McDonald's menus vary all around the world, and Japan has some particularly awesome items available for consumption!

Hate on it all you want, but McDonald's food still continues to be some of the most sought-after quick meals. And not just in the U.S. McDonald's are booming around the globe, and with each new installment comes a new opportunity for McDonald's to add onto its questionably high-calorie food menu items. One such location that continues to surprise foodies with their food options is the McDonald's in Japan.
Now, if you are from Japan or have spent a considerable amount of time there, these McDonald's foods won't seem outside of the norm. But to those in other sectors of the world who have grown tired of McDonald's basic Big Mac and Oreo McFlurry, look at exotic McDonald's food selections with mouths watering.
Thinking about taking a trip to Japan? These 10 awesome McDonald's foods that you can only get in Japan just make be the motivation you need to finally book that ticket.
10 McPork This simple addition was a hit at McDonald's location in Japan. The pork patty sandwich is covered in garlic and black pepper sauce, which lettuce to add some texture. Taste testers say it is a unique blend of salty and sweet, with the size being comparable to the atypical breakfast sausage patty. The wrapper is, oddly enough, written in English so that hungry guests can easily spot the brown-plastic wrap McPork sandwich.
9 Teriyaki Burgers The Teriyaki McBurger is actually a staple in Japan. This sauced-covered meat-lovers sandwich is comparable to your typical McDouble, except instead of beef patties, this one is made with a pork patty. If you get it as-is, the patty will be dripping in sweet-tangy sauce, accompanied by mayonnaise and lettuce. As of 2019, there are even more teriyaki options at Japanese McDonalds; they also serve the Chee Chee Teriyaki McBurger, Teriyaki Chicken Fillet-O, Gran Teriyaki, and the Hee Hee Teriyaki McBurger“
8 Shrimp Filet If you already enjoy McDonald's Fish Filet, then perhaps you will be brave enough to try Japan's Shrimp Filet concoction. Seafood served as fast food institutions is already a questionable option, but there's a reason why this is on Japan's menus-- people love it! It's called the Ebi-Filet over there, and the sandwich is comprised of a shrimp-stuffed patty, topped with a delicate blend of coleslaw, nestled between two sesame seed buns.
7 German Sausage Chicken Sandwich This cultured-snack is inspired by Germany's popular mix of meats. This sandwich is seasonal in Japan McDonald's, but the anticipation is comparable to North America's McRib phenomenon.
This German-themed burger is jam-packed with a piece of fried chicken, a pork sausage patty, and a sauerkraut topping for an extra zesty flavor.
6 The Full Moon Cheese Tsukimi Burger This is another seasonal favorite only served at McDonald's in Japan. The Full Moon Cheese Tsukimi Burger is inspired by the harvest moon festival called tsukimi. This festival is held in Japan and Vietnam on August 15th according to the lunar calendar when there will be a full moon at night. So, naturally, this sandwich is only served during the autumn season.
The sandwich is simple when it comes to ingredients, but it definitely has the power to fill you up. The standard beef patty is met up with cheese and a large egg patty, which is supposed to represent the full moon.
5 Mega Muffin Talk about the breakfast of champions. Although America did away with its Super Size options, Japanese inhabitants are still putting up the challenge. This Mega McMuffin is just your standard breakfast sandwich, made with two English muffins, a sausage patty, egg, and cheese. The Mega McMuffin, is a mammoth of a sandwich are twice the size of its originator.
4 Chocolate Fries Now, let's get to the weird stuff. People are known to dunk their fries into strange dips; anything from ketchup, mayonnaise, to ice cream. Generally speaking, when it comes to fries, nothing is off limits. It seems that McDonald's in Japan wanted to test this theory by serving up chocolate french fries at their locations.
And apparently, they're a hit! The chocolate sauce will change colors depending on what holidays are coming up (green and red for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween), making them a festive treat. If you're not a chocolate fan, they also have Ume (Sour Plum) Fries, which is a sour pink mix they serve on top of McDonald's classic fries.
3 Cheesecake McFlurry If there is one thing that other countries can learn from Japan's McDonald's menu, its that cheesecake-flavored anything will always be in popular demand. Whoever thought to include a Cheesecake McFlurry onto Japan's food list needs a raise. This McFlurry is citrus and cheesecake infused ice cream blend that is only available in Miyazaki during the summer.
Now if only this delicious ice cream design would make its way to America.
2 Sankaku Choco Pie Black [img]https://i.postimg.cc/HsmZkCs9/JAPAN-Sankaku-Choco-Pie-Black.jpg[/img] There aren't many chocolate food options when it comes to McDonald's in North America. That's why Japan's Sankaku Choco Pie Black is such a hard-hitter. This flaky pastry oozes with a warm chocolate filling that is guaranteed to be the envy of any chocolate-lovers dream. The chocolate filling has a bit of almond, giving the entire dessert a unique crunchy surprise.
1 Pineapple Pie [img]https://i.postimg.cc/d1d6J5bf/JAPAN-Pineapple-Pie.jpg[/img] Move over apple pie, there's a new pastry-stuffed dessert in town. American's are partial to the gooey cinnamon and apply infused baked goods at their location McDonald's, but this pineapple pie could be a hot contender. It's made up of the same sugary sweet mold as the staple apple pie, but obviously, it has a pineappled-filled center instead. The rick pineapple filling pairs surprisingly well with the turnover. Most reviews rave that this pie is cooked to perfection, with no oily residue, and perfectly crusted ends. These Japanese locations aren't stingy about their fillings either, as this pineapple pie is said to be loaded with the hot, sweet goodness.

