[Music] I got your attention so good afternoon
everyone and welcome to Tokyo here in Japan
we’re currently on a really busy road but today
we’re going to try McDonald’s here in Japan and
see how it compares to English McDonald’s English
um English we’re currently in Harajuku we just on
a really busy street I can’t actually remember
what it was called um but it’s really touristy
here and very busy for a Thursday afternoon as
you can see like streets are packed here they
have so many creps here in Harajuku as well
I don’t know if it’s like yeah they’ve got so
many crep shars and we’re going to get one as
well at some point but this is a video today
about McDonald’s just McDonald’s uh we did walk
past the McDonald’s the other day and we looked
at the menu and it looked insane so we’re going
to do a full comparison today check out some of
the items on the menu and see what it tastes like
so come and join us as we check out the Japanese
McDonald’s [Music] now I don’t know why
but this street is so busy and it’s doing
my [ __ ] edit it’s so long like so
many people here and it’s taking us
about yeah it’s taking us about half an
hour just to walk about 500 M because
it’s just like constant stopping and
I’m really unsure why I think people
are just taking their time to kind of
appreciate all the shops and stuff yeah
it’s a really Narrow Street and blows of
people and it’s really winding me up just
want to get to McDonald’s it’s only over
there and it’s taken us so long this is
crazy actually yeah I don’t know why is this
busy that through God knows slow people slow
Walkers doesn’t H that we’re hungry
yeah okay right we’re here I can see the golden
arches we’ve managed to dodge that crowd I don’t
know what all that’s about to be honest like
there’s so many people there and it’s not even
as if like because a specific reason but I don’t
know maybe it’s just like a really popular Market
Street um look how quick we’re walking now we’re
so hungry I think it’s just cuz it’s narrow and
there is actually so many interesting shops on
this street yeah to be fair you don’t have every
time I was quite amazed yeah but they have like
Frozen popcorn what does that mean oh right it’s
here here we go here we go here we go I’m hoping

that mhm all right then uh eating so this comes
to a total 2,650 which works out to be uh £ 13
which is not bad actually 13 quid some English
prizes really yeah right the next challenge is
finding a place to sit oh right down here there
we go loads of seats free you go here yeah
nice so then it’s just arrived and the very
first thing that stands out to me is the the
wrapping and the packaging on these look at that
it’s like secure Blossom on there even on this
look oh my god look how cool it looks got Reds
you got green yeah oh God that that looks like
pure sugar that doesn’t it doesn’t it right then
so what is what um that’s theie we’ll save that
to the last that’s what’s this one in here then
we have churos in there so we’ll save them to
last as well they can go to one side yeah I can’t
remember what we’ve ordered what’s this one uh I
can’t actually read Japanese so I’m not too sure
that looks to me oh that’s the uh mashed potato
one that’s my one and then this is the what the
Cherry of the chick it oh yeah right then I mean
let’s not hang around let’s get straight into it
teriyaki chicken give it a taste test they smell
unreal that is menil yeah
that’s that unreal it go this
is so exciting it’s a Christmas
never ever had a terak and chicken burger before
so let me know what you think
thinkink how good is it nice is it
mhm that sauce tastes incredible
as you can see it’s just like pure
covered in teraki sauce and oh my
God they have that in the UK mhm
everyone e yeah [Music] unreal so
good this one I can’t remember what this was oh
yeah what have you gone for
it was on there should be
um s sauce BT thick set don’t know what
that means this is basically bacon tomato
oh soy sauce it was soy wasn’t it
oh yeah like a beef like a beef soy
sauce beef burger with bacon the bacon and
tomato and lettuce soy sauce beef burger
BLT M oh my God so good is it
good is it m M that’s amazing
only thing with these Burgers is
there you literally make them M
