In addition, a new menu item called ' Shaka Shaka Potato Teriyaki Flavor ' has also been introduced, so I tried all five items to see what they tasted like.

'Teriyaki that adults love' will be newly introduced and revived for a limited time from Wednesday, May 29th! | McDonald's Official

The teriyaki burger series is highlighted on the menu display near the register.

I bought two of each of the following and took them home: 'Fragrant Soy Sauce Mayonnaise Egg Teriyaki,' 'Tasty Spicy Cheese Teriyaki,' 'Garlic Butter Teriyaki Chicken,' 'Rice Teriyaki Chicken Fillet-O,' and 'Shaka Shaka Potato Teriyaki Flavor.'

The three types - 'Fragrant Soy Sauce Mayonnaise Egg Teriyaki,' 'Tasty Spicy Cheese Teriyaki,' and 'Garlic Butter Teriyaki Chicken' - have their names written on the wrappers for easy identification.

◆Fragrant soy sauce mayonnaise and egg teriyaki
First, I'll try the 'Fragrant Soy Sauce Mayonnaise Egg Teriyaki'.

This is what it looks like when you remove the bun. The patty is topped with an egg, lettuce, and soy sauce mayonnaise.

When I tried it, the soy sauce mayonnaise had a savory flavor like a burnt burger, and the sweet teriyaki burger had a crisp salty and spicy taste.

The yolk has a very mild flavor, and the taste changes depending on which part you eat, so you can enjoy it until the very end without getting bored.

◆Tasty and spicy cheese teriyaki
The appearance of the 'Tasty and spicy cheese teriyaki' is like this.

The buns are filled with a patty, cheese, lettuce, and tomato-jalapeno filling.

The tomato jalapeno filling uses chili peppers and tomatoes, giving it a taco-like taste. It is quite spicy. On the other hand, the cheese flavor is weak. The teriyaki burger has a distinctive Japanese flavor, but the 'Tasty Spicy Cheese Teriyaki' tastes more like Mexican food than Japanese food.

◆ Garlic butter teriyaki chicken
The appearance of 'Garlic Butter Teriyaki Chicken' is like this.

Tartar sauce made with garlic and butter is used.

The garlic flavor is quite prominent, and the garlic flavor and aroma are strong from the first bite to the end. The teriyaki sauce and butter give the burger a sweet flavor.

◆ Rice Teriyaki Chicken Fillet-O
Finally, I will try the 'Rice Teriyaki Chicken Fillet'. The Teriyaki Chicken Fillet sticks out from the 'Rice Buns'.

In addition to the Teriyaki Chicken Fillet, lettuce and sweet lemon sauce were sandwiched between the rice buns.

The Teriyaki Chicken Fillet-O is sweet and spicy, and goes perfectly with rice. The sweet lemon sauce is hidden in the background, leaving a refreshing aftertaste. It was a burger that tasted like a very 'Japanese dinner' with rice and sweet and spicy chicken.

Shaka Shaka Potatoes Teriyaki Flavor
The 'Shaka Shaka Potato Teriyaki Flavor' comes as a set with 'Teriyaki Flavor Powder' and a 'paper bag to mix the powder and potatoes in', and can be ordered in combination with your preferred size of potatoes. This time, I ordered it in combination with the small size potato.

Put the potatoes and teriyaki powder into a paper bag and shake vigorously to mix.

When I tried it, I found that it had a strange taste that was far removed from the teriyaki flavor. When several editorial staff tried it, they responded with comments such as, 'Natto flavor?', 'Maybe it tastes like fish?', 'Something smoked,' and 'It would be better to eat it with the sauce left on the Teriyaki Burger wrapper.' It's a satisfying flavor for a flavored potato, but if you're expecting a teriyaki flavor, you'll be disappointed, so be careful.

In addition, 'Fragrant soy sauce mayonnaise egg teriyaki', 'Tasty and spicy cheese teriyaki', 'Garlic butter teriyaki chicken', and 'Rice teriyaki chicken fillet' are 470 yen including tax, and 'Shaka Shaka Potato Teriyaki Flavor' is 40 yen plus potatoes. All five items will be available for a limited time from Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
