Sausage Egg McMuffin Set (McDonald's breakfast) 490 yen It's been a while since I had breakfast at McDonald's. The junky feel of the hash browns is oddly comforting at my age. The fluffy muffin seems like it would be tough to bite into, but it's surprisingly easy. It looks like a lot of food, but I found myself getting hungry again quickly. My kids prefer the bakery nearby, so we don't go to McDonald's as a family. My wife is more of a Mos Burger fan, so it's been about two years since I last had McDonald's.

On 23.4.16, I had breakfast at the McDonald's located at the north exit of Sakuradai Station. It's a small store, but surprisingly, they have a nice seating area. You order first and then pay at the counter. After paying, they give you a number tag to place on your table. When your hamburger is ready, a female staff member brings it to your table. This time, I had the Bacon Egg McMuffin combo for 310 yen with a Coke Zero. The bun was freshly steamed and quite soft, although I prefer buns with a firmer texture. The sandwich had smoked bacon, processed cheese, and a soft egg. It was tasty, but I think it could use some sauce or mayonnaise. Overall rating: 3.2 stars. In terms of value for money, the ratio is 280 yen for the combo out of 310 yen, which is 0.90. I still think breakfast under 300 yen is the way to go. Thanks for the meal.

There is a McDonald's near Sakuradai Station. Around 7 pm on a weekday, there weren't many customers, but there was a long wait. They had a new item called "White King of Triangle Choco Pie" with white chocolate and vanilla cream. The cream was gentle and delicious, with the richness of white chocolate and the flavor of vanilla. The crispy texture of the pie was also good. It was really tasty.

Well, I'm not particularly loyal to McDonald's. I don't use it often. But depending on the reason for using it, it's convenient for killing time, taking a break, staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter at a low cost. And you can use the restroom without worrying. Our store has a restroom in the back, but it's on the first floor so it's okay even if you're in a hurry. However, there's only one for men and one for women, so if someone happens to be inside, it's a no-go. Actually, today, after working in the rain and feeling cold in my stomach despite the humidity, I suddenly felt the urge to run in. McDonald's was a godsend today. Just a warm tea or coffee would do. Many customers come here to read, study, or do serious things. Convenience is its biggest selling point. Our store is the Sakuradai Station Front Store, but the Sakuradai Station Store would be more fitting. It's halfway under a guard. The exterior is impressive.

There are many other delicious options on the menu, but I almost always end up choosing the same thing. Maybe losing interest in trying new things is just a sign of aging? Anyway, this dish looks healthy because it's full of greens. Oh, you suggest having a salad instead of fries or nuggets as a side? Haha...

I used it to take a break from walking tired. Only vanilla shake. It tastes ordinary, sweet, but nothing special. Perfect for resting when tired. The service is according to McDonald's standards. There are a few seats in a place not visible from the staff. Reading, studying, and remote work are possible.

I had a hearty breakfast at McDonald's this morning, but I felt like trying something different, so I opted for the Combo Set which includes a Sausage Egg Muffin and a Premium Roast Coffee for 300 yen. Not bad in terms of cost. When calculating the cost, I realized that the menu at this chain restaurant has a unit price based on calories. For a 300 yen menu, you get 300 kcal. In this case, the Sausage Egg Muffin is 311 kcal and the Premium Roast Coffee is 7 kcal, totaling 318 kcal. It seems like a reasonable price. I oddly feel satisfied from this morning.

Under the guard of Sakuradai Station, there have been some new shops added recently, changing the atmosphere. The McDonald's at Sakuradai is partially under the guard. The atmosphere of McDonald's Sakuradai has changed in response to the surroundings. In terms of McDonald's, it has become brighter and more modern. The comfort has simply improved. On weekends and holidays, there are many families, young children, and young mothers as customers. Personally, I use it sometimes to cool off in the summer, warm up in the winter, or take a break when I'm tired of walking. I recommend just getting a shake or coffee. As for the taste? It's McDonald's.

