[Music] I got your attention so good afternoonÂ
everyone and welcome to Tokyo here in Japan Â
weâre currently on a really busy road but todayÂ
weâre going to try McDonaldâs here in Japan and Â
see how it compares to English McDonaldâs EnglishÂ
um English weâre currently in Harajuku we just on Â
a really busy street I canât actually rememberÂ
what it was called um but itâs really touristy Â
here and very busy for a Thursday afternoon asÂ
you can see like streets are packed here they Â
have so many creps here in Harajuku as wellÂ
I donât know if itâs like yeah theyâve got so Â
many crep shars and weâre going to get one asÂ
well at some point but this is a video today Â
about McDonaldâs just McDonaldâs uh we did walkÂ
past the McDonaldâs the other day and we looked Â
at the menu and it looked insane so weâre goingÂ
to do a full comparison today check out some of Â
the items on the menu and see what it tastes likeÂ
so come and join us as we check out the Japanese
McDonaldâs [Music] now I donât know whyÂ
but this street is so busy and itâs doing Â
my [Â __Â ] edit itâs so long like soÂ
many people here and itâs taking us
about yeah itâs taking us about half anÂ
hour just to walk about 500 M because Â
itâs just like constant stopping andÂ
Iâm really unsure why I think people Â
are just taking their time to kind ofÂ
appreciate all the shops and stuff yeah Â
itâs a really Narrow Street and blows ofÂ
people and itâs really winding me up just Â
want to get to McDonaldâs itâs only overÂ
there and itâs taken us so long this is Â
crazy actually yeah I donât know why is thisÂ
busy that through God knows slow people slow
Walkers doesnât H that weâre hungry

arches weâve managed to dodge that crowd I donât Â
know what all thatâs about to be honest likeÂ
thereâs so many people there and itâs not even Â
as if like because a specific reason but I donâtÂ
know maybe itâs just like a really popular Market Â
Street um look how quick weâre walking now weâreÂ
so hungry I think itâs just cuz itâs narrow and Â
there is actually so many interesting shops onÂ
this street yeah to be fair you donât have every Â
time I was quite amazed yeah but they have likeÂ
Frozen popcorn what does that mean oh right itâs Â
here here we go here we go here we go Iâm hopingÂ
that thereâs kiosks here CU if thereâs not oh yeah Â

