A Japanese vlogger has gone viral after posting an extremely positive review of a Wetherspoons' full English breakfast, with only one thing he didn't like.
Daichi Ishizawa, in his 20s, often travels to the UK to review cultural and consumer institutions. His latest video has garnered a lot of attention following his visit to a Wetherspoons pub.
Daichi ordered a traditional breakfast with a cup of tea at The Welkin in Liverpool. He made sure to review each item in detail.

Speaking in Japanese, with English subtitles featured in the video, he took a sip of the tea and said he enjoyed it because it "warms him up". He then moved onto the sausage, dipped with brown sauce, and exclaimed: "OMG it's so good", while comparing them to Japanese sausages which aren't as crispy as the British ones.
Then it was onto the bacon, with Daichi stating that UK meat "is always good - especially the chicken". He then described the hash browns as "awesome" while finishing off the beans and fried egg with a satisfying lick of his lips.
However, Daichi wasn't pleased with everything on the menu. He claimed that the black pudding was "not good". Daichi, originally from Motomiya in the Fukushima prefecture, Japan, said: "My ex-girlfriend from the UK told me that Wetherspoons was the place she wanted to take me to the most in the UK.
"She used to tell me about it so I knew the name for a long time. My favourite things about Wetherspoons are first, the prices, second, the quality and thirdly, the mobile order system.
"Especially prices and quality are really good, some people told me it's frozen food, but it's still so good. Also, I can feel something like British spirit and culture from the pub, that I can't experience at McDonald's, Subway or anything like American food chains."
Daichi, who is based in Liverpool, but often travels the rest of the UK for his vlog, says 'Spoons, like other British pubs, has an atmosphere that can't be found in Japan. He added: "When it comes to prices and food quality, we have similar things in Japan, and maybe other countries have too, but we can't copy the atmosphere and I liked it so much."
He added: "My vlog is about comparing the UK and Japanese culture, but mostly I just enjoy British food though. Also, I wanna tell British people which Japanese restaurants are authentic.
"I want to be a person who spreads good things about the UK to Japanese people."
