Lotteria means Lotte+Cafeteria. In all the years I've been in Japan I'd never gone into Lotteria until last year. Not even once. I've always just assumed that local fast food was bad and not bothered (all fastfood is bad but you know what I mean). Near the office there is a Lotteria that is actually quite nice with sofas and cushions even. I've become fond of the Zeppin Cheeseburger which has nothing inside except meat and cheese. No lettuce, onions, tomato, ketchup. Nothing. And it's tiny, you could eat it in 2 or 3 bites easily. But, it has a peppery, chickory, barbacuey taste that's good.
