Japan In King Burger

One of the problems that Burger King had in Japan was that their menu was too much for the Japanese. The typical Japanese doesn't want or need a whopper. This is what McDonalds figured out and is why there is no Quarter Pounder or Quarter Pounder w/cheese in Japan and they certainly don't need a Double or Tripple Quarter Pounder. They also didn't offer something in the local flavor like McDonalds has in Japan or anywhere else they go.
