In Japan, among the hamburger shops McDonalds is the most popular and it’s a successful company. In the USA, the original birth place of McDonalds, it’s often thought to be a junk food.  In Japan, there certainly are some critical people who say it’s Junk, but average people still like McDonald’s and they don’t think it’s a Junk food.

I don’t know well about the other countries’ McDonald’s, but as far as I experienced, Japanese McDonald’s shops are very clean and hamburgers themselves all taste good.

Especially recent deluxe hamburgerscalled Texas Burger or New York Burger are very popluar and taste delicious.  These new menu are targeting a little richer range, so the price is around 450 JPY or about 5 US dollars. Thinking of many other Japanese McDonalds humburgers with price range of 1 US dollar to 3 US dollars at most, these new lines are very expensive.

But it’s true that these burgers are often sold out soon. McDonalds Japan expressed that they need to stop selling these ” AMERICAN BRAND BURGERS” because they are soon sold out and can’t keep the standard selling condition for customers.

Japan is still in serious recession, so it’s strange for us that this expensive burgers are popular.   Some say that many of the steak eaters at relaxing restaurants transferred their food from deluxe steak to rich taste McDonalds, which still save much money for them.

I’ve not yet tried the deluxe humbergers, but sooner or later I will eat it when I also find little money in my wallet for steak dinner.
