      ​@@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.

The only real exemption is probably the Nordic countries and Greenland and Iceland (cause they’re just so dang expensive).

    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 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.

  • @wotnvideos
    @wotnvideos ปีที่แล้ว +250

    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 actually like the sausage biscuit with egg. McDonald's hashbrowns are also a guilty pleasure. I do find that McDonalds for breakfast doesn't leave me feeling very good. 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.

    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.😉

A lot of the ground meat in supermarkets is mixed beef/pork. Pork is more popular and readily available, as well as cheaper. Also often mixes better with some of the japanese flavors like the teriyaki sauce on the burger etc.

    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.

      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.
