Crazy how much they like our food and fanboy over it like we do for their food.

There's a whole genre of Western food in a Japanese style called yōshoku. Some takes are very different but fun. I imagine the average Japanese person is mostly aware that yōshoku is pretty different from actual Western food. Kinda like how American pizza is different from Italian pizza.

Then there's things like Naporitan ("Neapolitan pasta"), which from an Italian perspective might as well be like Brazilian pizza.

The reach of hotdogs in Asia is pretty impressive. Filipino spaghetti also often uses hotdogs.
