I’m sure because the first time I’d been there they said “welcome in” and showed my wife and I how to use the vending machine as it was a little non-standard even for Japanese people, then referenced that when we came back the 1.5 years later when we gave our order tickets over.
I DID wear a green backpack and red hoodie combo during our Japan trips, so it’s likely tall white guy + red hoodie + green backpack was enough to remember us, but it’s still impressive to me

I worked as a waiter for years when I was in college and did randomly remember people like that who stood out for whatever reason.
I’m laughing here because we had one particularly difficult British guy one time and when he ordered a cheese plate at the end of his meal our lovely French dessert chef arranged the selection as a smiley face. It was INCREDIBLE.
There was some debate in the kitchen. I delivered it. He smiled in fairness.
