​@@snausages43 Correct, and not just from Spain. I remember back in 2019, there was an event wherein McDonald's brought in some of their menu items from around the world, including a couple of burgers from Australia and Spain, and a McFlurry from outside the U.S. (I don't remember where from, sorry guys). I remember trying one of the two burgers and thinking it was such a pity that these items weren't there to stay, because it was pretty good. I also live in San Jose, which is a major California city, in the San Francisco Bay Area, so it would make sense that the promotion would be there, in addition to other densely-populated cities.

I lived in Japan for a year, here's what I want to add: the names of the chicken sandwiches in Japan are so good that they should be adopted by Mcdonalds worldwide. These are Spachiki (spicy chicken) and Chikichi (chicken cheese). Try to say these words out loud, they are simply fun.

[@f8widescat392]

Only a year?

[@NoahCross1]

​@@f8widescat392 you know that philosophy thing where you can't step into the same river twice? Things in Japan are like that. The only condiments that are a permanent fixture on the menu are ketchup and mustard, all other condiments just changes every two weeks or so whether they're good or bad (same as with the Kit Kats and many other products in Japan, you just can't get too attached.) Because Japan is always changing like that, a year seems like you've just seen one cycle of something much bigger.

I was in the US Navy. Was stationed in Guam and my ship spent a lot of time in Japan between 1997-99. I love the teriyaki burger and Fanta Melon. Really wish the US McDonalds would add them to the menu.

[@wotnvideos]

It's hard to compare Japan's menu to other countries' because they always have "seasonal" limited menu items that's rotated every 2-3 months. And we did use to have quarter pounders here, they removed them from the menu and replaced them with a different, smaller "high end" type burger, the name of which is slipping my mind at the moment. That type of burger also ended up being removed some time later. They seem to mostly focus on low price items now, and they also have a thing where you can double the number of patties on any burger for 100 yen for people who want something bigger. My personal Japan-exclusive favourite is the egg cheese, but I order it without pickles and ketchup and add my own Sriracha mayonnaise.

I also don't feel like "dry" does American biscuits justice in general. Dry on the outside, fluffy on the inside, tangy buttermilk flavor, and they lend themselves to a lot of other flavors. They can't be too soft and fluffy, cause they're made to go with gravy, butter, and very rich meats like sausage and fried chicken.

[@tylersmith8045]

Japan has anywhere from 1-3 special burgers on their menu at a time. Some are absolutely delicious, others kinda weird. Not a huge fan of the teriyaki stuff but their Ebi- shrimp burger is addicting- they just had a garlic shrimp variation this last month. Had a limited time menu item this morning- the cheese locomoco muffin (mcmuffin) and i think it beats out the Mega mentioned in this video as the best breakfast sandwich. Mcdonalds is currently much cheaper than when this video was made as the yen has fallen. I. Can get a meal for about $5. Overall, the quality is very good at mcdonalds japan, far surpassing quality in the states. However, no free refills and you have to ask for small dipping packets of ketchup.

I recommend going to McDonald's in Japan at night. At night, you can double the patty for an extra 100 yen. Now it is only $0.7 because of the weak yen. If you get a Double Cheeseburger or a Big Mac, you get 4 patties. Wow!🎉 Also, I prefer the Teriyaki Chicken Burger to the Teriyaki Burger. This burger also has double patty at night. Samurai Mac is not included because it has a different patty, but it is definitely tastier than the regular patty, so of course I recommend that as well. Give it a try.😉

When I lived in Japan about 17 years ago, MacDonald's had a burger called the McGrand. It had a creamy Dijon mustard sauce and a thick beef patty along with lettuce, tomatoes, and so on. It was so good that I still think about it occasionally. I was really disappointed when I moved back to Canada and it wasn't on the menu here.

Whenever I visited family in Japan, I'd grab a Teriyaki burger at the airport on my way back to the US. I associate teriyaki burgers with the bittersweet end of vacations and saying bye to family. The stuff tasted so good and so sad at the same time.

Canada has a sort of fickle relationship with the metric system. Temperature, mostly metric. Weight, mostly imperial. At least in my experience.

A lot of the menu items in Japanese Mcdonalds change frequently because they're always trying new things. Short term, innovative novelty items sell well in Japan.

[@ronnieholland7725]

Mcd in Japan makes our McDonald's look like garbage food I tried it and my gosh so much better

[@nanamiez]

as someone who lives in japan = youre right! the japanese always try new things according to the season we're in (fall, winter, halloween, christmas etc)

[@oliviaaugust3291]

actually the mcdonalds canada menu does the same!

[@user-sh6ew6ff3b]

Led me to think

[@floraflowers]

That's also something I noticed between the two countries I've lived in. My home country also changes the menu frequently because they add limited or seasonal items on it, whereas the menu in Germany has very much stayed the same. If they introduce something and it does well, they'll make it a permanent item but that happens very rarely. Oftentimes they'll just bring back items that have done fairly good but it's nothing like a novelty food. The best example would be the spicy nuggets.

[@AmandaMakiStar]

As a current (also by the time this video was recorded, i bet around july this year bcuz of the limited hawaiian edition burgers) employee at one of the McDonalds in Japan, I would like to give some heads up about people who's interested on trying the Japanese mcdonalds: - We have a scale for checking out the weight of the fries (but no one actually uses that besides training, since the store is busy, and the more you make fries, the more used to the weight u get) so, idk about the US but based on the look, I guess there was some fries missing in the american pack (I GUESS the large wouldn't be the same weight than the japanese one. but again, idk about american rules); - The "mayo" in teriyaki mcburger is actually called "lemon mayo" sauce, which some customers doesn't really like; - The Egg cheese burger, is the basic Cheese burger + egg; - we also have "mc chicken" in Japan, and it's called "chicken crisp" and coasts about 2$ (200yen) (but we also have a better quality chicken, the 'chicken fillet-o'); - the salad actually we can pick the dressing: the sesame one, or the onion one (which is personally my fave); - "bai" burgers (or what we also call "yoru mc" aka "night mc") are available from 5pm, not 5:30pm and it only applies for regular burgers (not limited edition burgers, neither samurai series burger) AND as of this moment (I say it bcuz there's a whole bunch of limited stuff in Japan) we have something called "PoteNage" (as he mentioned, japanese LOVES to abreviate stuff) which stands for "potatos+nuggets" aka "poteto+nageto" in japanese and for 500yen (about 5$) u can get 2packs of 5pieces nuggies + 1Large fries, OR for 800yen (8$) u can get 15nuggies + 2Large fries. Something that I found particularly interesting is that there's pickles all over the place in the american burgers. In the japanese, most likely we'll have lettuce (the chicken crisp is basically the yellow mayo sauce, lettuce and the chicken. no pickles) and some burgers that has pickles and/or onions, the customers usually asks to take it off.
