having a "First Kitchen" underneath it or even hearing Japanese people calling Wendy's not as Wendy's but as First Kitchen? Wendy's Japan acquired First Kitchen from Suntory back in 2016, and seeing that First Kitchen has a similar type of menu with Wendy's, they just combine them together.
Thank you I was wondering that while I was in Japan. I thought it was because our slogan here is old fashioned hamburgers and that would confuse Japanese since hamburgers haven’t been a part of their cuisine for so long so they would just use a different slogan.
Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve been following the channel for years and as someone who has social anxiety, the videos help me when I wanna visit somewhere, especially with no music and simple straightforward commentary. Thank you so much and I know lots of people feel the same as me ❤
Yes I love that they don't add music to the background! So many channels I watched for the asmr aspect have since put music in the background so I have to mute them now.
the mini pancakes are actually a dutch specialty known as ''poffertjes'' they are usually served with molten butter and powdered sugar on top, Japan enjoys serving dutch dishes from time to time.
I would have said the same. Poffertjes! 😋 Always delicious. But I wouldn't eat them soaked in soft serve. Just with the regular powder sugar and maybe a little bit of butter.
Every time I see a video about American fast food in Asia, I'm a bit jealous. I don't eat fast food much, but the Asian countries put so much more effort into it. In America, their idea of an exciting new product is to take an old version and put bacon on it. It's boring. But over there, it's interesting.
Me Too! I live on the WestCoast of Canada and the fast food is always sad and looks nothing like the photos. Japan fast food actually looks Fantastic!@@zeusapollo8688
What these American chain places are doing that open in other countries is tweaking dishes, adding dishes to satisfy the local pallets. A few foodie you tubers say that Jamaica has the best KFC.
Agreed! So much better choices that I fail to believe wouldn't do well in North America. I would eat fast food way more if they had rice dishes, curries, etc.
Because you pay much more for fast food in Asia. The median income in Japan is roughly 1/2 that of the US, so consider they're paying the equivalent of $22 for a burger meal.
The chicken nuggets and chili were the only items familiar to me. I almost always get the chili because it's so hearty and good, especially with their weird hot chili seasoning and some sour cream, and have a baked potato with the chili for a nice comforting meal. All the other items you tried out looked so good! KFC did the Double Down, something similar to the Wild Rock, except with fried chicken as the buns.
I think those steak seasoned fries are one of the best things Ms. Bacons has ever eaten with that reaction! I really rely on her facial expressions to determine how tasty something is. That being said, I prefer an unsweetened matcha 😂
Dang the Wendy's in Japan has a lot more choices than up here in Canada! (Pasta at a Wendy's?! And floats and boba teas?! Oh man that sounds good!) But I noticed that there's one side missing from the menu; baked potatoes! That or I missed seeing them. ^^; Either way I am ordering Wendy's tonight! Thanks DancingBacons!
Random silly fact, if I remember correctly. Wendy’s in Japan is called “fakkin” (ファッキン) Which is the abbreviation for “First Kitchen”. They abbreviate the names of some places by making it the first letter of the word. For Wendy’s, first would be fa-su-to and kitchen would be ki-chi-n. Lets get fakkin 🤩
Mrs. Bacons is absolutely adorable, especially when she doesn't like something. But when she does like it ... that smile can light up the darkest cave!
Every video at an international version of an American fast food chain makes me feel like we're getting ripped off! Do they have any idea how much more people would eat at these places if we had that kind of quality and selection?
@@illfaytedi really think it's bc of the culture around fast food over here in asia, in the states, at least from what my friends tell me, fast food is just something people get without much thought. Over here though, fast food is seen as a thing reserved for special occasions, and maybe it's because of that culture that the quality of fast food over here is just different
lived in japan for 3 years, never went to wendys, but not surprised as it seems every other American fast food place was miles ahead of home. You did see the actual silver ware vs a plastic spork right
Heh..I used to work for the place, and this is way better than we ever had. Only thing in common seems to be the chili. I was stuck making the stuff most of the time, I can't escape it! :-)

