Japanese aren't lactose intolerant (they love ice cream) and milk isn't all that expensive. They simply don't have that much of a taste for cheese. Except, inexplicably, Camembert cheese. Every supermarket I go to has row after row of different kinds of Camembert cheese but only rarely do I see cheddar or swiss cheese.

A tip to the Japanese learners out there: Dictionaries that let you draw Kanji to look them up are useful, but you'll end up learning less about Kanji if you rely on them too much. Familiarizing yourself with the radicals, their stroke counts, and especially their names will serve you far better in the future.

Europe is the region in which a large percentage of lactose tolerant originate from. It has to do with the need to get vitamin D from milk instead of from sunlight. There are numerous scientific papers detailing this.

@Jesse in Japan: yeah but since DS's are universal, you can always import it. i got mine from white rabbit press but i've seen it at yesasia too.

also to all the cheese debaters: aren't asians largely lactose intolerant? they don't like cheese because it doesn't like them.

It almost comes across like the DS cart being advertised will teach you just enough English to get you into a heap of a mess (and a heap of cholesterol on a bun).

I'll be one of the endless posters to submit that she's impossibly cute, too. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they were looking for a "Kevin James" type when casting her order-taker. That's who I thought of, anyway.

Also, mad props to 漢字そのままDS楽引き辞典...I'm taking Japanese 302 now, and ever since I got it, it's been pretty much the only thing I use to do all of my homework and translation.

Is that everyone? Ok. Here in North Carolina, we have a joint called Red Robin that serves a burger called the "Royal Red Robin Burger" that has a fried egg on it. I've had it, it's pretty darn tasty.

Oh, and there's apparently RR's all over the freaking place. Except the Dakotas. God help you if you live in North or South Dakota. C'mon, there's even one in Montana! There's nothing in Montana!

Anyway, there's my two cents.

I have to agree with fried egg on a burger being delicious. I currently live in Japan and McDonald's has a teriyaki egg burger, which is the bomb-diggity! Also, fried egg on a hamburger is not that uncommon. If anybody has been to a Red Robin, they have the Royal Robin burger, which is served with one large fried egg. Yum yum!

Ahh, if only Japanese girls like her were the norm...

But yeah, the cheese thing. Cheese just isn't something found in Asian cooking, so many Asians aren't used to it in and of itself.

Of course, stuff like pizza is popular though. You should see the kind of crazy toppings they have for that. :)

@Zho:

That's what I mean. It's apparently supposed to be an American restaurant, but they list fried egg as a burger topping. That's not something you'd find on a hamburger in America.

And the cheese thing as well, though I just noticed it.

Cheese is looked upon as kind of gross in Japan, or at least some parts of Asia, right? So the guy cringes at the thought of her wanting cheese. Whereas in America it's just another food, and is pretty much the standard for hamburgers.

Thus my comment on possible localization faux pas.

@badasscat:
Every time I see 'cheese' described in an RPG, it seems, it always says something like "Due to its strong odor, some people don't like it."

I'm not sure how obvious of a conclusion I can draw from that, but I can tell you this - I love cheese. I visited Japan for a few weeks about 3-4 years ago, and after returning, I was on a serious cheese-craving.

So... this may, or may not, be anything at all why.

Exactly! So the Japanese can train themselves in their spare DS time, while we Americans flounder about while trying to secure the Matsumoto account, but making an untimely mealtime faux-pas?

It's a conspiracy* I tell you!

I think LanguageHere-English dictionaries would be neat to have on our shores, personally, especially Japanese.

She looks like a normal Japanese girl to me (which I think is the idea); I don't see anything special about her...

But yeah, the vagueries of Japanese burger toppings are kind of funny... I love how the guy asks her about fried egg and neither one of them flinches, but then he asks her about cheese and when she says yes, he's like, "really??"

Jesse in Japan — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 05:30:57 MDT

There is a Japanese language primer. It's called kanji sonomama rakubiki jiten (Kanji as is easy-to-look-up dictionary--rough translation). It allows you to write kanji you don't know directly using the touch screen (you have to have some understanding of the stroke order) and it gives you the kana reading and the definition in either English or Japanese. It's essentially just a Japanese-English dictionary on the DS, so it will almost certainly never be released in America.