righty never had a soy sauce
beef burger with bacon before
so oh that is nice I thought the soy would be
really overpowering but it’s not you can barely
taste the soy at all it’s just like a nice hint
so good and then right then we will try this one
so this is the most interesting one I personally
think so we got beef burger egg and mashed potato
the top there as well apparently so is it hey
so seaweed huh seaweed wasn’t it seaweed Mash
was it oh yeah okay yeah so sorry M there so
it’s like seaweed B based mash um right oh
fishy give of a go
oh it’s so messy what your thoughts I like it
honestly it just doesn’t really taste that much to
be honest you can taste the egg and a bit of the
beef but you can’t really taste much of the match
to be honest I don’t think anyway I just don’t
really think that’s too going on there really is
there no I’m not a fan of that so I probably
wouldn’t go for it again purely because I I
don’t I don’t com yeah I don’t not like it
but I don’t really like it if that makes
sense like it’s not I will eat it cuz I
bought it but I don’t know it’s just a
bit I’m not sure sure it goes I’ll still
e it obviously um the next thing I want
to try is this drink now this honestly looks
like if you ever watch The Simpsons and you
see that radioactive stuff in The Simpsons
it’s that color doesn’t look very appetizing
but doesn’t actually taste too bad to be
fair oh it’s quite nice it’s s
sugary tastes like pure sugar
but it’s not too bad tastes better
than it looks I don’t actually like
grape so that’s all bests about melon
yeah I can’t stand grape flavor stuff
see how it tastes is it strong is it
nice I like that really it’s like like
sweet it tastes like I I’ll I’ll give it
a go cuz I’m intrigued but that’s is it
good n that’s everything I don’t
like in a great N I don’t like it
right then let’s give these fries a go
I assume these fries probably taste the
same they taste like that ever so smallest
bit different and in a good way I feel like
they might actually be nicer than ones we
get in the UK they just taste a little bit
different and they’re really good actually I
got that I mean so far so far I think Japan
actually wins the best McDonald’s that we’ have
trapping yeah so previously it was India and now
I think Japan actually takes a top spot teraki
chicken burgers better fries I’m yet to Chuck
into a churos we’ll do them last more Choice
as well like maybe more Choice with the beef
boats not so much chicken burgers but really good
really nice flavors so far absolutely loving it
good right then so that is pretty much the mains
all done and dusted we’re now going to
go for the desserts so first St is the
churos m they’re like chocolate
filled in the middle like they’re
still warm so they’re quite
like melted and they’re very
nice do you like them or
no I’m not really a fan of the doughy they’re a
bit like hard my CH that is my favorite bit though
I actually really love these they T nice yeah I
just probably wouldn’t order them again and then
the star of the dessert show is this moi what
was it mchi matchi matchi pie p thing now I’ve
never heard of this before never seen it before
so first time it’s green and it’s green looks very
Japanese it works oh look at that it tast I’m not
sure but it works it’s nice flavor like the rice
yeah uh kind of I don’t know how to describe it
but is really nice oh a chocolate in it I’m not
sure oh that’s good that’s actually really nice
hot very hot what’ you think you’re not a [Music]
fan is it licorice no I don’t think
so it shouldn’t be no not licorice
definitely not no that black be 100% no
it is no it’s not what is it called it
is is I’m sure maybe what’s it
called I can’t what the other word
fored yeah it’s got really weird hint of like
licorice you’re not wrong but it’s not enough
put me off I really like it yeah I’m a fan yeah
so definitely grab on these if you come here and
these churos are also really nice and I got
some food AR make a right mess of it um yeah
I mean overall I’m thoroughly impressed I really
enjoyed this the burgers are unreal the chips are
even nicer in the UK and that’s like I never
thought I’d say that desserts are good um and
