McDonald's Japan introduces "Adult Regional Teriyaki" McBurgers, embodying Japan's diverse culinary traditions with three regional cuisines: Hokkaido, Osaka, and Fukuoka. Inspired by local delicacies, these novel offerings elevate the popular Teriyaki McBurger, promising a gastronomic journey for patrons seeking an innovative twist on their beloved sandwich.
These delectable creations, collectively known as the "Otona no Gotouchi Teriyaki" or "Adult Regional Teriyaki" burgers, each showcase unique ingredients that represent the distinctive flavors of these foodie destinations.
The Hokkaido-themed burger features a succulent pork patty. Drawing inspiration from jaga butter, a beloved festival treat made of mashed potatoes and butter, this burger surprises with its secret twist - it's actually a cheeseburger! Whipped into a buttery potato sauce, the jaga butter adds a surprisingly bold flavor to complement the teriyaki and cheese, creating a harmonious combination that will surely please those who relish rich yet balanced flavors.
Next up, we have the Osaka Okonomiyaki-style Sauce Tamago Teriyaki McBurger. Osaka, renowned as an okonomiyaki town, showcases the savory-sweet Worcester-like sauce traditionally used in this delightful dish. Topped with a thick fried egg, every bite is a compelling fusion of flavors. This burger's straightforward and robust taste profile makes it particularly appealing to kids, although adults will also find it gratifyingly satisfying.
Lastly, let's explore the vibrant streets of Hakata in Fukuoka, renowned for its mentaiko (spicy cod roe). Drawing inspiration from the chicken seasoned with mentaiko sold at riverside food stalls, the Hakata Mentai Teriyaki Chicken fried chicken cutlet sandwich is a true adult indulgence. While the sauce packs an intense heat with hints of spicy and seafood-saltiness, the cod roe flavor is more subtly perceptible. Brace yourself for a fiery and flavorful experience in this unique sandwich catering to adult palates.
Embark on a gastronomic adventure as you savor the exquisite flavors of Japan's regional cuisines. These Teriyaki McBurger variations will transport your taste buds to the bustling food scenes of Hokkaido, Osaka, and Fukuoka, promising a delightful journey through the diverse culinary traditions of Japan.
