we wanted to find out the biggest differences

between Subway in Japan and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

In Japan, our sandwiches come in three sizes.

This one is regular,

and here we've got foot-long sub,

and this one right here is party tray.

This is party tray A,

which is three regular sandwiches

cut into 12 pieces,

or we can also get a party tray

that's three foot-long subs.

In the US, you have three sizes:

6-inch, foot-long, and the party tray.

This is five foot-longs cut into three sections,

giving us 15 sandwiches.

Not enough party in that party platter?

Subway's got you covered.

Here in the US, you can also get a 3-foot party sub.

Whoa!

Yes.

♪ Yes! ♪

Time to give this sandwich an exam.

Dude, are you kidding me?

Look at this.

I'm seeing ham. I'm seeing turkey. I'm seeing cheese.

And also we have a giant sub.

Let me show you.

[grunts]

I got this.

And this is what it looks like.

This is too big.

In Japan, our fountain drinks come in three sizes.

This one is small,

and medium,

and large.

Here in the US Subway, the website says there's a small,

but I talked to the Subway manager,

and they assured me they don't have a small,

so apparently our fountain drinks are just two sizes.

Medium, which makes no sense 'cause there's no small,

and large.

At Subway, I had to fill up, myself,

the fountain drinks, which of course I don't mind.

So any inaccuracies rest on my shoulders

and my shoulders alone.

Ooh!

40 what? Not even close.

And that was like, I filled this up to the brim.

I'm looking through this, and I'm seeing 33, maybe.

We'll be generous. We'll give them 34.

They still missed it by 6.

6 fluid ounces you guys are skimping on us?

You get a good shot of that.

Is that really 6 missing ounces?

Do we think that's 6 ounces of fluid we're missing there?

You better believe I'm on a high horse right now.

This is infuriating!

I'm really hungry, that has a lot to do with it too.

On the surface, both countries' sandwiches look the same,

but we wanted to get a closer look.

Here we have a foot-long on white turkey with lettuce,

tomato, black olives, and onions.

All right, I have got the same one,

so I'm going to weigh this.

Joe: Wow, so pretty close.

Scientific accuracy is really important in "Food Wars," so.

George: Now let's open it up and see what's inside.

Joe: Huh, only a 10-gram difference,

but ours had a lot more turkey and a lot less vegetables.

Hm.

So, here are all the Subway menu items

you can get in Japan but not in the US.

And here is everything you can get at US Subway

you cannot get in Japan.

So, let's start with new exclusive sandwiches.

So, here we've got tandoori chicken sandwich.

Mm!

The chicken itself is tender.

9 out of 10.

Congrats.

So, next one, we've got tokumori tandoori chicken sandwich.

Tokumori means extra large,

so extra-large tandoori chicken sandwich.

We've got spicy egg shrimp.

So, next one, we've got

chōkatsu chicken and cheese sandwich.

This is not good.

It doesn't have any taste.

Man, what the fudge?

So, first thing, I have this huge pile of sandwiches here.

I'll just try and do some hits.

Here is, of course, steak and cheese.

Buffalo chicken.

Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe it's 'cause they put all the veggies on here too.

They kind of just did the standard ones.

I don't think this looks very good.

Ooh, the Cali turkey.

Looks like there's spinach on here.

Oh, and bacon! Yeah, OK.

Not bad.

They ruined it with the cucumbers.

The cold cut combo.

This is, like, the sandwich, right?

If we were playing "Family Feud"

and the category was Subway sandwiches,

I feel like the cold cut combo would be No. 1, right?

Ooh, the Baja steak, everybody!

Straight from Baja California.

You know their blast, now try their steak.

Everyone in the room just groaned. [laughs]

[sighs]

I have to know, how far is that bathroom from here?

They really load it with the vegetables.

Again, why would you want all these gross veggies on ... ?

I want the meatball, and I want the sauce and the cheese.

I don't want cucumbers.

My meatball sandwich is ruined!

I'm sneaking a meatball.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.

Yeah, the Italian BMT.

Come on, this is, like, the most popular one.

See, you got the meat there. Nice-looking meat, right?

Nice-looking meat?

Then you lift up the meat, boo!

Boo!

Who ruined this sandwich with vegetables?

It is the spicy Italian.

Looks a lot like the BMT.

But yeah, dude, in Subway's defense,

these sandwiches were made,

what, three hours ago at this point?

