First Kitchen was it’s own fast food restaurant in Japan until Wendy’s bought them several years ago, so it’s a bit of a combination of both places now.
@@nerfmoze8590 It's a long LONG story. But Korea and Japan have been neighboring nations for over 2000 years, and Japan has invaded and committed atrocities against Koreans countless times, most of them being Japanese pirates raiding Korean coasts. But the two biggest issues was when the Japanese military invaded Korea in the 1500s, and when Japan annexed Korea in the early 1900s. The imperial army did horrible stuff to the Korean people. Search up "comfort women" if you want to learn more. Anyway, because of all this, and the Japanese government denying their atrocities to this day, Korean people do not like Japanese and vice versa.
@@beastinfection638 Eh, I think that's true for mostly the older generation considering the era they grew up in. And yeah Japanese people can be prejudice but they're mostly silent about it. But these days the youth from Korea and Japan are on decent terms with each other. Korean culture is pretty popular in Japan right now with younger people (kpop, korean fashion/makeup, kdramas, and food). Similarly for Korea, some of my Korean friends are really into Japanese culture with food and anime. I'm not gonna deny that there'll rare moments of discrimination and have personally experienced it once myself. But I myself am Chinese (considering the history between China and Japan and the reputation of Chinese tourists) and I've have had nothing but 99% positive experiences when I visited even when they asked me where I was from and my ethnicity. As long as you behave and respect others in Japan you'll get the same treatment back even if you're Korean or Chinese IMO. You're not wrong at all with the history between the two countries and how messed up it is but it's not as simple as all Japanese people hate Koreans and vice versa.
There used to be Wendy's here in Edmonton too when I was young, but they're gone now. I'd try it if they were here. Thanks for sharing Ben. 😊 You nearly spilled your whole bowl of noodles showing it to the camera. Good thing you didn't. Spicy kick is awesome for noodles. Yum. ❤
@@fionafifi7029 you still get fries, sandwich, and nuggets...just get a drink on the side and it's still under $10. Math wasn't your strong point in school I see 🤦♂️
Wendy’s is great you never really hear bad things about Wendy’s. The Chilli is top notch I think they use chopped up hamburger patties in it. Plus you gotta dip the fries in the frosty!
Love Wendy's, definitely A tier for me. Triple Dave's burger, dunking fries into the frosty, chilli is so damn good. Just wish they would bring back the broccoli and cheese potato though and they would be S tier tbh
Wendy's pulled out of Japan entirely a few years back ---but came back in conjunction with First Kitchen. The non-hybrid stores are better than the ones with First Kitchen. Mister Donut also does pasta here...
Wendy fries used to be my favorite they had a thick cut fry years ago then changed them to natural fry with the skin there ok but I wish they would go back to the original fries
Wendy's, aka FAKKIN in Japanese slang, is the best fast food burger imo. Always has been. Their fries were meh and they've tried to make em crispier in the past 2 years or so. Random question, you tell people in Japan you're Korean or you kinda leave it as is unless they wanna probe for it?
First Kitchen is a Japanese fastfood joint that merged with Wendy's, hence the two names. Also, Japanese like to shorten/abbreviate names, so First Kitchen is often referred to as "Fa-Kin"😂
Yeah, one of the things that bums me out is no frosty at Japanese Wendy's restaurants. But, then again, I don't get Wendy's hardly so I guess it's not a huge deal.
I have been to the Wendy's in the Itaewon long time ago in Seoul. ㅋㅋㅋ...Ben not hungry and ate all those food. Wendy's Chile and baked potato with sour cream & chive.👍 👍😋🌶️🍔🍟🍗🍜
Fries at Wendy's in the U.S. were pretty bland growing up. But they eventually changed them to natural cut fries with a bit better flavor. They are okay, but nothing to write home about. Those Japanese fries looked delicious!
I’d say the consensus for Wendy’s in the US is pretty damn good. I don’t think it has the same hype around it like a McDonald’s or other burger places like in and out but from my experience it’s really good. I don’t know anybody personally who hates on Wendy’s. Imo Wendy’s nugs and fries are solid and some side menu items like the frosty are also ok but where Wendy’s goes CRAZZYYY is their burgers. U get a Dave’s double or triple and u eating good. I’d say out of McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s, Wendy’s def has my favorite burgers
Good idea, would love to see some vlogs and general Japan/ Day In the Life vids from you! Don’t be afraid to branch out :) we’ll always be here for the foodie content, and we’re also interested in your other musings too! We like you for you! Experiment!
@@333lookz Oh, thank you for telling me. I understand. I hope he is okay since then :( I’ve gone through similar situations, so I hope he continues to put his safety and happiness first. I’m here for whatever he chooses to safely share 🙏
Never remember having sweet fries, can't imagine how it would taste 🤔but the chicken looks good, wouldn't mind that being on the menu of some of the fast food restaurants I frequent.
Had Wendy’s today, always get that baconator but lately been going with the SON OF A baconator. Got this cob salad today and they have this ghost pepper ranch chicken sandwich over here, absolutely fire no pun intended. I live in Winnipeg, MB Canada. It’s good, real good over here anyways
I almost had a heart attack seeing that Pasta sliding off in the beginning
I said WHOA WHOA WHOA audibly 😂
he put too much trust in that plastic tray, he was jus a second away from losing it

