The newest McShake beverage to be offered by McDonald's Japan introduces a hybrid peach drink made with both white and yellow peaches.
The McShake Momo and Momo, or the McShake Peach and Peach, boasts white peaches from Japan and yellow peaches, which are common in the United States. Together, the hybrid peach beverage is said to make for a harmonious blend of the "elegant sweetness of the white peach and the rich sweetness of the yellow peach."
While there are many food and beverage products that are launched with complicated taste profiles, consumers are becoming interested in simple flavors, as evidenced by the rise of single-ingredient restaurants and food products that are made with as few ingredients as possible.
