Based on cultural differences, it is possible that the Japanese would feel a stronger sense of obligation to choose a dish that their friends would enjoy, even if they themselves did not prefer it. On the other hand, North Americans may prioritize their own preferences when making a choice for themselves. Therefore, it is likely that the Japanese would end up liking the dish they picked for their friends more than the one they picked for themselves, while North Americans would feel this way about the dish they chose for themselves.