Ah thanks for explaining!
Taking forty bucks worth of Wendy’s to the face is goals
is that ebonics
😂facts
@@IveNeverStoodUpenglish
Wendy's uses bread and butter pickles, gross
@@IveNeverStoodUp might wanna ask your mother. I bet she would know considering her experience with BBC
felt like ben was in a really good mood this video, entertaining
He was definitely ripped/hungover as hell though lol
@@ryanglacier30how yk? 😂
oh nvm lol
Japan does that to ya. Good place.
he's high off an edible for sure
3:18 ben almost pulled a Tyler1, legitimately thought that pasta was a goner
I cant wait for some random Japan story times from Ben. We need to hear about his wild nights🤣
yeah you bet he's got plenty of stories to tell 😂
@@nerfmoze8590
Yep. He's probably dealing with some prejudice. Japanese people do not like Koreans lol.
@@beastinfection638 what, why is that?

I'm interested in seeing what you share about your experiences in Japan, when you finally have that project prepared for us. Looking forward to it...

Not that hungry Ben: knocks down 2 burgs, bowl of pasta, order of fries, and a chicken wing.
11:09 love how he put it back on the plate even though he knew he was gonna immediately house the rest of that shit anyway 😂
Loving this Japan series ben keep it coming! We love these
Wendy's is a rare treat here for me in the US because it's so expensive. One meal is like $15 now compared to two years ago it was only $9.
their value menu is actually cheap compared to everyone else in my opinion, the 4 for 4 meal is filling.
@@saabgarage3574 yeah but not everyone wants the value menu
Damn what are you ordering? $5 biggie bag....
@@drewdrew719coloradosprings6 as I said...1 meal, one meal.🤷usually that consists of a drink, fries, and sandwich 🤦

Lmao I love how Ben casually says he doesn't remember if he's ever tried bubble tea before, it's about time if not!
"not hungry" proceeds to eat everything 😂

Basically matt stone but more relaxed
We will always support. You're the best at everything you do.

Wow the camera quality is really good. And your videos are very chill :D
"I am not hungry right now"😂😂😂😂
Wendy's pulled out of Japan entirely a few years back ---but came back in conjunction with First Kitchen. The non-hybrid stores are better than the ones with First Kitchen. Mister Donut also does pasta here...
Wendy’s for me is def a go-to. Top tier food and cheaper than a lot of other fast food places.
mans living in Korea and just said i dont think ive ever had bubble tea
Wendy fries used to be my favorite they had a thick cut fry years ago then changed them to natural fry with the skin there ok but I wish they would go back to the original fries
Love the intro; very straightforward and cool quick intro, love the whole shot of the food
Ben gotta be the most American guy in Asia, hasn't even tried bubble tea!
You can take man out of America, but you'll NEVER take the American out of the man! 😂
@@mrjinkoreaBubble tea is very common in the United States.
The fries sound crispier than US fries.
Wendy's fries have always been ELITE level.
Damn you got me with this one, my favorite of all time is Wendy's. Now I have to Ubereats some lol.
bro almost lost his pasta dish 😭
Missed an opportunity to place the bunless one inside the regular one.
“It just tastes like a heavily seasoned, seasoned fry” 🤣 🍟
9:30 Nice Move
15:00 better than burger king whopper? Nice. Is the beef quality better than in America? So much additives in American fast-food burgers.
Ghost Pepper chicken sandwich in the USA in Wendy's is THE BEST!
Looks like you got the freshmen 15. Must be living Comfortably. 😂😅
Boba Teas are so common in US w/ I thought that it would be more common in Korea?
Loved the japanese Wendy's. Keep it up man.
I currently super nauseous from being sick. Looking at that pink pasta is putting me over the edge. Ugh that made me wanna barf hard.
Mic right into the sauce lol

