The shop is easy to find near the intersection of the main street. I was curious about the new Strawberry Frappe, so I went to try it. The frappe is delicious, but the macaron on top is just okay. Well, considering the low price, it's not a big deal. Personally, I think a slightly firmer macaron would give a more luxurious feel. I really liked the new Tropical Blue Hawaii, and surprisingly, I ended up getting a refill.

Around 10:30, I went to the drive-thru and ordered a smoothie for 450 yen using a coupon. It was so smooth and had a strong peach flavor - super delicious! Finally got to eat it. Perfect for a hot day! The peaches on top turned out to be canned, which makes sense considering the price. But it was still delicious. Thank you for the meal! :)

I felt like having a hamburger, so I decided to go to McDonald's. In these times, I thought it would be better to use the drive-thru, so I headed to the restaurant. It is located at the intersection of Kamakura Kaido, which extends towards Machida City, and Tama New Town Street, which extends towards Tama Center. There is always a long line of cars waiting at the drive-thru during lunchtime when I pass by here. Today, it was just before noon, so I entered from Tama New Town Street. However, there were already a few cars waiting ahead of me. I lined up in the queue. It took about 1-2 minutes per car to reach the operator, so it took a few minutes for the cars to reach the window. Today, I ordered the Shin-Tatuta Miyazaki specialty Chicken Nanban Tartar (420 yen → 400 yen) and a Big Mac (390 yen → 370 yen) using coupons I had. When I gave the coupon numbers, they processed it for me. I always wonder, do they really need to see the smartphone or is just stating the number enough? I wonder if they can tell who has the official McDonald's app installed. After ordering, I moved the car to the window, where I paid, and then a bit further to receive the products in a paper bag. The whole process took just 1-2 minutes. It's fast, isn't it? When I got home, I ate the burgers with a drink from the fridge. The Shin-Tatuta Miyazaki specialty Chicken Nanban Tartar had a rich tartar sauce with egg, onion, and pickles on top of the chicken. The chicken also had a Nanban sauce made with rice black vinegar. The Big Mac, one of my top favorites along with the Teriyaki Mac, was as delicious as always with its two layers of hamburger patties. Overall, the drive-thru is really convenient. I might get hooked on using it from now on! Thank you for the meal.

Near the intersection of Komeda Shin-Ohashi and Tama Newtown Street and Kamakura Kaido (Tokyo Metropolitan Road No. 18 Fuchu Machida Line)... on the downhill lane side is McDonald's Tama Newtown Street store. It had been about a year and a half since my last visit. On a weekday evening, I stopped by to kill some time. There is an area on the second floor with power outlets. The playland on the second floor is currently closed due to the spread of the new coronavirus. I got a Hot Apple Pie for 100 yen and used a coupon from the official McDonald's Japan app to get a Premium Roast Coffee M (Iced) for 150 yen reduced to 120 yen. The Hot Apple Pie with its generous apple filling and crispy pastry crust is a perfect match.

I skipped breakfast due to a regular appointment, so before heading to my morning activities, I stopped by here for a McDonald's breakfast. I had a rare coupon for the McDonald's McGriddle, so I decided to go for that. I've had the sausage McGriddle before, so this time I opted for the bacon and egg one. I ordered a medium Premium Roast Coffee. It was already past 9 am when I arrived. The first floor was empty except for one customer. After paying, my order was ready quickly, and I was directed to a seat by the window near the entrance. The coffee seemed freshly brewed and tasted great. I started with black coffee but added some milk halfway through the meal. The McGriddle had a pancake-like bun with just the right amount of maple syrup soaked in, creating a nice balance of sweetness with the ingredients. I know it's high in calories, but it's better than the Mega Muffin (laughs). The combination of egg and smoky bacon was delicious. I think it had fewer calories than the sausage McGriddle, but then I also had the hash browns. Sometimes it's good to indulge and enjoy what you eat. The coffee was also delicious. Now, let's do our best today. Thank you for the meal.

I went shopping in the evening and on my way back, I stopped by McDonald's. The image of Kimura Takuya singing while parking his RV at McDonald's in that commercial just won't leave my mind (laughs). On his radio show, there is a different version of the commercial with just his voice. This McDonald's location is usually less crowded in the evenings as most people come by car. I had a coupon for a medium iced coffee, so I ordered that along with some mini pancakes. The mini pancakes come with apple and cream. Even though it's been on the menu for a while, I had never tried it before. I also didn't know that the mini pancakes are included in the Happy Meal. Most people went upstairs to sit, so downstairs there was only one other person sitting far away from me. When I opened the paper box, there were 7 cute coin-sized pancakes. I squeezed out the apple and cream and tried one plain first. The pancake wasn't too sweet, warm, and delicious despite its small size. The apple and cream had a nice level of sweetness and didn't overpower the taste. I also enjoyed my iced coffee with just milk. I didn't stay long and soon headed home to prepare dinner. Thank you for the meal.

