I don't believe this is true. Quite the opposite in fact. I have a
friend I met in college in 1975. He spent a number of years in Japan
as a US military dependant. His comment was that McDonald's moving
into Japan was the best thing that ever happened to hamburgers there.

He says that prior to this, it was the Japanese burger joints that 
cooked their hamburgers in fish oil, which according to him, made them 
taste "fishy". Since McDonald's used a different oil, the taste was 
much better.

He also mentioned the problem of being a tall American teen-ager
being crammed onto Japanese subway cars where all the short Japanese
women were carrying umbrellas. :-)
