I’m not talking about the “typical” junk food (like KFC or McDonalds), instead it’s more on certain aspects of Japanese cuisine being carb heavy or features fried items such as: ramen, agepan, karage, tempura, gyudon, tonkatsu, yakitori, etc. I mean, can ramen or gyudon bowls still be deemed “fast food” even though they appear ‘healthier’ than American fast food.
Totally depends on how long it takes to make and serve. If a place could somehow deliver beef Wellington to you in 2 minutes at a drive-thru window, I would call it fast food, but this would not redefine all beef Wellington as fast food. You’re conflating “fast” and “junk”.