The Big Mac and Double Cheeseburger are undisputed masterpieces from McDonald's that allow you to savor the meatiness. But wait a minute. If you stack two single burgers together, isn't it almost the same? To solve this question, I visited McDonald's around 7 pm on a weekday and purchased the following items: - Hamburger: 110 yen - Cheeseburger: 140 yen I took them home to try! Each one is thin, so it's easy to combine them. Although they look unbalanced, as long as you can eat them, it's fine. The taste is meaty and salty. However, the buns are fluffy and unbalanced - if you press them down, oh no, the top bun cracks. It's clear that the buns are the cheapest version. In conclusion, this burger, which costs a total of 250 yen, has a fluffy and crispy bun, but lacks consistency. Whether it's good or not depends on you. Enjoy your meal!

On this day, my friend had McDonald's for lunch. And not just one burger, but three! It seems quite greasy, but in a delicious way! Now I can't stop thinking about McDonald's. After work, I went through the drive-thru and got the Samurai Mac Double Thick Beef Patty with Charred Soy Sauce for 490 yen. The presentation was a bit underwhelming, as always with McDonald's, but the buns were different and had a special feel to them. The beef patties were thick and juicy, with a teriyaki-like flavor from the soy sauce and cheese. Next, I got the McDonald's Shake "Can't Pop" Pudding in a small size for 120 yen. I forgot to choose the caramel sauce, but it still tasted like regular pudding. It was a nice treat, especially after a drink. I wanted to try the limited edition Bacon Potato Pie Sensation for 150 yen, but unfortunately, it was already gone. Until we meet again...

Thanks to the impact of the coronavirus, the drive-thru was incredibly crowded, but they managed to handle it efficiently by deploying a large number of staff members. They truly are the kings of the drive-thru! I was able to quickly get my order at 12 o'clock noon, which is the busiest time. The kids were thrilled with the Tommy toys. I give it a high revisit rating and recommend it. By the way, in my previous drive-thru experience, I received a low rating because the fries and ice cream were packaged together in the same bag.

I visited the restaurant first thing in the morning after a doctor's appointment without breakfast. It had been a few years since I last had the Gracoro and Premium Roast Coffee in a small size to take out. My partner was interested in the Amaou strawberry triangular Choco Pie coupon, so I also got the Double Choco Melts. The Gracoro seems to be evolving year by year, with the bun being fluffier than before. Although they mentioned that there were shrimp in the gratin filling, I didn't notice it. The white sauce was less salty and creamy, while the egg sauce tasted like mayonnaise. If it had tasted more like hollandaise sauce, the burger might have felt less heavy. Overall, I enjoyed the evolved Gracoro. As for the Amaou strawberry Choco Pie, I shared it with my partner. The chocolate in Choco Pie is usually sweet, so you forget about the greasiness of the pie crust, but this time it bothered me. The pie lacked a crispy texture and felt oily when you bite into it. The strawberry chocolate cream filling didn't quite capture the essence of Amaou strawberries, and it seemed to contain artificial flavorings, which I didn't particularly like. The Double Choco Melts, on the other hand, had a thick layer of hot fudge-like chocolate sauce on top of the chocolate bread, making it a sinful treat. When lightly warmed before eating, the sauce melts and becomes delicious. It's incredibly sweet, so I couldn't finish it all at once. It pairs well with coffee. I divided it into three portions and warmed it up each time, enjoying it without any issues. Thinking about it, the Gracoro is full of carbohydrates (laughs). I had to be careful not to turn into a rolling ball. The Double Choco Melts was also a devilish dessert treat. Thank you for the feast.

Near the intersection of Komita Shin-Ohashi and Tama Newtown Street and Kamakura Kaido (Tokyo Metropolitan Road No. 18 Fuchu Machida Line) on the downhill lane side, there is a McDonald's Tama Newtown Street store. On a Sunday evening, feeling a bit peckish, I stopped by for the first time in about two years. The McDonald's Tama Newtown Street store is starting to show its age, but the open atmosphere remains unchanged. Plus, they have convenient power outlets available. Using coupons from the official McDonald's Japan app, I got a large size fries for 190 yen (from 320 yen) and a medium premium roast coffee (iced) for 120 yen (from 150 yen). I also chose the limited-time "McShake x Mount Rainier Cafe Latte flavor" (small) for 120 yen without hesitation. This collaboration features the aromatic Mount Rainier Cafe Latte with a balance of rich espresso and creamy milk, combined with the creamy and gently sweet McShake.

On the weekend morning, I ran twice that day, once in the evening. I decided to try having breakfast at McDonald's for a change. They are promoting a product with a fancy name called "Nikotama", which is actually a "Double Egg McMuffin". It seems they named it after a famous and popular city. This product is only available for a limited time. I had it with an iced coffee. It's the morning version of the "Double Egg McMuffin", with sausage patty instead of the usual patty, and muffin instead of the bun. The sausage patty has a salty taste, but the black pepper sauce adds a refreshing spiciness. The egg and sauce complement each other well, with the bacon adding a smoky flavor as an important supporting role. One is enough to satisfy, and skipping the hash brown was the right choice. After quenching my thirst with the iced coffee, it's time to head out before the sun gets too strong. Thank you for the meal.

