McDonald's is set to take on Starbucks in Japan with a new chain of coffee shops brewing up bargain lattes, the fast food chain said Thursday.

The Japan unit of U.S.-based McDonald's Corp. will launch 15 pilot "McCafe" stores in the Tokyo area on August 29, according to a company release.

NO NO NO!!! Japanese popular culture has been contaminated with the junk food too much already... youngsters don't eat sushi, they prefer the unhealthy hamburger instead T_T

Too many scenesters go their to look "cool" and the rest of people go there to look "classy."

Don't they have such high metabolsim that it doesn't really matter what they eat? They just burn it all off and get hungry again quick.

Welcome to Japan. They also have their own junkfood -- stuff that hasn't been brought in from the USA or elsewhere.

By the way, sushi is really only eaten occasionally in Japan. Usually for special events/occasions. It's not like they just scarf them down on a daily basis.

No, Japan is getting fatter by the day. They do probably have better metabolism than your average westerner, but adult Japanese typically lead unhealthy lives when it comes to food choice, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.
