We, as exhibitors on the second day of MF-Tokyo2023, opened early in the morning and it was very helpful. It was a timely rain to be able to replenish minerals to heal the fatigue caused by sweating in the heat (*´∀｀*)

Not inside Big Sight, but near Big Sight, there is a McDonald's. There is no McDonald's inside Big Sight. The interior of the restaurant may look small and have few seats, but there are actually many seats in another space within the same building. Therefore, dining inside the restaurant is possible. It is a restaurant intended for visitors to exhibitions. For those who want to eat lunch or breakfast before going to the exhibition, it would be good to eat here before entering Big Sight. There are also dining options inside Big Sight, but they are limited, and if it gets crowded during lunchtime, it can be inconvenient to go outside to eat. It would be better to eat before going there.

Today, in between the exhibition and seminar, I had lunch. It's really convenient having a McDonald's nearby. It's a bit of a walk, but there weren't many people and I was able to order quickly. I'll have the Eguchi burger. I think these kind of slightly premium burgers are nice.

I am on a business trip to Tokyo for a conference. I have a presentation today, well, it's a poster presentation so the goal is to have discussions. I hope to have some good encounters. It's a minor presentation, so I wonder how much interest it will generate. The hotel has a McDonald's on the premises! This is convenient. The sausage egg muffin is delicious, isn't it? I only eat muffins at McDonald's in the morning, but they are tasty! And my favorite hash browns! I could eat these endlessly. Well, three is my limit, but they are just the right amount of salty and perfect for the morning. I chose hot coffee for my drink today. I remember McDonald's hot coffee winning an award in the past, it's quite good. I had a relaxing time. Thank you for the meal!!!

Starting from July 18, 2022, the conquest of all 356 McDonald's stores in Tokyo begins! Today's featured store is the McDonald's Ariake Park Building store. They are offering the Bacon Egg McMuffin Combo for 270 yen, tax included. Electronic money payment is accepted.

After finishing my business in Aomi, I decided to take a leisurely walk and ended up at the International Exhibition Hall. I wanted to have a late lunch at McDonald's, but there were about 10 groups of people waiting in line, so I decided to try Coco's upstairs. However, there were also a few groups waiting outside Coco's (It was past 3:30 pm, why is it so crowded!?). I then went back to McDonald's and placed a mobile order. My order number was a nice round 100! That alone improved my mood. Although I couldn't choose to have my order brought to my seat, I still received my order very quickly. I usually only order coffee at McDonald's, but since I like mango, I chose the limited-time Tropical Fruit drink. The Garlic Shrimp burger had a bit too much garlic for my taste. The fries were a bit disappointing compared to last year. The Tropical Fruit drink was refreshing and delicious, perfect for my dry throat, but the straw was not pre-cut, making it difficult to drink the fruit pieces or jelly. I hope they reconsider the straw design. Nevertheless, McDonald's in Japan is relatively cheap compared to other developed countries. I appreciate the affordable meal.

I am at Ariake Park Building♪ I ordered using mobile order (^^) This store is like a food court (^_^;) Even though I ordered with mobile, I still had to pick up at the counter (T-T) I ordered a Melon Soda S and a Sprite S (*'▽'*)

I visited this McDonald's specifically for the Shaarei Tzedek. It was very crowded due to the holiday. Being close to the Big Sight, it is convenient to use. I have also used it when staying at a nearby hotel. The special cups were no longer available. I had to rush because I had other plans, so I couldn't fully enjoy the meal, but the Teriyaki burger was delicious.

There are seats inside the McDonald's located in a building in front of the International Exhibition Hall station, as well as a spacious eat-in area inside the building. I stopped by because I had some time before heading to Big Sight for work. It was early in the morning, but there were people there. I haven't had a McGriddle in a long time! I like the bread with maple flavor in it.

The usual hotel breakfast buffet was not available, so I opted for a Japanese set meal which cost 1650 yen. Even though there were no photos, I decided not to go. The nearest open restaurant was a place called Chicken Tata. The sign was big, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a Chicken Tata and a coffee set for 450 yen. It seemed a bit expensive for a fast food place. The Chicken Tata came in a fancy burger box. The bread was fluffy with dry cabbage in between. The Tata itself was dry overall. It seemed like they forgot to put dressing or mayonnaise. I decided to eat it without drinking the coffee first. The Chicken was dry, I wanted to change it to a healthier option. I realized there was no greasiness, so maybe it's healthier. I got a bit thirsty, so I decided to drink the coffee. Maybe next time I'll stick to the regular hamburger or cheeseburger at the famous McDonald's.

