One weekend, after drinking, my husband headed to this fast food restaurant located in Takatsuki Center Street. It is often crowded during the day, but this time it was empty so we were able to get a takeout quickly. We were there for their summer menu which has been recently advertised in commercials. Both my husband and I chose the "Oreo® Cookie Chocolate Frappe" without hesitation and brought it back home. The product comes with a spoon and a straw, and I wonder if they are conscious of eco-friendly materials? The frappe had whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and crunchy Oreo® cookies on top, providing a perfect crunchy texture. The change in ingredients was enjoyable and we didn't get tired of it until the end. It was a cold treat that was much appreciated after drinking. After waiting for it to melt a little, it became a smooth frozen drink. The sweetness and volume were just right for me. I might find myself buying it again after drinking. Thank you for the meal.

I planned to eat maze-soba in Takatsuki and head back, but suddenly heavy rain started...(-_-;) I hurriedly ran into a shopping street for shelter, and remembered there was a McDonald's. They were one item away from completing the menu for the "Char's Exclusive McDonald's," so I decided to go there. I ordered the Mac Float Red Energy flavor for 310 yen. There was a line at the register, but due to the pandemic, more than half of the customers were for takeout or delivery, so there were empty seats. I sat down, took off my mask, and enjoyed the drink! It was a Mac Fizz with Red Energy flavor and soft serve ice cream. It was very sweet (^_^;) Also, a common thing at McDonald's is that they ran out of the limited drink cups, so they served it in a normal cup instead. I had brought my Char's Exclusive Zaku in my bag just in case, so I took a commemorative photo with it. Well, it seems like the rain has stopped, so I'll head back home now. Thanks for the meal!

I never thought I would start to feel the seasons and the changing weather at McDonald's. In the past, it never crossed my mind. But now, when spring comes, I crave the Teritama burger, and in autumn, I start to want the Tsukimi burger. And when winter arrives, I find myself wanting the Gracoro burger. Eating habits are truly mysterious, but when you crave something, there's no stopping it! While exploring the Takatsuki area, I walked past a shop with a big sign hanging outside, and I was immediately drawn in like a powerful suction machine. I recently visited a gourmet burger shop in Takatsuki, but I ended up at McDonald's for their reliable taste. Although I was tempted by the spicy option, I decided to go for the simple Teritama burger. I had been eating the Samurai Mac burger a lot lately, so going back to the basic, simple McDonald's burger was refreshing. There is always a consistent deliciousness that never changes. With the current social situation, I have been going to McDonald's more often, and every time I go, I feel comforted by its reliability.

Just now, I was sent off by the owner of Asu Ryu with a "Thank you for coming early! Have a good day!" and then I went to McDonald's, haha, embarrassing to admit♡ Waiting for my next appointment! Maybe I should study... (but probably not, haha) Everyone, let's do our best at work!! (*´꒳`*)

July 8, 2020 Review (all information is based on the visit on this date) (all prices include tax) *The reason why I rate this store slightly lower than my standard of 3 is because there are many bicycles parked in front of the store, making it difficult for families with wheelchairs to enter. The taste and service are the same as other McDonald's locations (lol). - I tried the limited-time new products. From June 24th, Japanese McDonald's started selling 3 types of beef burgers as the first installment of the "World McDonald's Beef Burger Collection" at all McDonald's locations nationwide (excluding some) until mid-July for "Smoky BBQ," and until early August for "Mighty Beef Original" and "Karubi Mac." Although various beef burgers have been sold in Japan before, there are many popular beef burgers in McDonald's around the world. These beef burgers have been developed in Japan based on recipes of past products sold in various countries. In mid-July, a new beef burger is scheduled to be released as the second installment. - Mighty Beef Original ¥490 The new texture bacon is addictive! "Mighty Beef Original" is a product developed based on the "Mighty Angus Original" previously sold at McDonald's in Canada. It features a juicy, thick "100% beef patty," crispy lettuce, fresh tomato, creamy cheddar cheese, and a sauce with a strong smoky aroma and garlic flavor, all sandwiched between toasted sesame seed buns. The key to the taste is the bacon bits with a salty and smoky flavor that will get you hooked. ...472kcal The patty doesn't seem that thick, but there is plenty of lettuce. The taste is similar to the Grand Clubhouse. The price is the same. Actually, I feel like the Grand Clubhouse has more bacon. But, it's pretty delicious. - Smoky BBQ ¥490 The irresistible smokiness! "Smoky BBQ" is a product developed based on the "Barbecue Smokehouse" previously sold at McDonald's in the UK. It features a juicy, thick "100% beef patty," smoky bacon, crispy lettuce and onion, mild and flavorful cheddar cheese, special BBQ sauce, and ketchup, all sandwiched between steamed buns. The smoky BBQ sauce, which emphasizes the smoky aroma with over 10 spices like black pepper and cinnamon, is the key to the irresistible smoky taste. ...465kcal My son enjoyed it. He said it was delicious. - Karubi Mac ¥420 The "Karubi Mac" with a double dose of deliciousness! The "Karubi Mac" has appeared multiple times at Japanese McDonald's and continues to be loved by many customers for its "beef on beef" concept. It features the flavorful "Karubi" (beef) marinated in Japan McDonald's special "spicy" sauce and the juicy "100% beef patty" sandwiched between a fragrant sesame seed bun. The refreshing sweet lemon sauce and crispy lettuce further enhance the flavors of the two types of beef. A burger perfect for those seeking the juicy goodness of "beef on beef." ...437kcal My husband tried it. He was disappointed because the burger was thin even though it came in a box. *If you prefer a blog version with easier-to-view photos, please check it out here: https://gurumebutyou.muragon.com/entry/2897.html

