This Was the Crazy-Long Line to Get Into Tokyo’s New Taco Bell

Taco Bell left Japan in the ‘80s, but Doritofied Tex-Mex-ish food made its triumphant return
to the country yesterday with the opening of a much-hyped new Taco Bell
in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo’s equivalent of Times Square. Taco Bell
International president Melissa Lora tells the Japan Times the
brand felt 2015 was finally the year to head back because of “social
media and all the focus on new, interesting foods that are in the world
today.” (Many of which, of course, are owed to Taco Bell’s overworked R&D department.)
You
have to hand it to the Bell. The powers-that-be tend to know what
works, and based on the massive lines that formed outside Tokyo’s new
Taco Bell, the move is looking like yet another success — people just
can’t wait to try shrimp-and-avocado burritos, apparently.
