      ​@@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.

Because Japan is always changing like that, a year seems like you've just seen one cycle of something much bigger.

      Well, in his defense, grape isn't the most popular flavor of soda here. At least not in the Midwest. For example, I can always find Orange Crush, but Grape Crush is nowhere to be seen. Going into a convenience store, there's nearly every flavor imaginable of different sodas... except grape. Now, you can find grape Koolaid and grape juice pouches and, of course, grape juice. But no grape soda. Or at least not that often.

    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.

      Hi, I'm in Japan. We have the basics like Big Mac and double cheeseburger etc with beef, but 100% beef is more rare, more expensive as well. 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.

    As a former McDonald's employee, a few things to note. I worked in a McDonald's in Oklahoma.
    The eggs; the folded ones you typically get are frozen and slapped on a grill. We do have legit eggs too, they are on like the egg McMuffin. However the egg white delights are poured from a carton of just egg whites.
    Also in Oklahoma anyways, we had parfaits, bagels, ànd biscuits and gravy. Which really broke my heart when I moved to Oregon to find out that you can't get those everywhere. Also I believe they stopped their oatmeal raisin cookies, another heartbreak truly.

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.

    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 used to work as a manager at McDonald’s in Canada and I also travel to Japan often so when I do get McDonald’s in Japan, I often like to try something different there.
    It’s been a few years since I last went (partly due to Covid…), but I tried the locomoco burger and Hawaii blue drink and both were pretty good.
    Oh and the teriyaki burgers are pretty good.

    I 1000% want a coffee McFloat!
    Here in Canada we also have the Quarter Pounder burgers.

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

    Nothing in an American McDonalds is “for health” 🤣 it’s shockingly sad how few times I’ve seen Fanta Grape in America (thank you Shake Shack for your Purple Cow Floats ♥️) Love this new series!

      Any fast food is never healthy in general even if it has some a bit more healthy options (like japan mc), if you look at it carefully its actually still unhealthy.

    I'm from America, but live in Japan. This is so weird to watch, lol. I'm proud of Japanese McDonald's (ebi burger is amazing), but I miss things from back home (I'm looking at you quarter pounder & fruit smoothies). Also, those BTS sauces were amazing! Welcome George! お疲れ様でした!
    If you ever do a Wendy's episode, there are going to be so many Japan exclusives.

    Those pop open sauce packets are hands down the most hi tech sauce packets I've ever seen.

    The Japanese packaging is cute. I’m also surprised Mcfloats aren’t a thing here. But the ice cream machines are always down, so maybe that’s a factor.

    I am Japanese. All the McDonald's products in the U.S. look very powerful and delicious. I like American movies, American food, and cityscapes very much, so I would like to visit this country someday. McDonald's in Japan seems smaller than in the U.S., but I too love their limited time offerings.
    In particular, I highly recommend the moon-viewing burger(tsukimi burger), which is released around September and is very good.