After enjoying rotisserie chicken and Corona beer at a company drinking party in Kyoto, I returned to Takatsuki feeling a bit peckish. I found myself drawn to this place that I had been curious about from their commercials. I ordered the "Gohan Teriyaki" and "Cinnamon Melts", along with a hot coffee to sober up. The Cinnamon Melts were warm sweets with cinnamon sugar and cream cheese flavored syrup on bread, quite a punch of sweetness but an interesting dessert. I used the hot coffee to clear my head. Then there was the Gohan Burger, "Gohan Teriyaki", a popular menu item with a pork patty from the Teriyaki Mac Burger sandwiched between rice. It was seasoned with a ginger-flavored sweet and savory teriyaki sauce and sweet lemon sauce, with plenty of crispy lettuce. I had high hopes for it since I love Mos Burger's rice burgers, but unfortunately, the combination of rice and filling didn't sit well with me. Maybe the abundance of lettuce and sweet lemon sauce clashed with the rice, creating a discordant note. Although it wasn't to my taste, I would be willing to try other varieties. Check out my blog for more details.

One weekend morning, I visited this place in search of breakfast. It is located in Takatsuki Center Street, which is also my commuting route, but I rarely use fast food restaurants as I feel somewhat guilty about it. They had a notice about the new consumption tax introduced in October. I was surprised to see the wide variety of menu items for "Morning Mac" after a long time. There are 14 main menu items alone. While I don't usually crave McDonald's regular hamburgers, I do love the taste of the "Sausage Egg McMuffin" from the morning menu. My husband, who only eats burgers from Mos Burger, opted for an "Iced Coffee", while I got the "Sausage Egg McMuffin Set" for myself. It had been years since I last saw the "Sausage Egg McMuffin". I also got the "Chicken McNuggets (5 pieces)" and a "Premium Roast Iced Coffee" in the set. The iced coffee tasted similar to convenience store coffee, and surprisingly, my husband enjoyed the McNuggets dipped in BBQ sauce. And finally, the "Sausage Egg McMuffin" that I had been craving. It still has that delicious taste. If only they sold it at night, I would buy it when my husband is out for drinks. Well, maybe it tastes even better because I only have it occasionally. ◎For more details, please refer to my blog [Kokoromano "ma"] https://ameblo.jp/39lohas/entry-12535347398.html

I visited again because I had a coupon. This time, I purchased McNuggets (coupon), large fries (190 yen tax included), small Mount Rainier shake (110 yen tax included), and small vanilla shake (120 yen tax included). I got them to go. I was surprised by how fast it took from ordering to receiving the food, around 30 seconds. The store is relatively spacious with plenty of staff, but the speed was impressive. The operation and staff skills are well polished. I hope other fast food restaurants can learn from them.

September 10, 2019 Purchase Review (All information is based on the visit at that time) (Prices are tax-inclusive): - The rating of this store is slightly below my standard point of 3, mainly because the bicycle parking in front of the store is crowded, making it difficult for families with wheelchairs to enter. But the taste and service are just like any other McDonald's. LOL - Limited-time Golden Moon-Viewing Burger: ¥390 The Moon-Viewing Burger seems like something I buy every year. It's like a symbol of the end of summer. It consists of a fluffy egg, 100% beef patty, thick golden cheese, and thick bacon sandwiched between golden buns. It feels luxurious with the thickness of the fried egg. It's delicious ❤️ However, most of the cheese melted and stuck to the box, making it not ideal for takeout. I had to carefully peel off the cheese and reassemble it. Maybe not suitable for takeout❓❓ - Limited-time Moon-Viewing Pie: ¥150 A pie with a gentle sweetness of textured red bean paste and soft mochi wrapped in crispy pastry. It allows you to enjoy the autumn moon-viewing atmosphere. It's the first pie in the Moon-Viewing series. The mochi doesn't stand out as much as I thought, but the combination of freshly fried pastry and red bean paste is like an an-doughnut, which is good. However, as a person from Kansai, I would have preferred a more grainy red bean paste. - For a blog version with easier-to-view photos, please visit the link provided.

