  After you read that title you probably were thinking I finally finished blogging about restaurants in Japan.  If you were looking forward to something outside Japan, sorry, I still have a couple more reviews left in me. 

  The "train" to Odaiba runs on rubber wheels and it's automated with no driver:

  I was getting sick of ramen and tempura so I went with something a little more Western:

  

  The had a number of fried shrimp or fried fish items but I wasn't feeling like more seafood either so I went with their burger.

  The burger looks pretty enough:

  

  After I took a bite I wasn't really sure that was really beef.  I was expecting beef.  It was much more soft and spongy than any beef I've had.  It tasted a little too fatty and rubbery than ground beef.  I suspect it was a pork burger.

  Shoe string fries:

  

  The fries weren't bad.  I just wish they were thicker and came out hot.  They're even smaller than McDonald's fries and there wasn't a lot included with the meal.  The ketchup tasted sweeter than ones I've had in Toronto.  From what I recall, ketchup tasted different around the world, just like Coke, to suit the local taste buds.

  I shouldn't have attempted to eat beef in Japan.  I don't think it was meant to be.  The burger didn't taste like it had beef and the fries were just too few and small.  For $6, I was pretty let down as I could get a better deal at Harvey's which was many magnitudes better.  I don't recommend ordering a burger from any restaurant in Japan unless it's specified as Kobe or Wagyu beef.
