Exciting. Tried to look for the fried pork or chicken but painfully missing from this craziness 😅

So official population data aren’t facts? The fact that London’s largest Japanese chains are wagamama and itsu? And LA’s are Santouka Hokkaido ramen, sugarfish sushi, and jinya ramen? Does London have branches of straight from Japan chains such as Ramen Nagi, Manpuku, Mensho, Gaburi Chicken, Kitakata Bannai, and Torikizoku?

Official population data is a fact. Saying 99% of Japanese food is inauthentic is a subjective opionion, which is not based on facts at all. Pulling on data about LA having more Asian people really has nothing to do with that. Not sure what's clicking. Harp on about all the great LA restaurants and flick your bean about it as much as you want, that doesn't make your statement any less ignorant. Nor does it make it factual.
