we wanted to find out all the differences

between Taco Bell in Japan and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

In Japan, Taco Bell's standard tacos

come in orders of one,

two tacos with fries and a drink,

or you can get five-pack,

or you can get 10-pack.

In the US, our standard Taco Bell tacos

come in orders of one,

three with a medium drink,

or this, the 12-taco party pack.

Check this out.

I mean, they're not kidding when they say this is a party.

You roll into any party with this,

you are the party winner, right?

So, this is a Beef Taco Supreme.

It measures 5 inches.

Our Beef Taco Supreme

that's falling apart 'cause I'm an idiot

is exactly 5 3/4 inches.

And let's weigh this.

And it weighs ...

Boom!

It weighs 100 grams.

Looks like about 120 grams.

And this one is our burrito in Japan.

Now let's measure it.

5 inches.

Our bean burrito is

6 3/8 inches long.

And it weighs ...

guh!

It weighs 220 grams.

Just a hair over 250 grams.

Yeah, ours weighs more!

Hooray!

Here's our Crunchwrap Supreme.

It measures 6 inches across.

Let's go. Boom!

It weighs exactly 250 grams.

A personal favorite, the Crunchwrap Supr --

oh, man!

Aww, guys!

I mean, you get the idea, but it's just,

it's just like a thing of beauty

when they have the whole thing folded properly.

Plus also now, all my ...

everything inside's kind of exposed.

Across, it's exactly

6 inches.

Eh?

Illuminati stuff coming at you.

Six sides, 6 inches.

Oh, [beep].

We're on to them. Here they come.

If we go point to point,

it is the less interesting 6 1/2 inches.

So, we'll weigh it.

You have no idea how bad

I just want to take a huge bite out of this thing.

It weighs a respectable 300 grams.

That to me sounds exactly right.

At the Japanese Taco Bell,

the biggest menu item is ...

[drumroll]

Boom!

The variety set pack.

It includes two grilled burritos, which is chicken,

and two Chickstars,

which is fried-chicken Crunchwrap Supreme,

and here is four crunchy tacos, which is beef,

and here is nachos,

all for 5,000 yen,

or around $45.49.

Did George just say $45.49 for just the largest menu item?

That can't be right. That is so much money.

Everything on this end is $157.

Just their largest thing was almost 46 bucks.

That's wild.

The biggest single menu item

we have here in the United States

is the before-mentioned Taco Bell party box.

This is exactly what it looks like,

is a pack of 12 tacos,

and in America, this runs you $22.99,

or around 2,526.80 Japanese yen.

Here is everything

you can only get at Taco Bell in Japan,

you cannot get in the US.

And here's everything you can get at a US Taco Bell

you can't get in Japan.

Probably. I'm very confused.

I don't know what half of this stuff is.

So, these are Japan's special menu items.

But before we get it started,

I gotta mention one thing.

It's that I have never tried Taco Bell before.

This is my first time. I'm so excited.

George, I can't believe

this is your first time trying Taco Bell.

Congratulations, and I'm sorry.

So, here is Naked Chicken Taco.

I don't know why it's called naked.

Let me try.

Itadakimasu!

Mm!

This shell is not a usual taco shell.

It's actually chicken shell.

You rock my world.

So, here is DIY taco kit.

I'm going to make my own special tacos,

which is called George's Special Tacos.

GST, yo!

I'm gonna go with this crunchy shell.

I don't have spoons, so I have to do like this.

[shell cracks]

One more time.

You've gotta be gentle.

[shell cracks]

[Taco Bell bell ringing]

I'm going to use this one.

I have a good idea.

I gotcha!

Put some lettuce.

Put some cheese.

Tomato.

Hoi!

I prefer mild.

Ooh!

This is what we call GST.

Itadakimasu.

George just made his special taco,

and it is, like, the most average taco.

He was like, meat, cheese, tomatoes, and sauce.

Hate to break it to you, George, but you made, like,

you just made a ...

a soft-shell taco.

What would my taco be?

What would my Joe's Signature Taco Bell Taco?

Dorito shell, right?

Everyone's nodding their head. Follow me so far?

Wrapped in a gordita, right?

Then the steak, OK?

Then Tapatío.

I don't know if that's on the menu there.

That queso from Chipotle.

It's good, right?

I can put that on there.

Guacamole.