My cycling partner and I took a short break before heading home. I had an iced coffee size M with a coupon, my partner had a hot apple pie, and I had a hot apple custard pie. The iced coffee was refreshing and delicious. The hot apple pie used to have a chunkier filling with a cinnamon aroma, but now it's more like a puree. It's harder to eat neatly now, so I prefer to have a napkin handy. The hot apple custard pie had a slightly different color and taste compared to the traditional hot apple pie, but I enjoyed the flavor. The custard cream was creamy and rich. I chose to try this new item, but I still have a nostalgic preference for the old recipe. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

About a 15-minute walk from Keio (Odakyu) Nagayama Station, there is a McDonald's located at the Tamagawa Newtown Street, Kotta Shinohashi intersection. The parking lot and store are large, with a drive-thru available, and it is open 24 hours. There are seating areas on both the first and second floors, with the first floor being smaller and more intimate (where the cashier is located). The second floor is spacious with plenty of seats. There is a kids' play area on the second floor with a large fixed play structure (slide), making it a fun playground for children. On this day, my daughter requested three types of pies. The triangle chocolate pie was 110 yen with a coupon, the triangle strawberry chocolate pie was 120 yen with a coupon, and the apple pie was 100 yen. My daughter wanted to play in the playground, but it was too crowded due to the New Year holidays, so we decided to take the pies home. When we got home, my daughter and I shared the pies. The triangle chocolate pie had a crispy outer layer and a chewy pastry inside, filled with plenty of gooey chocolate sauce. The creamy chocolate was slightly bitter and easy to eat. The strawberry chocolate pie had a crisper pastry than the chocolate pie, with a light texture. The strawberry chocolate inside was sweet and child-friendly. It reminded me of the strawberry part of Apollo chocolate. It was delicious. The apple pie had a crunchy pastry that was well-fried and tasty. Inside, there was gooey apple filling that was sweet and flavorful with a strong hint of cinnamon, which I liked. I love McDonald's pies as they are all delicious and reasonably priced. It was fun to compare and enjoy them. Thank you for the meal! (*^_^*)

I don't usually eat fried chicken or roast chicken on Christmas, but I sometimes crave chicken nuggets. I found out that there was a special offer for a 15-piece set for 390 yen, so I went to buy it. You can choose three sauces. There are times throughout the year when you can get a good deal, so it's a good idea to keep an eye out if you want to eat a lot. If you don't eat it right away after buying it, it's better to reheat it in a toaster oven at home before eating it. I reheated it this time too, so the coating was crispy and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Let's have lunch at McDonald's today. I went there by bike. My partner had a Filet-O-Fish and an Egg Cheese Burger (Egg Cheese). I shared a new Chicken Stick with my partner. My partner tried the Egg Cheese for the first time and said it's good for 200 yen. I also liked it because it's affordable and filling. I tried the revamped Ebi Filet. It's now 390 yen and has a different batter and Aurora sauce, but the taste didn't change much. Maybe if I had it fresh on the spot, I would have noticed a difference. I thought the batter would be crunchier, but it wasn't. Still, I like shrimp cutlets, so I'll eat it again. The Chicken Stick has a good batter. I don't like chicken skin, so this is perfect for me. It has a texture like chicken breast and isn't too greasy. It's a menu item that satisfies those who want to eat a little bit of chicken along with a burger. For those who find Chicken Nuggets or Shake Shake Chicken too heavy, I think they would like this. Thank you for the meal.

For lunch that day, we decided to go to McDonald's after a long time. My partner had the Filet-O-Fish and a hamburger, while I had the Egg Cheeseburger (Eggchi). We didn't get any fries, just one burger each, and I also got the high-calorie Cinnamon Melts. We took the burgers to go, so there might be some shaking from riding our bikes, so I didn't take any pictures. It's been about 20 minutes since we bought the food, just so you know. I know it's a bit late, but this was actually my first time trying the Cinnamon Melts. It's like a bite-sized version of a cinnamon roll, covered in that dangerously sweet glaze. The scent of cinnamon is really nice. It goes perfectly with the coffee I made at home! We shared it between the two of us, and it was a really appealing dessert. I know I shouldn't compare it to Cinnabon, but the warm Cinnamon Melts near our house were also fantastic.

Let's have a rare lunch at McDonald's! I tried the new Noguchi and Torichi burgers, along with a large size of McDonald's fries and a 15-piece Chicken McNuggets for takeout. I used a coupon from a newspaper insert to get a good deal on the burgers and fries. I waited a bit before eating at home, so I don't have any pictures. I tried the Noguchi, a double cheeseburger for cheese lovers. I was expecting lots of tasty cheese slices, but the bottom bun had cheddar cheese sauce instead. The other cheeses were the same as the regular double cheeseburger. The strong flavor of the sauce overpowered the patty's taste a bit. Maybe the Torichi burger would have been a better choice. Oh, I like Goro Noguchi. I shared the fries and Chicken McNuggets. I remember when McNuggets used to come in packs of 9, but now it's 15. That's too much for us to finish in one go. We reheated the leftovers in the toaster oven the next day, and they were crispy and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

McDonald's is always a reliable choice no matter where you go. I stopped by for a morning break on my way to Lake Sagami.