As someone who used to work for Wendy's here in the US....man, Japan gets all the cool stuff. About the only thing we have in common is the chili... That said, the bunless double burger looks like an...interesting concept.
I hadn't seen what was on my youtube page yet...but...i made myself some Wendy's chilli in a can and sat down scrolled to what was 1st posted today and this was the 1st actual video to watch..😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ok…… So my husband and I were dying 😂😂😂😂 at the end. The background noise of someone moving their chair, sounded like someone farting really loudly. Best video so far! 😂😂😂
wendys in japan is so good i was so hungry walking around kyoto and i wanted some american food for once and i really enjoyed the limited edition burger. it was much more fresh tasting than the american wendys
If Wendy's has chicken seasoning for their shaker fries, you should try it if you go there again. I think you'll like it! 😊 Although, I guess it depends on what you get with them. It would clash with beef burgers, for example.
Oh Mrs Bacons recoiled at that unsweeted late and the way she did it was so cute and funny! 😂 Some of the food looked amazing while others did not, the jr burger just looked sad!
Love to see Mrs. Bacon's faces of approval. Gee, I just checked the Wendy's online menu in USA, and it doesn't include anything matcha, spaghetti or boba drinks. Different gastronomy. Thank you for sharing. And yet, I have never eaten anything from Wendy's 😂, this was good promotion for them.
I really enjoy these videos. I work for a Japanese corporation here in the States, so I'm always curious about how things differ from American food. The food for the local Wendy's here in the States looks different from this quality-wise. It is cheaply thrown together and, most of the time, wrong. Customer service is basically nonexistent.
Japanese fast food seems much fresher for the most part and of higher quality than what we have here in the US, but I'm still a stone Whataburger kinda guy when it comes to fast food. It's a rare occasion when I eat fast food, but they will always remain my first choice. Unless I'm in Tokyo, them Mos Burger will be that first choice.
I went to that Wendy’s when I was down there. I both expected and didn’t expect that it would be there, since ikne there weren’t American fast food everywhere other than like Mc’ds, then I found a Hardee’s and I was like yeah, it makes since Wendy’s was there. I went there before Wendy’s decided to change their fries. Can’t wait to go back though. Food was hot and tasty
Your wife is an absolute gem and I love seeing her reactions to food. Your videos help me and my husband wind down at the end of the day and we have been watching you since 2022. You’ve helped me fall asleep when it’s nearly impossible to due to stress or anxiety and it’s always a delight to put you up on the tv and fall asleep (though, sometimes I gotta get me a snack. The food is always so tasty looking…and I’m from America it’s never as tasty haha)
When it comes to food Japan doesn’t mess around. So good 😋 I got a Wendy’s near me and It used to be pretty good years ago, but now it’s a shadow of its former self. Cold soggy fries to bland burgers that taste like they been sitting in a warmer for a while. I would rather eat McDonald’s. To be fair though the McDonalds location I go most frequently is near where I work. That location is actually pretty good. They are always busy and food is as hot and fresh as McDonald’s food can get. I have been to other McDonald’s locations that are just as bad as the Wendy’s I am talking about.
People hate on Wendy's fries but they are the best "unseasoned" fast food fries out there in my opinion right next to Chik Fil a. Their burgers are also my favorite when it comes to fast food
@@berrycutepixels saying they are the worst is an exaggeration; far from being the worst. They’re better than Burger King and any place that serves lousy crinkle cut fries that are always bland. And McDonalds is just for people with a salt addiction. I mean if you’re going to say something in the worst at least provide a good reason for it. Not just some piss poor opinion because your feelings got hurt
Is this the wendys in Shinjuku? I was there last week and wanted to try it but there was a long line around 10 pm, I opted for a local ramen shop around the alley instead. I did get to try the McDonald’s though and their shrimp burgers are 🔥!

Countries like Japan and Korea have a talent for adopting Western cuisine and raising it to an epic level.
Most of Asia is like this, its not only Japan and Korea just because you only choose to expose yourself in these cultures, ignoramus
Yeah and ppl here in the states get crap lol
We used to be like this. Then it just went down hill with all the drugs,homeless and illegals. Thanks Obama
Doesn’t look very good
HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH 711? It is unfair the 711 stores are so nice over there.
I can hear my fellow filipino talking at the background hahahah.....so nice to know they also love that place😆
I thought i was hearing things. I dont exactly know which language/dialect it was but i understood some words lol
Of course, they are very loud too.
They’re loud as usual 😂
Mga bisaya. 😊
ang ingay nila hahahahahah
Mrs. Bacon's reaction after having the matcha latte and Mr. Bacon's laughter was hilarious 😂 😂😂!

It’s amazing how the restaurants adapts to different cultures. In Hawaii the McDonalds has Ramen! It’s very cool.

