Outside of Japan and China, I have never had coffee from a random cafe that wasn’t both cheaper and higher quality than Starbucks. That’s not to say Starbucks is good in China and Japan, just outside of Osaka, the average quality is not great in those countries.
I can’t reasonably do a double-blind study, but I have no connection to Osaka and it’s one of dozens of cities and towns I’ve visited or lived in across Asia.

McDonalds coffee is legit better and far cheaper. I know I’m promoting one big corp over another, but it’s true
??? We have great coffee here in Japan.
In Osaka sure, but if you pick a random place in Tokyo or Nagoya? Kinda mid.
If you pick a random place in Osaka it’ll be just as “mid” as a random place in Tokyo.
What no average food in Osaka is the best in Japan.
I know this because that’s what I did every day for like 2 months in Osaka.
Wow, you’re practically Japanese.
60 random samples is enough for statistical significance.
Escaping your own bias.
