I find it that they tend to overcook the beef patties in the USA - resulting in a drier texture and a charred taste that overpowers the beefier flavor one gets in Japan. As for the apple pie, you'll have to go to Hawaii to get the fried type. My wife and I were so disappointed when McDonald's introduced the baked version that we never order it anymore in the States.

that is a great observation, maybe that is why i noticed the beef flavor so much more in the Japnaese big mac than i did in the US. I had never tried the baked apple pie before that day but I had heard many bad things about it. so I was happy to try for myself but won't be getting it again.
Really! Apple pies are that much different! The list of cost at the same restaurants in US v.s. JPN is interesting comparison. I wonder which one of American chain restaurants in Japan or Japanese chain restaurants in USA cost more in abroad. Which price bounce up more...

yes, the apple pies were completely different. obviously neither is healthy but if i'm going to get a dessert I want something that tastes good. the fried apple pie is far superior in taste! I don't kow which is most expensive that's agood question
Wow! Chris, you did great job! So interesting to see what that how different the MacDonald between Japan and US. Size wise is understandable coz human size is different as same as you and Gin ;) Honey mustard is very different! Karashi looks is actually very Japanese. Good point to see. We thought MacDonald recipe is world standard but slightly different in the country is very interesting. I'm living in NZ, missing limited seasonal option of Japan... Gurakoro... Here has limited option which is cold Kiwi Barger. Would you like to try it??? :)

thanks for the kind words. yes i expected it all to taste about the same but there were quite a lot of differences. I would try the kiwi burger. i looked it up and it didn't sound like my favorite food combinations but I am open to trying ost things and not deciding about them before I have tried it. Why is it cold?
We never eat at McDonald’s here but only in Japan. We both like the teriyaki burger. My husband loves the egg cheeseburger and I like the shrimp sandwich. As for apple pie, I’ll get it at Ringo.

teriyaki burger is nice and i love egg on a burger and Gin loves anything shrimp. You can't go wrong going to a place that specializes in pies!
