Leave a reply

Last week we reported that the McRib had returned to Japan. Since then, the Web has been buzzing with details of their version of the McRib. I have found one blog that has a series of pictures of the McRib from it’s unveiling from the wrapper, to the tray insert, to various shots of the McRib itself Japanese McRib via Blog Post.
Additionally, I received another images of this McRib from a California resident visiting Japan.

I received an email this evening from Chris Norris in the Florida area. Enclosed in this email is a monthly event calendar for The Orlando, FL area McDonalds. Chris found this insert at McDonalds, specifically at the McDonalds near Universal Studios.


Most interesting is the entry on October 12.

Zoom in on October 12
This promotion is consistent with what was offered in many parts of the Midwest last year, and the timing again matches up with the release last year (actually this is the same day of October that the first report with favorable reviews from last year showed up).

While checking my twitter account this evening, I began noticing these posts:

 

I thought to myself, “No Way! I haven’t heard of McRibs in Japan before!”. I had to check it out. I clicked on one of the links to find this:

I know about zero Japanese (okay, I take that back, I know about 0,0001% … “Konnichiwa and Sayonara”), so I migrated over to google translate to find something like this …

“Makkuribu” is Patti and juicy pork, sweet barbecue sauce complements the taste well, fresh, crisp lettuce, onion, lemon sauce that contains a suite,a hearty dish. “Double Mac rib” is “Makkuribu” pork products Patty’s another addition to the product’s hearty appetite for perfect autumn.”

 

Mmmmmmmmmm.

One more thing to check. McDonalds Japan. After randomly clicking here and there, I found the answer:

Anyone up for a trip? Do we have any fans from Japan? Would love to feature you here on the blog! Email us your photo (with a McRib of course) to: photos@mcriblocator.com
