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. So, this past month customers would chime in with their opinion and the results are out!
The winner, Osaka!! McDonald Osaka beat out McDonald Tokyo with a total of 51% of the votes. It was a close fight, but it seems the beef katsu was the winner! Secretly, we were rooting for the beef katsu as well! Better luck next time, McDonald Tokyo!
But, what is the reward for the winning burger? From August 22nd to September 5th, it will be sold across Japan at a discounted price! So, this benefits everyone rooting for the katsu burger!
It was a fierce fight for the burger crown. Many people cheered for McDonalds Tokyo. However, McDonalds Osaka came from behind and took the win! Well, we are excited to pair this burger with some delicious Japanese snacks during an office lunch break!
So, which team were you rooting for? Let us know in the comments below!
The world loves Pringles, especially Japan! Besides the classic seasonings everyone knows and loves, this country has created flavors that are difficult to find anywhere else.
Japanese cuisine is famous for its fresh seafood, and shrimp is one of its star ingredients. These dishes–including ebi nigiri–have been enjoyed for centuries, with chefs perfecting their techniques to create perfect flavors. If you love shrimp, these Japanese dishes should be on your must-try list!
Ponzu sauce is like the zesty, tangy cousin of soy sauce—it makes everything it touches pop with flavor! It originates from Japan and is a mix of citrus, soy sauce, and sometimes vinegar or seaweed. This balanced salty, sweet, and sour combo can elevate any dish.
If you love stunning cityscapes, you’re in for a treat! Japan has plenty of nightscape spots because mountains surround the cities. Sumida City in Tokyo is just the beginning of Japan’s night-view magic.
Japan is home to an incredible variety of snacks. One of the most beloved treats is potato chips, enjoyed by kids and adults. The flavors are just as diverse, ranging from rare tastes like black truffle to classic ones that have become a signature of Japanese cuisine.
