7 Unique Fast Food Menu Items To Try in Other Countries

In 1971, McDonald's opened its first location in Asia on the ground floor of Tokyo's Ginza Miitsukoshi department store.

Today, there are more than 2,800 locations across Japan, second only to China and the United States for most McDonald's restaurants. Many fast-food lovers consider Japan to have the best McDonald's in the world, and with good reason. In addition to affordable prices and rumors (sadly debunked) of fry-scented cologne, they also have unique menu items such as maple butter pancake pies, peach smoothies, and fries served with an enticing seasoning known as shaka shaka potato grilled corn. Perhaps the most appetizing of all is the teritama burger, a favorite among Japanese customers that was first introduced in 1996 and features apples, ginger, an egg, and a pork patty drizzled in teriyaki sauce with a garlicky twist. It's only available in the spring, so plan your next visit accordingly.
