McDonald's is convenient, and being a global chain means you can eat local limited edition items that you usually can't find elsewhere. Here, most of the stores are standalone, looking cool and clean, bright, and comfortable with quick service.

The Filet-O-Fish is the same worldwide, and the hash browns have a crispier outer texture that feels a bit different but is still delicious. You can't skip the milk either; I don't know if it's from Hokkaido, but it just tastes good. Of course, the most important thing is to try the McMuffin burger! It used to have a long queue when it was a limited-time offer, but here it's a regular item with no one competing for it. The sweet and soft muffin paired with a cheesy meat patty and egg has that perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors and textures—it's actually quite tasty. Eating at McDonald's in Japan is a great choice!