Damm Lennie ... You wanna talk about a giant jedi mind and stomach fugg. That seals it... Hitting Mcdonalds for sure now!!!!
In germany they served beer at McDonald's in Boeblingen and Stuttgart. Also served a crispy outer skin white brat wurst on a chewy brochen roll.
Not the best . Schwaben brau. Kinda the coors of the area. But at a decent price 20oz cup. That was 86 88 time frame
In korea they have some screwed up menu items also. Sliced sea cucumber burger comes to mind... barf....... They had a beef bulgogi burger that was good. And the american burgers But also have the korean vegetable side dishes on the menu too, of which some aint to bad.
Germans like mayo on their fries. Koreans like their version of a hot white whatever the fugg sauce it was.
Ketchup available for us ugly unrefined Americans.....
My first paycheck job was McDonalds. My manager was one of the best I ever had and taught me a lot. He would hire someone, and if they worked hard, he'd give them a raise within a month. It helped keep decent people, and the others would soon quit. I got a raise before my first paycheck. He also was no-nonsense when it came to paychecks. He staffed appropriately on payday and didn't play games with your money. In fact, one of his sayings was "The quickest way to pi$$ off someone is to mess with their money or their family." His management style was one that if you weren't in the middle of a lunch or dinner rush, you should be cleaning up or preparing for one. Couple of months later I was running my own shift. Had to be 18 for manger, but I didn't want a career at McDonalds.
Years later, I was eating my lunch at a McDonalds, and noticed it was fully and completely staffed. There were corporate type people going around and asking customers questions. A manager with a clipboard was dutifully writing down responses. When they approached my table, he asked the usual questions about quality, price, and cleanliness. His last question was if there was anything they could do to improve efficiency. I asked if he had ever worked a lunch rush when half your crew was missing. He said no, and I told him that if he had, he would figure out damn quick what the inefficiencies were. The manager with the clipboard was happily writing everything down and gave me a knowing wink.
Decent part time job for a 16 year old high school kid.
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
Reloader, Thats why I complained to the girls about the bathroom. One literally yelled at that manager after that. It sounded like he told her to clean the men's room after he spent some time in there. She refused and rightly so in THIS case. He didn't fire her because he should've been fired. I couldn't get through to a human being in corporate. Next time I saw him at a Wendy's. I walked out of there too. Never shopped there again.
I used to carry my own mug in McDonalds so I didn't get their styrofoam cups. I walked out. I make my own now and take it with me. Bought up the last of the made in USA Thermoses. I fill that or my mug after brewing in a glass french press that was manufactured in europe, so Im sure its not Chinese lead glass.

Everyone should work compulsory 1 years’ service at a mcD, wendys or BK
At wendys, if you got time to lean, you got time to clean
Today, you see employees, slapping each other, horsing around, even in front of guests, oogling at something on a phone, staring out of the window.
Trash overflowing, greasy floors, random light bulbs out, bathrooms looks like mammoth cave environment.
Inside the store during lunch rush, recommended goal time to complete an order was 15 seconds
Drive thru was 30 seconds
Funny, thing is one of the managers that was my manager when I was 16 yrs old is now the district manager. I enjoy cornering that old bitch now and letting her know her stores are crap, a disappointment and drive thru wait times are often 10 freaking minutes or more. Waited 20 minutes for a spicy chicken sandwich one day.
Guess they just had better crop of employees way back then
A guy I used to work with was eating Chinese takeout at his desk and I asked him how it was. "Terrible. Too salty and greasy, and it has an odd taste," he replied. I asked him why are you eating it?
"Sometimes you just gotta have it."
So goes McDonald's.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense. Robert Frost
Making my own saves my time, trouble, money and is the best available in town. One simple little thing that makes me a Happy camper in the morning.
Playing the nice card and giving me the Bate greeting doesn't impress me...This place is unique in that it has a high tolerance for fools...Which is the only reason you are still here.....
From the picture, it doesn't look like it would be too crowded for police to get in. Mighty brave. I would give that lady and her children free lessons after that.
Good grief! Good reason to stay out of there. Good reason to learn how to break the bones of the bad guys too.
What is wrong with those people? Just yesterday there was a report in town of a dude pulled a knife on someone over a mask.
McDonald's or any restaurant with a deep fryer, griddle or a char broiler. Commercial cookeries are filthy, and are wrecking our bodies and minds, Take a bag lunch and smarten up. Beef is not the problem, beef fat is not the problem. The gooey stuff they cook it on or in is, imo
