Japanese candy is our passion, but we also love keeping up-to-date with other food events going on in Japan. For example, the beef that went on between McDonalds Tokyo and McDonalds Osaka! McDonalds held a vote to see which city had a better limited-edition burger. Tokyo's burger was a roast beef burger. Osaka's burger was a beef katsu burger.
