Not that McD's version is my favorite. Lotteria also has ebi burger and Lotteria version has tartar sauce. Japanese tartar sauce has chunks of chopped boiled eggs which is different from the U.S. version of tartar sauce. I like that Japanese tartar sauce has chopped boiled eggs. Variety of ebi burgers at different locations, that keep things interesting. It is hard to say if McD's version of ebi burger is better than Lotteria version of ebi burger or not. Who else has ebi burger?
MOS is really good but their buns too thick. First Kitchen also has ebi burger.

Oh I’m not knocking it. Everyone thinks I’m insane because I love drinking Diet Mountain Dew. Note the diet version is illegal in Japan because the chemical used to create that (also nuclear) coloring is also used as a fire retardant and is illegal to contain within food products here. In America, it’s all good though. You can’t make this stuff up!

I'm trying to cut down because all the caffeine makes it VERY difficult to fall asleep at night.

I actually don’t like Loteria ebi burger for the reason, that their tartar has chopped boiled egg pieces in it. I don’t like that. However Loteria occasionally comes out with limited edition premium ebi burgers and those are really good, my favorite.

Take advantage of the situation. McD's in Japan are well established and most likely this will not put a dent in their business in Japan. For other fast food places, they can use this to let their name out. McD's Japan was asked why not use potatoes from other places and McD's Japan said they could not get the same quality of fires using potatoes from other places.

Least Burger King has onion rings. I knew Burger King returned to Japan few years ago after getting out of the business in Japan. According to Burger King Japan website there are currently 151 Burger Kings in Japan, that is a lot more than I thought.