A quick morning coffee near Seibu Ikebukuro Line Sakuradai Station, under the elevated tracks, or next to it. The coffee is 100 yen cheaper than usual. The interior is honestly small, with cramped tables for two people. Everyone sits alone facing the station side, like a special seat. It's interesting, with various vibes.

Just enjoyed some Jiro at Sakuradai! My friend was still hungry for some ice cream, so we decided to stop by McDonald's near Sakuradai Station. I ordered a Double Cheeseburger set, a yogurt-flavored McShake, and a Waffle Cone with all toppings. The Double Cheeseburger was just average, nothing special. I used mustard sauce for the nuggets, but my friend couldn't eat them due to a lip burn. I finished everything, even though I burned my lip too. Maybe the Jiro challenge earlier was too much, as we decided to take a break from Jiro for a while. Sakuradai is quite far, but it was a satisfying meal.

In January 2019, at McDonald's in Tokyo Sakuradai, I accidentally discovered a promotion where a small hot coffee was free from January 21st to 24th, between 7:00 am and 2:00 pm. I didn't know about it and went there for a meeting. When I ordered just one small hot coffee at the counter, they said, "It's a free service!" I was surprised that it was free even without buying anything else. I tried to order something else out of courtesy, but I was full and couldn't drink another drink. The staff kindly reassured me that it was okay to just order the coffee. McDonald's is amazing, and the staff is so kind! It made me feel warm and grateful. It's moments like these that make you appreciate unexpected acts of kindness.

I used it for lunch this time. I was unsure what to order, but this time I ordered the Premium Roast Iced Coffee. Order details: Premium Roast Iced Coffee (S) 100 yen. The Premium Roast Iced Coffee had a slightly weak flavor. It is nice that the entire restaurant is non-smoking so you can enjoy the taste and aroma of the food, but the prices keep changing and there is no stability in the prices. It is a burger restaurant located inside Emio Sakuradai.

The electronic money and credit cards are now accepted at the guard under the Sakura-dai station. It's a good place for a break or to pass the time. You can also cool off and quench your thirst in the summer. The guard under Sakura-dai station has changed. For those who use McDonald's, the way they use it hasn't changed. The atmosphere is bright and has improved.

I went often!

McDonald's

I wanted the Thomas series Happy Meal toys from January to March, and this is my third Happy Meal this month. Following Harold and Gordon, this time I requested Toby. Just like the last two times, I told the staff "I want this one" and they searched for something similar from the remaining toys. I also ordered a Big Mac separately. Eating at McDonald's three times a month might be tough on the body once you're over 30... The Toby toy, just like Harold and Gordon, is a high-quality item. My son and I had fun putting on the stickers and completing it together.

From January 2018, the Happy Meal toys at McDonald's have been the Thomas series that my son has been eagerly waiting for. Whenever he sees the TV commercial, he immediately reacts. Since then, he talks about McDonald's Happy Meals every day, so we went to buy one. I was wondering if adults could buy them too, but I mustered up the courage to tell the staff that I wanted Harold. Even though the contents were not visible, they managed to find Harold for me. I ordered a hamburger + small fries + small Sprite for 460 yen. I felt like it wasn't enough, so I also ordered a Teriyaki McBurger for 320 yen. It had been a while since I had McDonald's, and it was delicious.

There are times when you just crave a particular taste. But if that taste is inconsistent, it can be disappointing. However, with chain restaurants, you can count on the taste being consistent no matter which location you visit. McDonald's is a prime example of this. For me, that craving is always for a cheeseburger. I recently bought one for around 130 yen. When I got home and tried it, it was delicious! Yes, this is it. It's great that you can enjoy this same taste at any McDonald's.

I ordered the "Teriyaki Mac Burger." The background music is the same throughout the store, bright but quite narrow. The Teriyaki Burger has a strong sauce flavor. Children's voices echo loudly, creating a chaotic atmosphere. It seems to be a popular spot for students to hang out for long periods. A primary school child was surprised, saying, "So, 'Mac' is the real name of McDonald's!" Well, it's not hard to see why they would think that.
