Do you know what わさび (wasabi) is?
Wasabi is a spicy condiment made from a root. It is most commonly eaten with sushi…but, it is eaten with other foods as well–including avacado, noodles, and mayonnaise.
There are also “wasabi snacks”—potato chips and nuts—in Japan.
I like spicy food. So, I eat wasabi on many different things.

Well, now McDonalds in Japan is offering a new item…
the 「チキンタツタわさびタルタル」 (which is basically “Fried Chicken with Wasabi Tartar-sauce“) sandwich.
A regular menu item at McDonalds in Japan is the 「てりやきマックバーガー」 (“Teriyaki McBurger“).
「てりやきマックバーガー」 ("Teriyaki McBurger")
(Click here to see my post about other unique items on the menu only at McDonalds in Japan.)
But from April 5th, マクドナルド (McDonalds Japan) has a new teriyaki burger for a limited time…the 「てりたま」 (“Teritama“).
It’s got it’s name because “Teri” is short for “Teriyaki“…and “Tama” is short for “Tamago” (Japanese for “egg”).
It’s a teriyaki burger with egg.
The ad says that it has 「モチモチバンズ」 (“Chewy bun“), which is a texture of food that Japanese like.
It also says that it’s 「マクドナルドの日本の味」 (“McDonald’s Japanese taste“).
Also, according to the ad, at the end of this month the special burger will change to 「ゴマえびフィレオ」 (“Sesame Shrimp Filet“)…
and then in mid-May, they’ll offer the 「チキンタツタ」 (“Ginger-Grilled Chicken“).
Have you ever tried one of the unique menu items at McDonalds in Japan?