that melon drinks all right but I wouldn’t choose
it again we bit sickly yeah yeah bit sickly but
I really like yeah I mean Japanese McDonald’s 10
out of 10 unreal so good better than UK that’s for
sure okay then so that’s the McDonald’s done we’re
now going to come here for actual pudding dessert
I don’t know where I get a bit confused where
mhm it’s clearly a very popular place cuz this
is a queue um and everyone stood around here with
them so they must be good uh Mar and creps what
they called Peery from Haruki since 1976 I they
might have been yeah maybe the longest standing
ones than maybe there so many CP shops yeah there
is a lot of CP shops um yeah hopefully it’s nice
I say it’s a big old quue so not sure how was
going to T to get I’ve got cash anyway so m I
want to get a Nutella Nutella and strawberry are
you now well there is a big like um cabinet here
with all the different ones so once we walk past
that in the queue I’ll show you what we can get
um smells good though smells really good and the
really good thing about these is the fact that a
lot we have a lot of places in Japan they do this
thing where you can see the food and like I guess
it’s like plastic um and they show display what
the food is going to be like before you order it
which is really helpful especially For Tourists
um which one you going to go for I’m going to go
for uh I think it’s over there the chocolate ice
cream strawberry chocolate ice cream strawberry
but what I think is really weird here is they do
a uh chuna cheese curry now tuna Curry and cheese
in a CP is just absolute noo I don’t know why they
do that that’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen crab
yeah but the rest of them look really good you
can get even cheesecake with ice cream banana
Nutella you quite literally oh yeah that’s the
one I want you can quite literally get slav cake
yeah like a full-on slab of Cheesecake oh yeah
brownie brownie ice cream banana cream all in a
crap banana almond brownie chocolate ice cream
whipped cream insane All For Less than4 that’s
incredible
pleas excited
yeah look at this there we go look at that bad
boy we’ve got strawberry cream ice cream what
Happ just that yeah I think so it’s nice and warm
so that came to 640 was it 640 uh 640 Yen 630 Yen
which worked out to be about3 which is not bad
at all really if you bought that in London you’d
probably be paying about 9 so got a bit of prep
as well you take a bite and add this in as well
you need the flavors at once M mental in it yeah
that’s nice is not hungry so he’s only having two
bites so we’ll see that’s cuz be’s going to finish
all off by herself aren’t you be how would you
rate this up to 10 I mean I haven’t really got
this is a good bit yet but I’d say eight eight
out 10 that is strong so then I believe that
pretty much wraps up our day here today the
mcdonal is incredible and this I mean if you’re
in this area of Tokyo you can get creps anywhere
we just thought we’d go to Mar and creps because
we saw loads of photos of it and it was close to
McDonald so yeah I mean full stomach happy and
we’ve got a crap in hand to see up a day as we
get back to our hotel so thank you very much
for watching and we’ll see you in the next one

Takeshita is all tourists, no locals. That's why it's crowded.
海外旅行先でMacDonaldを食べ比べしたくなります。でも、その違いは、その国の特徴を表してはいない。日本滞在中の大事な食事の機会に使うのはもったいない。日本の庶民的ハンバーガーなら、モスバーガーがお勧め。
翻訳が無茶苦茶やな笑
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(上白糖), 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 supermarkets!
In Japan, people who have low income salaries or poorer, go to eat McDonald's burgers 🍔
shrimp burger is the best❗☺️
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. It’s the best burger at McD Japan.
モスバーガーも美味しいですよ。
モスバーガーは、提供時間はかかりますが、作り置きをしていません。
商品提供の早さより、美味しさを最優先してます。
ハンバーガーの野菜はみずみずしく、レタスはシャキシャキしてますよ。
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.
日本語が読めない😂
昔ね〜竹下通りに色んなV系の店とかすごいストリートファッションあったのに…
今はただの観光地になってなんか悲しいなぁー😢
フルーツ系ファッション好きだったわ〜
After living in Japan for like 14 years I can’t eat a burger with my hands anymore like… I have it in the wrapper or with the burger sleeve most places give you.😂
原宿は昔から若者に人気のある場所でそこには若者が好むような店が連なっています。だた、道が狭く人が多いのでぶつからないように気を付ける必要があります。
