I'd personally travel up to 3 times the distance to get to a Dunkin Donutes versus Starbucks. McDonalds and Burger King are pretty much even, with McDonalds being the slightly more popular, though I personally would not like to eat at McDonalds.

But even their normal burgers are way better than McRoadkill, and actually look like the photos.... Mos does have some pretty expensive gourmet burgers - the Takumi Cheese burger costs 610 yen.

Sorry about that, and about the pricing; I don't know where I heard it was 700 yen, but a burger plus fries and drink set is about 580 yen or so.

More like 300 yen. According to Wiki Japan, MOS originally meant Merchandising Organizing System, then changed to "MOSt delicious", then the Mountain Ocean Sky you list, and now it is Sun - as of quite a few years back, as it was quite a few years back that I actually got around to asking someone who worked there.

It brings to mind something I'm curious about. With fast-food locations, is there any kind of regional loyalty? For instance, in America - on the East Coast at least, Krispy Kreme is a "southern" favorite, while the north is dominated (and I mean SERIOUSLY dominated) by Dunkin' Donuts. Starbucks is the only one to heavily canvas the entirety of...well, let's face it...earth. Any regional disparity in the numbers? :-) I didn’t know that they had opened a Krispy Kreme location in Shibuya. It brings to mind something I’m curious about.