"Yeah as i say im not really hungry" after eating a whole burger in like 3 bites 😭
No bro Wendys is def B tier. Really surprisingly good

This fa-kin chicken is good!
@@w1ndw4ker95 I read this in Australian
😂😂😂 Fa-kin is awesome 😂😂😂
Wendy’s fa-kin fried chicken 😬😬😬😬😬
Me when I’m “not hungry” 💀
bro started off saying wendys is wild with 7 bags for 7 dudes lol
Yeah, one of the things that bums me out is no frosty at Japanese Wendy's restaurants. But, then again, I don't get Wendy's hardly so I guess it's not a huge deal.
bros fadded 😂
Wendy's is S tier for me, Love it. don't @ me.
For the most part, everything is just better in Japan.
Not allowing B's and M's immigrate to your country allows you to have nice things.
That wild rock does look like a rock 😂😂😂
Wendy’s in oz sell donuts and ice cream. 😳
01:37 look at the smile on that US burger bun's smile face.
You know...the roe of the pollock 😂 thanks ben
That chicken looked mighty big and do looks tasty
Unnaturally Delicious
The meat patty sandwich reminded me of the scene from lightyear or the meat bread meat sandwich. I chuckled at the sandwich in this video.
maybe 10 weird/interessing japanish candy as a video
That chicken looks and sounds like the truth
im guessing you went to the one close to the little godzilla in yurakucho
Wendy’s easily B+ tier
Did Ben move to Japan? He has been there for over 2 weeks now...
I have been to the Wendy's in the Itaewon long time ago in Seoul.
ㅋㅋㅋ...Ben not hungry and ate all those food.
Wendy's Chile and baked potato with sour cream & chive.👍
👍😋🌶️🍔🍟🍗🍜
Ben taking no more than three to four chews before swallowing is insane.
"I'm not even hungry", as BenDeen eats a feast for 4 grown adults.
Cringe comment 🙄
more story time with the benmaster pls i wanna hear about your crazy nights
thing I love about this guy is how he eats like he has been starving in the Sahara for 2 weeks and yet he’s respectful and not messy about that shi..
3:20 was it necessary to give us all a fucking heart attack!!!
Ben off that Za 😂
why u say that lol
You need to try Mos Burger! It’s a Japanese fast food burger place.
He did!
Ben if you've never tried it, try putting some Sriracha sauce on fried chicken!
bubble tea at wendys sign me up holy cow
what a treat, been deen is always a wonderful surprise
7:48 I last have seen my son
Fries at Wendy's in the U.S. were pretty bland growing up. But they eventually changed them to natural cut fries with a bit better flavor. They are okay, but nothing to write home about. Those Japanese fries looked delicious!
Wendys first kitchen or Wendys first joint
thought he was flipping me off in the thumbnail
What does he mean by "I had a late night last night, I been having a couple wild ones lately"? 🤣
Drinking
Wooooo, a Wendy’s with no frosties should be a crime
Ring Lady messing with the camera toward the end of the video. Nice.
you've never had bubble tea before???
Jesus, he just fuckin shovels it in, doesnt he? 😅😂
Where is the ring lady? We want the ring lady x2 😂

A Dave's single is the best fastfood burger, if it's fresh. But you don't always get a fresh one. And it fucking sucks when you don't get a fresh one.
They used to have Wendy's in Korea. Ate there many times.
No ring lady today?
Does your food get cold, and do you eat it cold?
Why that chicken look like a fried rib 🤷🏾♀️
