On the menu for Trump in Tokyo: American burgers and a chocolate sundae
- Share via
Donald Trump recently visited Japan, where he spoke to U.S. troops at Yokota Air Base and played golf with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at Kasumigaseki Country Club. Before their match, the president ate a well done, all-American beef burger brought in from chain restaurant Minato’s Burger Shack, according to Mashable.
“We sincerely welcome President Trump on his visit to Japan! We’re getting down to business right away over hamburgers,” Abe wrote on Twitter.
For dinner, the president and first lady met with Abe and his wife for dinner at Ginza Ukai Tei, a gourmet chain popular for its hibachi-style cooking. According to Bloomberg, the president’s dinner party was served a special menu, which included grilled Hokkaido scallop, the restaurant’s “best quality” steak, and a chocolate sundae.
Meanwhile, a spoof Twitter account made fun of the president’s food choices by tweeting out a fake hotel rider for the Asia trip including six tubs of Philadelphia cream cheese, three boxes of Slim Jims, and 18 gallons of “half chilled” Mountain Dew.