There's a taco chain in the Midwest called Taco John's,

and they have these little potato things called Potato Olés.

So I put some Potato Olés from Taco John's on there.

So we have it, then we deep-fry it.

I need a dipping sauce. What would I,

if I was to dip it, what would I dip it in?

Give me a sauce.

Sour cream, are you out of your mind?

Terrible. What do you think?

You guys are terrible. You don't know

what the hell you're talking about.

Uh, ranch. We'll go with ranch.

Spicy mayo?

This guy's cream over here,

like, it's Taco Bell, guys, get real!

There's Joe's, and only Joe's,

Signature Taco.

Get it going. They just gotta collab

with Chipotle and Taco John's.

USA.

Exclusive tacos at the Taco Bell.

Taco Bell, or Doritos, or both,

had the brilliant idea of going,

"Why don't we make our shell like a Dorito?"

And for some strange reason,

they still have non-Dorito-shell tacos,

which I don't understand why,

because it is far superior to any other

regular taco shell they have on their menu.

Look at this thing. Look at this thing.

I'm salivating looking at this.

Nothing, including oranges, are this orange naturally.

This is just a whole level of food chemical engineering,

and I applaud it.

Doritos, Taco Bell, here we go.

Oh, my God, so good!

George, you gotta come to America, and you gotta try this.

Chalupa Supreme, I'm assuming that's this.

The black bean chalupa.

Yeah, we saw that.

Yeah, that was the thing that looked like it [beep] itself.

The Cantina Crispy Melt.

It has a deep-fried shell.

And then other than that, I see beans, all the veggies.

And then this must be a crispy melt.

The Gordita Crunches are, they take a regular taco

cover it in melted cheese, nacho cheese,

and then wrap a tortilla around it.

Taco Bell answered my prayers

by making a Gordita Crunch that has, in fact,

the Dorito shell inside of it.

They use ...

yeah, and they use cheese to melt it to the hard shell.

Best idea ever. You gotta know.

Yeah, yeah!

Something stuffed in something, with melted cheese.

This is everything I want.

Is it good?

Are you a vegetarian? Is that why you've had it?

Oh. Why would you get not meat at Taco Bell?

OK, I understand. All right, to each their own.

The spicy potato soft taco.

I hear from a very good source, a very reliable source,

that this is good.

So, gotta know.

Oh, yeah, dude!

This is good. What's that sauce that's on here?

We did not have available the loaded chicken flatbread

or the loaded black bean flatbread.

They are on the website.

They weren't available here.

We've got cheesy core burrito.

We've got cheesy beef burrito.

We've got Chickstar,

which is fried-chicken Crunchwrap Supreme.

Burritos. I'm already tired.

Quesarito, beefy five-layer burrito, burrito Supreme,

black bean Crunchwrap Supreme, cheesy roll-up.

Did we see the chicken chipotle melt?

Yeah, that was the one that ripped open,

was the chicken chipotle melt.

So, here is Japan's only side menu.

We've got crispy chicken.

Our Taco Bell in the US,

you can get a side of black beans and rice or guacamole.

So, here are a few menu items that are the same,

but so different, between Japan and the US.

Our nachos come like this.

The chips and toppings are separate.

I got two avocado sauce

and tomato and cheese

and sour cream.

And in the US, and also Mexico, I assume,

you get your nachos with everything

already piled on the chips.

Up until recently,

I thought one of the key descriptors of nachos

is that it's chips with stuff piled on it.

But in Japan, they give you chips, as you could see,

and they have, like, each ingredient in a cup,

and you can kind of mix it.

I think that is ridiculous.

This is what nachos -

I know, like, these are Taco Bell nachos.

They also have the make-your-own-taco kits,

and then they got the make-your-own-nacho kits.

Don't do that.

We call our chips Mexican chips.

And they are tortilla chips that are flavored.

Doing a complete 180,

I am very jealous that Japan has flavored tortilla chips.

I like tortilla chips just fine.

The nacho cheese at Taco Bell,

I'm gonna be honest with you, it's just OK.

But I think flavored chips with this cheese

would actually be really good.

We'll take an L on that one,

but it's the only one we've taken this whole video, so,

that's fine.

Our loaded fries in Japan are topped with beef

and cheese and sour cream.

And here in the US, our loaded fries are not existent.

Wasn't on the menu at the one I went at.