Sometimes, I suddenly crave for french fries... Even though I've been gaining weight, today I just couldn't resist. Before I knew it, there was a McDonald's right in front of me! Normally, I hesitate to enter crowded places, but my stomach was growling and I really wanted some fries, so I went in without hesitation. It had been a while, so I was a bit confused by the menu and there were so many options that I didn't have time to read through them all, so I just went for the Egg Cheeseburger Set (500 yen) which came with medium fries and a medium Coke. I was surprised by how reasonable the price was! The burger had a soft bun, a good amount of meat, and the egg was cooked just right, giving it a nice creamy texture. By the time I finished, I was full and satisfied. The affordability and filling portion size make it understandable why it's popular among high school students. The customers were mostly high school students and mothers with young children. As mentioned in other reviews, there were bicycles crammed in front of the store. Despite it being a weekday, the store was packed with customers, so I guess the number of bicycles couldn't be helped, but I couldn't help but think that they could do something about it.

McDonald's in the central area of Takatsuki Center Street, Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture. The bike parking situation is quite crowded with bikes stacked two or three deep. There are seating options on the 1st floor, both near the front and towards the back on the right, as well as spacious table seating on the 2nd floor. I ordered the Sausage Egg McMuffin set using a coupon, which was originally 450 yen but discounted to 350 yen. The set includes a Sausage Egg McMuffin, Hash Browns, and an iced coffee. The rich flavor of the meat, egg, and cheese was satisfying! The price is cheaper than buying similar items at a convenience store. I also ordered Hash Browns using another coupon, which was discounted from 120 yen to 90 yen. They were crispy and delicious, freshly fried! I used to often sit by the window on the 2nd floor when I was younger... It's nice to reminisce about those memories while enjoying a breakfast at McDonald's. The value for money of their breakfast menu is unbeatable!

After breakfast, it's time for the usual routine!? McDonald's~ I came to the "McDonald's Takatsuki Center Street Store" located in the shopping street south of JR Takatsuki Station. I aim to conquer McDonald's in Hyogo, but I haven't been able to go recently. I find time like this and go to McDonald's on business trips. I'm completely crazy! Hot coffee (S) please. The young staff here are unfriendly. They have a cute face, but the type that loses out on first impressions. And they don't give you a receipt unless you ask for it. Is this what it's like nowadays? Also, I couldn't find any outlets in this store. I worry about my smartphone battery level on business trips. It's a shame that there are no outlets at McDonald's. Shall we drink up on the second floor and move on to the next place? Oh, even at the busy Takatsuki Center Street store, I'll always take a moment~ Thanks for the meal~

I used to rely on McDonald's a lot. I would have a hearty lunch, eat dessert, and even in the winter, I would indulge in a McFlurry without hesitation (laughs). When the McFlurry Double Chocolate was first released, it was still a new item, and the size was as big as a medium drink. I thought it could be a bit smaller and cheaper, but it was eventually updated to the current size. Even though it's called Double Chocolate, the ice cream is vanilla, so it wasn't too heavy on the chocolate, which was just right for me. If they release a matcha or caramel McFlurry, I will definitely try it. I don't go to this location as often anymore, but if I have the chance, I would like to visit again.

Limited time offer: the rice double cheeseburger season has arrived. This year, the rice spicy double cheeseburger is priced at 440 yen, which is an increase.

This is a McDonald's located on the main street of Takatsuki City, Takatsuki Center Street. I visited here for the first time in years because I had a Yahoo! coupon and suddenly felt like drinking a vanilla shake. The coupon was for a free Chicken Cheeseburger. The price of a small vanilla shake had increased to 120 yen (tax included) (it's 100 yen (tax included) if you use the app coupon, but you can only buy up to 2 with the coupon. Is that so!) The Chicken Cheeseburger, which used to be part of the 100 yen menu, now costs 200 yen. It tasted much better, including the bun. The classic vanilla shake was as delicious as ever. I know it's best when paired with fries, but I refrained this time because it was before dinner. Sometimes indulging in unhealthy junk food is good too.

The Big Mac Junior is simple and costs 290 yen. The Grand Big Mac is big and costs 490 yen.

The attitude of the staff is okay. There was a lovely lady with a beautiful smile. The ¥0 smile, thank you. Sometimes students can be noisy inside the store, so I think the staff should address it. The ebi fry is delicious and I always order it.

The auntie in charge didn't give off the typical chain store vibe, which made a unique impression.

I voted for the Ebi Filet in the McDonald's election ( ´ ▽ ` ) I was torn between the Cheeseburger, but...
