Ibara is a shoot 'em up series. Only in Japan. Yoshinoya is a fast food restaurant chain that originated in Japan. It DOES exist in America, but I'm guessing only in a few major cities. There is a DS game, I think, based on running a Yoshinoya restaurant. I have no idea how it plays. Hashiriya knows.
The Yoshinoyas in America are horrible. The only thing in common American Yoshinoyas and ones in Japan have are the name and the beef bowl. Everything else on the American menu is some abomination of Hawaiian BBQ. They use non-sticky rice (SACRILEGE!), the onions are hard and undercooked and the "juice" they cook the beef in is just brown water of some sort. If you ever see one in the States, avoid it. There is one about 3 miles from where I work, but I never go there.
As far as I know, there are no Yoshinoya games other than the PS2 one. I know there is a not-for-sale DS "game" that they give to new recruits at McDonalds to train them, but that is nowhere near Yoshigyu. Perhaps there is a game like you mentioned, but for some made-up restaurant.
Oh, I just remember seeing it somewhere. It was probably the PS2 game.
I'll take your advice and not go to any US Yoshinoya. One thing I have discovered..j Japanese and Korean food here is... well, pretty much crap.
I saw a Yoshinoya in Shanghai, but I didn't bother to try it. I'm more of a Matsuya guy anyway.
Matsuya?! They get points for being cheap, but Yoshinoya and Sukiya beat em hands-down, heh heh. Anyhoo, I have eaten Yoshinoya in Shanghai (Nanjing Road) and Beijing (inside some mall). It wasn't bad at all, much better than American Yoshigyu.

I don't understand why people already deemed this idea a bad one. We all want to see a Panzer Dragoon game on the Wii. Hell, Racket even posted an entry on it. I think that a Kinect version (which would likely be the same as the Wii-version, just without the Wii-Mote) could work.