to a total 2,650 which works out to be uh ÂŁ 13Â Â
which is not bad actually 13 quid some EnglishÂ
prizes really yeah right the next challenge is Â
finding a place to sit oh right down here thereÂ
we go loads of seats free you go here yeah
nice so then itâs just arrived and the veryÂ
first thing that stands out to me is the the Â
wrapping and the packaging on these look at thatÂ
itâs like secure Blossom on there even on this Â
look oh my god look how cool it looks got RedsÂ
you got green yeah oh God that that looks like Â
pure sugar that doesnât it doesnât it right thenÂ
so what is what um thatâs theie weâll save that Â
to the last thatâs whatâs this one in here thenÂ
we have churos in there so weâll save them to Â
last as well they can go to one side yeah I canâtÂ
remember what weâve ordered whatâs this one uh IÂ Â
canât actually read Japanese so Iâm not too sureÂ
that looks to me oh thatâs the uh mashed potato Â
one thatâs my one and then this is the what theÂ
Cherry of the chick it oh yeah right then I mean Â
letâs not hang around letâs get straight into itÂ
teriyaki chicken give it a taste test they smell
unreal that is menil yeah
thatâs that unreal it go thisÂ
is so exciting itâs a Christmas Â
never ever had a terak and chicken burger before
so let me know what you think
thinkink how good is it nice is itÂ
mhm that sauce tastes incredible Â
as you can see itâs just like pureÂ
covered in teraki sauce and oh my Â
God they have that in the UK mhmÂ
everyone e yeah [Music] unreal so
good this one I canât remember what this was oh Â
yeah what have you gone forÂ
it was on there should be
um s sauce BT thick set donât know whatÂ
that means this is basically bacon tomato Â
oh soy sauce it was soy wasnât itÂ
oh yeah like a beef like a beef soy Â
sauce beef burger with bacon the bacon andÂ
tomato and lettuce soy sauce beef burger
BLT M oh my God so good is itÂ
good is it m M thatâs amazing Â
only thing with these Burgers isÂ
there you literally make them M
righty never had a soy sauceÂ
beef burger with bacon before
so oh that is nice I thought the soy would beÂ
really overpowering but itâs not you can barely Â
taste the soy at all itâs just like a nice hintÂ
so good and then right then we will try this one Â
so this is the most interesting one I personallyÂ
think so we got beef burger egg and mashed potato Â
the top there as well apparently so is it heyÂ
so seaweed huh seaweed wasnât it seaweed Mash Â
was it oh yeah okay yeah so sorry M there soÂ
itâs like seaweed B based mash um right oh
fishy give of a go
oh itâs so messy what your thoughts I like itÂ
honestly it just doesnât really taste that much to Â
be honest you can taste the egg and a bit of theÂ
beef but you canât really taste much of the match Â
to be honest I donât think anyway I just donâtÂ
really think thatâs too going on there really is
there no Iâm not a fan of that so I probablyÂ
wouldnât go for it again purely because I IÂ Â
donât I donât com yeah I donât not like itÂ
but I donât really like it if that makes Â
sense like itâs not I will eat it cuz IÂ
bought it but I donât know itâs just a Â
bit Iâm not sure sure it goes Iâll stillÂ
e it obviously um the next thing I want Â
to try is this drink now this honestly looksÂ
like if you ever watch The Simpsons and you Â
see that radioactive stuff in The SimpsonsÂ
itâs that color doesnât look very appetizing
but doesnât actually taste too bad to be
fair oh itâs quite nice itâs sÂ
sugary tastes like pure sugar
but itâs not too bad tastes betterÂ
than it looks I donât actually like Â
grape so thatâs all bests about melonÂ
yeah I canât stand grape flavor stuff Â
see how it tastes is it strong is itÂ
nice I like that really itâs like like Â
sweet it tastes like I Iâll Iâll give itÂ
a go cuz Iâm intrigued but thatâs is it
good n thatâs everything I donâtÂ
like in a great N I donât like it Â
right then letâs give these fries a goÂ
I assume these fries probably taste the
same they taste like that ever so smallestÂ
bit different and in a good way I feel like Â
they might actually be nicer than ones weÂ
get in the UK they just taste a little bit Â
different and theyâre really good actually IÂ
got that I mean so far so far I think Japan Â
actually wins the best McDonaldâs that weâ haveÂ
trapping yeah so previously it was India and now Â
I think Japan actually takes a top spot terakiÂ
chicken burgers better fries Iâm yet to Chuck Â
into a churos weâll do them last more ChoiceÂ
as well like maybe more Choice with the beef Â
boats not so much chicken burgers but really goodÂ
really nice flavors so far absolutely loving it
good right then so that is pretty much the mains Â
all done and dusted weâre now going toÂ
go for the desserts so first St is the
churos m theyâre like chocolateÂ
filled in the middle like theyâre Â
still warm so theyâre quiteÂ
like melted and theyâre very
nice do you like them or
no Iâm not really a fan of the doughy theyâre aÂ
bit like hard my CH that is my favorite bit though Â
I actually really love these they T nice yeah IÂ
just probably wouldnât order them again and then Â
the star of the dessert show is this moi whatÂ
was it mchi matchi matchi pie p thing now Iâve Â
never heard of this before never seen it beforeÂ
so first time itâs green and itâs green looks very
Japanese it works oh look at that it tast Iâm notÂ
sure but it works itâs nice flavor like the rice Â
yeah uh kind of I donât know how to describe itÂ
but is really nice oh a chocolate in it Iâm not Â
sure oh thatâs good thatâs actually really niceÂ
hot very hot whatâ you think youâre not a [Music]
fan is it licorice no I donât thinkÂ
so it shouldnât be no not licorice Â
definitely not no that black be 100% noÂ
it is no itâs not what is it called it
is is Iâm sure maybe whatâs itÂ
called I canât what the other word
fored yeah itâs got really weird hint of likeÂ
licorice youâre not wrong but itâs not enough Â
put me off I really like it yeah Iâm a fan yeahÂ
so definitely grab on these if you come here and Â
these churos are also really nice and I gotÂ
some food AR make a right mess of it um yeah Â
I mean overall Iâm thoroughly impressed I reallyÂ
enjoyed this the burgers are unreal the chips are Â
even nicer in the UK and thatâs like I neverÂ
thought Iâd say that desserts are good um and Â
that melon drinks all right but I wouldnât chooseÂ
it again we bit sickly yeah yeah bit sickly but Â
I really like yeah I mean Japanese McDonaldâs 10Â
out of 10 unreal so good better than UK thatâs for
sure okay then so thatâs the McDonaldâs done weâreÂ
now going to come here for actual pudding dessert Â
I donât know where I get a bit confused whereÂ
mhm itâs clearly a very popular place cuz this Â
is a queue um and everyone stood around here withÂ
them so they must be good uh Mar and creps what Â
they called Peery from Haruki since 1976 I theyÂ
might have been yeah maybe the longest standing Â
ones than maybe there so many CP shops yeah thereÂ
is a lot of CP shops um yeah hopefully itâs nice Â
I say itâs a big old quue so not sure how wasÂ
going to T to get Iâve got cash anyway so m IÂ Â
want to get a Nutella Nutella and strawberry areÂ
you now well there is a big like um cabinet here Â
with all the different ones so once we walk pastÂ
that in the queue Iâll show you what we can get Â
um smells good though smells really good and theÂ
really good thing about these is the fact that a Â
lot we have a lot of places in Japan they do thisÂ
thing where you can see the food and like I guess Â
itâs like plastic um and they show display whatÂ
the food is going to be like before you order it Â
which is really helpful especially For TouristsÂ
um which one you going to go for Iâm going to go Â
for uh I think itâs over there the chocolate iceÂ
cream strawberry chocolate ice cream strawberry Â
but what I think is really weird here is they doÂ
a uh chuna cheese curry now tuna Curry and cheese Â
in a CP is just absolute noo I donât know why theyÂ
do that thatâs the weirdest thing Iâve seen crab Â
yeah but the rest of them look really good youÂ
can get even cheesecake with ice cream banana Â
Nutella you quite literally oh yeah thatâs theÂ
one I want you can quite literally get slav cake Â
yeah like a full-on slab of Cheesecake oh yeahÂ
brownie brownie ice cream banana cream all in a Â
crap banana almond brownie chocolate ice creamÂ
whipped cream insane All For Less than4 thatâs
incredible
pleas excited
yeah look at this there we go look at that badÂ
boy weâve got strawberry cream ice cream what Â
Happ just that yeah I think so itâs nice and warmÂ
so that came to 640 was it 640 uh 640 Yen 630 Yen Â
which worked out to be about3 which is not badÂ
at all really if you bought that in London youâd Â
probably be paying about 9 so got a bit of prepÂ
as well you take a bite and add this in as well Â
you need the flavors at once M mental in it yeahÂ
thatâs nice is not hungry so heâs only having two Â
bites so weâll see thatâs cuz beâs going to finishÂ
all off by herself arenât you be how would you Â
rate this up to 10 I mean I havenât really gotÂ
this is a good bit yet but Iâd say eight eight Â
out 10 that is strong so then I believe thatÂ
pretty much wraps up our day here today the Â
mcdonal is incredible and this I mean if youâreÂ
in this area of Tokyo you can get creps anywhere Â
we just thought weâd go to Mar and creps becauseÂ
we saw loads of photos of it and it was close to Â
McDonald so yeah I mean full stomach happy andÂ
weâve got a crap in hand to see up a day as we Â
get back to our hotel so thank you very muchÂ
for watching and weâll see you in the next one

