Anybody else planning on hitting the In-N-Out pop-up shop at Ebisu Goblin today (Wed June 7)?

I’m going… I’ve gone to Tokyo for stupider excuses before..

  1. You may also want to try asking in /r/Tokyo.

  2. No issues going to these things, so enjoy – but.. it’ll be queues and queues… 🙂

  3. I got downvoted to the abyss on r/tokyo for saying this, but: the fact their pop-up store only opens on one day (and apparently just a few hours) instead of few weeks feels like PR stunt maximization.

    I’d have considered going if it weren’t for feeling like a tool in an artificially long line so that photos of “omg Japanese people line HOURS for in and out” can be shared over social media.

    Nevertheless, hope it’s fun and you enjoy your burger!

  4. I saw a Japanese Twitter user say that last time In n Out did this they were sold out in 15 minutes. Better get there early or you’ll be wasting your time

  5. Saw on Twitter to get there early (maybe now or sooner) and they’re giving out wristbands that guarantee your entry.

  6. If I knew about it farther in advance I would. I see hamburgers are catching on in Japan, two new shops opened up near me.

  7. Rode past on my bike around 8:30am and there were already like 15-20 people camped out in front so if you aren’t already there it’s probably a lost cause?

  8. No, but I’m in Okinawa. If I was there I definitely would go though. Haven’t had In-N-Out in over 5 years

  9. Walked by just now and it’s insane. Hundreds in line stretching down and around the block. Likely impossible unless you were there hours early.

  10. The cue of people is already outrageous.
    I highly doubt they have enough food for everyone in the line. I think a lot of us will be lining up for 1 or more hours, then will get ask to leave because すみません売り切れました。
    Or maybe we are luky enough that 10 minuts after opening they are sold out and no more time is wasted.
    Let’s see what happens first o/

  11. Does anyone remember the long lines for Krispy Kreme when it first came to Tokyo? I was shocked at how long the lines were at the Shinjuku Southern Terrace shop when I walked by – just for a donut. It took a while for Japanese to lose interest. I can’t imagine waiting in line for hours just to get a hamburger or donut.