Congrats on 3m! Been watching you for a while love your calming videos
Oh awesome! I love to see vids on places america also has to see just how different they can be with the menus and such!
I can’t believe they have pasta that literally looks like the same quality you’d get at a sit down restaurant
In japan and korea what the us thinks of as fast food is foreign food and treated as we would treat a olive garden, or chineese food

I thought of the Double Down as well! Also, the chicken nuggets in Japan look very different.
Why do I love this channel sm it’s just ppl eating but somehow it’s different in a nice way, idk
I wish our Wendy's chicken nuggets in America looked like Japan's! The food there is more appetizing and more variety as well!
i NEVER MISS AN UPLOAD!! love your videos so much thank u for posting!
Yummy food as always! 🎉❤
On a side note, was so surprised to hear Tagalog and Bisaya in the background. Love, the Philippines 🇵🇭
I appreciate the honesty. Sometimes things are too salty.

They should definitely add a bunch of these to the US Wendy's menu, including the chicken burger and Wild Rock burger. 😋
Yes another upload from my favorite food vlogger here at youtube ♥️
Any other Americans watching this and getting increasingly amused but mad that this is like 100 tiers above regular Wendy's lol

Best video so far! 😂😂😂
that looks so good omg. the pasta especially!
Wendy's chili is the best, good to see it's in Japan. The Japanese menu looks amazing!
Gosh, that Tsukimi C.B.P. Chicken burger looks soooooooooooo good!🤤😋 I can't wait to try it out when I visit Japan!
4:43 the background conversation caught me off guard. They're Filipino speaking in Bisaya instead of Tagalog. They're talking salaries 😅
I can hear some Filipinos talking in the background lol 😂 Very nice video! Hoping to visit Japan soon ❤
I could tell that steak seasoned fries were really good by the reaction.
Nice video of a restaurant set in Japan.
no matter where Wendy's is - they never disappoint. seeing pasta and boba tea there is so cool! i wish we had that at the american locations.
wendys in japan is so good i was so hungry walking around kyoto and i wanted some american food for once and i really enjoyed the limited edition burger. it was much more fresh tasting than the american wendys
if you are there for christmas try ther KFC - its kind of a christmas thing
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Smokey cheese sauce sounds awesome
Great looking offerings from Wendy’s. They are so creative in Japan. Thanks, DancingBacons.
man those were some hefty sandwiches. i certainly wouldn't be walking out of there hungry.

Although, I guess it depends on what you get with them. It would clash with beef burgers, for example.
Haha ok!
Wendy's is my favorite fast-food chain restaurant in the US, and it's very cool to see what their menu looks like in Japan!
Those noodles look yummy 😋
I always enjoy your videos, thank you.
I call upon Wendy's in the US to get their act together and start making these items available here! 😅😅
Just when I need to watch your video to increase my appetize! Thank you very much!
Thanks for the new video!
Man, Japanese branches of western fast food joints always go so hard when they probably don't have to...
The fact they got all that loot for 40 bucks is crazy here in the states each combo meal ends up costing like 20 bucks
This video was so uncomfortable for me to watch lmfao. That wild rock burger was disrespectful.😂 Love your videos Bacons, keep up the great work!
I've heard Filipino speaking our dialect, so cute hehe.
Universal fact: Dancing Bacons never fails to make us feel hungry 😋👍🏻
They should call that CBP burger the before and after ... 😂
We have wendys restaurant in Malaysia but sadly they closed around 2019. I remember i eat wendy burgers at gpo (Genting Premium Outlets)
The wild rock burger was wild. 💜💛💜💛
Always enjoyable to see her funny face enjoying the food with a smiley face 😅😊
Mrs Dancing Bacon is adorable as ever ❤
Thank you for the video. Wendy's it's my favorite fast food chain, and in Japan has a varieties in their menu. The last one I would like to try it.

Spaghetti at Wendy’s?!?! Now I’ve seen it all 😮
The Wild Rock looks so ridiculously American. I'm surprised it's not available!

Even though it's a big business, it's still pretty cool seeing a business that started in Ohio in Japan
and that spaghetti looks really good
I actually ate at Wendy's today lol what a coincidence :P
I love the nickname the japanese give to wendy's first kitchen
Hoping one day Mr. & Mrs. Bacon will make it to the United States. And try the food here.
Yaaaay early for another great video ❤❤
It's interesting to see that the Wendy's Chili is apparently international (I used to work at a Wendys)
Ooh I think the Wild Rock meal for me.. Melon Soda sounds amazing, I'm in UK 😢 so will have to dream lol
I used to buy the smallest cheese burger and chili, open the burger up, pour the chili on top. Makes a chili-burger for cheap.
Yummy....there's a Filipino voice in your background 😄 proud Pinoy

That Wild Rock burger is basically a KFC Double Down, but the beef patty edition.
America needs to get on those shaken fries. With a bunch of different flavors? Hell yeah.
