Probably not in Japan. Sorry.  :)  And I am sure there are a few other
countries, the point being that majority of people and countries around the
world do not use the term "French fries" and that the French really had and
have nothing to do with "frites"  The origin is in Belgium.  Sort of like
French toast originating in the States, not France either.
