>>12248473Japan was shithole back in day. It wasn't tourist destination. More importantly. Its food culture wasn't what it's today.
And their eating habits are diffrent from west. They favor small meals. I think breakfast is still highest meal most of them eat.
Back in 70s and 80s. When wrestlers went to tour Japan. What they encountered was towns that didn't have any western style restaurants or fast food. Instead places where you got small portion of food. They were left famished.
That's where ribera became thing. It was only stakehouse around.
When ever tour landed on Tokyo. Non japanes wrestlers would flog it to get their bellies full.
Its not about quality. It was just place that was there when guys like Andre the giant were hungry.