So, here are Japan's exclusive regular menu items.

So let's start with this pizza bacon Italiana.

Itadakimasu!

I will rate this 7 out of 10.

Molto bene!

So, next one, we've got prosciutto mascarpone.

Shrimp avocado.

And I love avocado.

Next, we've got turkey, bacon, egg.

Turkey;

as you can see, bacon, right here;

and egg paste.

It's not that great.

And next, we've got chili chicken sandwich.

This is terrible.

Subway, how dare you?

[crying]

OK, I'm getting full, but let's keep going.

Here we've got avocado vegetables.

Mm!

Next, we've got egg sandwich.

All right, one thing I have to mention is that

most of these sandwiches can be a salad.

So if you like salad, go ahead.

But Joe wouldn't get this for sure.

What, did Subway get a panini press or something?

Like, look at these. They just took these sandwiches

and grilled them or whatever.

OK, this one right here is the BMT.

So, I'm just guessing for the melts,

they do it on the white bread,

and they add a bunch of cheese,

and they just grill it, right?

I mean, I can't even open this.

Like, it's locked.

Buffalo chicken melt.

Maybe there's less vegetables in it,

so maybe I do want this and I don't realize it.

Steak and cheese.

A Philly cheesesteak, right?

Blech. I know this one.

I know this one!

Tuna melt.

Turkey melt. Yeah, I guess.

I mean, I gotta say, like,

I haven't tasted them,

but the effort in these are just like,

what are you guys doing?

I mean, they just, like, flattened them.

Ham melt.

What's SP again?

Producer: Spicy Italian.

It should be SI, but it's SP for spicy, right?

That's why I'm like, "Wait a second,

is this the spaghetti one we've been talking about?"

Meatball melt. What'd they do?

They flattened the meatballs in there, right?

Oh, f---.

I mean, it's better. Less vegetables, right?

This is the chicken bacon melt.

So, this is the Japan Only sandwich.

Everything on here, you can't get in the US.

It's a 6-inch on sesame bread with tandoori chicken,

mascarpone, cream cheese, egg salad, shrimp,

chili sauce, and wasabi soy sauce.

This is a mystery sandwich.

Itadakimasu.

I said wasabi soy sauce, right?

I got wasabi attack.

It's hurting me.

It's got too many flavors, and it makes me confused.

This here is the USA Only sandwich,

a sandwich comprised of only ingredients

you can get in the United States and not in Japan.

So, I started with the jalapeño cheese bread.

It has meatballs, American cheese,

pepper jack cheese, provolone cheese,

banana peppers, good God!

Spinach, ranch, sriracha, and pepperoni.

[sighs]

Here we go.

That's actually pretty good.

I really like this.

Dude, that's good.

It's not too spicy. The jalapeño bread's really good.

The meatballs and the pepperoni work really well together.

I gotta say, the banana peppers

are actually welcome in this.

It kind of makes it a little sweeter.

I'm gonna take another bite. Yeah!

Subway, put this on your menu.

This is really good.

I challenge you, all the viewers in the United States,

start ordering this sandwich.

Let's put the pressure on Subway

to make this a featured sandwich.

This is good!

Mm!

So, here we've got snack sandwiches.

This one right here is anko sandwich.

And anko is a staple of traditional Japanese sweets.

The taste can be enjoyed alone or as a complement

to other Japanese flavors, such as matcha.

And here we've got

anko and mascarpone.

I have an announcement to make.

Subway has breakfast.

I'm just as surprised as all of you.

Specifically, they have four breakfast sandwiches

here in the US.

A bacon, egg, and cheese;

a Black Forest ham, egg, and cheese;

egg and cheese;

and steak, egg, and cheese.

I don't know which one is which.

I think this is the steak, egg, and cheese.

Oh, it's flatbread too, so I can kind of --

[laughs]

This looks like a cartoon!

Look at this!

Look at the eggs.

Are you kidding me with this?

At a Subway in the US,

you can get just about any one

of their sandwiches as a protein bowl.

From what I can tell,

that's their way of calling this a salad.

So, you know my feelings on salad.

I hate them.

Just an example, though,

we got what looks to be a turkey one.

Everything that comes on a sandwich,

but just instead of bread, it's a bowl.

Then once you're done you can throw it in the ocean.

Kill a sea turtle.

Who cares? Why?

It's a waste. It's an absolute waste.

Just eat a sandwich like a normal person.
