チェーン店
Significado: A chain restaurant or franchise store — a familiar nationwide brand like Yoshinoya, Gusto, or Starbucks.
A ubiquitous part of Japanese daily life, チェーン店 refers to any chain establishment from fast food to family restaurants. Japan has an incredibly dense network of chain restaurants offering consistent quality at affordable prices. The term is used neutrally but can carry connotations of being generic or lacking character compared to 個人店 (independent shops).
Ejemplos
- 一人の時はだいたいチェーン店に入っちゃう。 一个人吃饭的时候基本都会去连锁店。Cuando estoy solo, casi siempre acabo entrando en un restaurante de cadena.혼자일 때는 대부분 체인점에 들어가게 돼.
