How to Get Authentic American Burgers in Japan

Jim (we never learn his last name) makes American hamburgers in Fukuoka, Japan. After twenty years of marriage, his wife said she wanted to go home to Japan. Turnabout is fair play, so Jim moved to Japan and opened U.S. Burger, even though he didn't speak Japanese. That was three years ago. Now he speaks some Japanese, and his English has a Japanese accent. And he speaks a clear and simplified version of English that makes it easier for people who speak English as a second language. The restaurant specializes in high quality authentic American hamburgers, and has quite a reputation in Fukuoka.

The burger joint started as a hobby, so Jim was free to put his heart into it. He didn't have a culinary background, but he knows what a good American burger is. He picks up custom made buns every day, smokes his own bacon, grinds American angus beef for the burgers, and crafts every order personally. Even if you have no interest in finding an American hamburger in Japan, you'll enjoy this delicious slice-of-life video. But it might make you hungry. -via reddit ā€‹