Takeshita is all tourists, no locals. That's why it's crowded.

TBH, fast food in Asia is so much better than in Europe or USA. Should try Mos Burger. So good.
If you're still in Japan, you should also try Mos Burger, which has the largest number of locations among the hamburger chain restaurants that originated in Japan. My personal recommendations are the Mos Cheese Burger, Teriyaki Chicken Burger, Loin Cutlet Burger, Shrimp Cutlet Burger, and New Tobikiri Cheeseburger. https://www.mos.jp/menu/pdf/global_regular_menu.pdf
For hamburger sandwiches, try MOS Burger or Freshness Burger. They are Japanese burger shops and way better than MacDonald's.
It's black sugar syrup, not licorice.
Japanese Mac has seasonal limited burgers and others all year round, the burger you are eating in the video is a regular burger and there are many more unusual burgers, the most seasonal type in the world but it is a Japanese Mac, I think it is the best in the world.
The most used sugar in Japan is not granulated sugar.
It is caster sugar(äžçœçł), a combination of sucrose with glutose and fructose.
It has a complex and delicate flavor that adds depth to Japanese cuisine.
If you don't mind the heavy weight, why not buy some as a souvenir?
It is sold everywhere in supermarketsïŒ
In Japan, people who have low income salaries or poorer, go to eat McDonald's burgers đ
shrimp burger is the bestââșïž
In Japan, it is prohibited to take videos inside McDonald's restaurants without permission!You can't film a YouTube video on a tourist visa!
You should try the shrimp burger. Itâs the best burger at McD Japan.

It's unfortunate that you've only been frequenting chain restaurants and haven't had the chance to try truly delicious Japanese cuisine.
pretty interesting.
