These McDonald's Japan menu items have been created by the brand as part of a campaign that pits Tokyo against Osaka with consumers able to take to Twitter to vote on their favorite.
There are four limited-time menu items that have been created with two for Tokyo and two for Osaka including the Tokyo Roast Beef Burger, Tokyo Roast Beef Muffin, Osaka Beef Cutlet Burger and the Osaka Beef Cutlet Muffin. Each one comes as a Japanese take on classic creations from the brand to offer consumers in Japan items that are something of a hybrid food creation.
The McDonald's Japan menu items were launched on August 9 and will be available until early September of this year.
