McDonald's Japan announced the debut of its limited-edition Hawaiian-inspired menu, available from July 24 for a limited time. This year's selection features a range of items that evoke the vibrant flavors of Hawaii.
The menu includes updated favorites such as the 'Cheese Loco Moco' and 'Garlic Shrimp,' burgers for a refreshing and seasonal taste. McDonald's Japan has also debuted a new burger item, the 'Chunky Potato & Beef Black Pepper Cream Cheese,' which combines a hearty beef patty with a crispy, fluffy potato patty. The menu also includes a breakfast option, the exclusive 'Cheese Loco Moco Muffin,' as an alternative to the burgers.
The Hawaiian-inspired offerings also include 'Shaka Shaka Potato Hawaiian BBQ Fries,' 'McFizz Blue Hawaii2022,' a blue-toned beverage with apple juice—and 'McFloat Blue Hawaii2024,' which is similar to the McFizz but topped with vanilla soft serve.
These limited-time items provide an opportunity to experience Hawaiian flavors and are available at participating McDonald's locations across Japan.
