A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Well, what is the alternative? Not eat? It may not be a problem in bigger cities but smaller ones it probably is (but i have never been to japan so idk)
I don't see the problem? Even smaller towns usually have a convenience store, so you're probably not going to starve.
The alternative isn’t hyperbolic starvation, it’s to go to a different restaurant, or even one of their famous 7-Eleven shops. Barring a medical condition there’s nothing but some minor discomfort for the vast majority of us if you miss a meal. Obviously your poor planning for mealtimes isn’t an emergency on their part, but you’re welcome to try the restaurant in this situation. They may serve you and they may treat you coldly or offer the least service, or, they may not serve you, or even ask you to leave. But the sign is there for a reason.
What does this even mean with regards to a tourist staying in a tiny hotel room? How much grocery shopping and meal preparation of their own are you expecting tourists to engage in?!
Your response in general is crazy. "If they won't serve you, just don't eat."
"If Kim Davis won't give you a marriage license, just don't get married." "If the school bars your children from attending, just don't send them to school."
I’m sorry you took it as personal, but you seem to be making this whole event surround your hypothetical ineptitude and personal inconvenience. Plan to eat. If you can’t, don’t expect sympathy. Christ, it’s like you expect to be catered to and spoon fed as a tourist. I’ve spent many a tourist evening having food like bread and cheese from the grocery store or convenience shop because there were no restaurant seats to be had. Grow up. That’s life.
I'm not sure what you think it means to take things personally? None of my response had anything to do with my personal experience in life.
And I could provide some! I've been on a road trip through the Spanish countryside where I was scoffed at and waved away at 3-4 restaurants for asking (as someone with Celiac!) if they had comida sin gluten. So I've definitely gone hungry as a tourist before. Didn't love it! Wouldn't recommend rural Southern Spain to anyone with Celiac!
I've done the bread and cheese thing in Paris back when I could eat bread. It was fine, you know, since I didn't have to go hungry.
Due to logic like yours, I guess the most rational thing is to recommend against visiting Japan for anyone who isn't Japanese? Or Japanese speaking at least. Save your money, folks!