Located on the first floor of a hotel on the way to McDonald's Big Site, just a short walk from Kokusai-tenjijo Station and Ariake Station. The seating area is incredibly spacious, like a food court inside a mall. I arrived earlier than planned and had to wait as there were only a few shops open. I decided to indulge in some hash browns, which I hadn't had in a while.

The McDonald's located on the first floor of a hotel next to the international exhibition center is currently operating as takeout only due to the pandemic. Senior and foreign staff members are working actively. Customers line up while maintaining social distance, present their loyalty cards, make cashless payments for items such as double beef burgers for 490 yen (including reduced consumption tax), bacon potato pies for 150 yen, and shakes or puddings for 200 yen, and then take their orders to go. Despite being a takeout-only operation, the restaurant provides paper bags that are not suitable for takeout, and includes hot burgers and shakes together. I reflected on my frivolousness for succumbing to the influence of commercials and buying these items, but as I remembered the actress in the commercial, I enjoyed walking and sipping on the shake that indeed tasted like the original pudding.

Working at the Big Sight today. Had a late and light lunch here. McDonald's it is! Ordered a hamburger, the most basic menu item. The combination of buns, beef patty, pickles, onions, and ketchup is golden! It's delicious. It may not be gourmet, but it satisfied my hunger. Thanks for the meal! (＾人＾)

I didn't plan on adding any more reviews for this store, but I noticed something that caught my attention, so I'll quickly post a review while uploading an image. 2019.09 I used the eat-in service on a weekday morning after 9 am (8% consumption tax price). I ordered the Sausage Egg McMuffin set for ¥350 (using a coupon). It had the usual consistent taste. The hash browns were crispy, and I felt they were fried well. 2019.11 I used the eat-in service on a weekday afternoon after 1 pm (10% consumption tax price). I ordered the Double Cheeseburger set for ¥550. I wanted to eat the Double Cheeseburger, but couldn't taste anything. Wait, am I tired?! Even my favorite Chicken McNuggets didn't hit the spot. I realized that when you're tired from work, things start to go downhill, and you can't even taste your favorite foods. Moderation is key for workaholics. 2019.12 I used the eat-in service on a weekday morning after 9 am. Still feeling the shock from before, I had a morning Mac for revenge (10% consumption tax price). I ordered the Sausage Egg McMuffin set for ¥450, but with a coupon, I paid ¥350. I feel like the transparency of the plastic lid for soft drinks has improved. It's hard to see in the uploaded image, but you can faintly see the light brown color of the Oi Ocha tea. I've seen many restaurants already stop using plastic products. I realized that McDonald's is also moving in that direction.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. It's been about 1 year and 3 months since my last visit. This time, I decided to go with the Mac Shake Mount Rainier Cafe Latte flavor in size small (120 yen). I paid with a card. Before I knew it, my drink arrived. The Mac Shake Mount Rainier Cafe Latte flavor in size small offers a harmonious blend of rich coffee syrup and creamy Mac Shake with a gentle flavor. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. 2019.10.10 Dining out.

On October 2, 2019, I had some business at Tokyo Big Sight and decided to take a break by walking to the Tokyo International Exhibition Center on the Rinkai Line. I stopped by McDonald's Ariake Park Building store, which has 150 seats and counter seats with power outlets. The store had a relaxed atmosphere with only a few customers in the afternoon. Despite the increase in consumption tax to 10%, the price of a small cold drink remains unchanged at 100 yen including tax, which is quite convenient. I had a Coke Zero this time. The store had good air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and power outlets, making it a great place to take a break. It feels like a hidden gem in this area. Thank you for the meal!

I found out about a promotion offering all sizes of fries for 150 yen in a CM, so I came to satisfy my hunger. I ordered a large size fries. I also got a small size drink for 100 yen, so the total was 250 yen. This might have been my first time trying the large size fries. At first glance, it seemed like a lot, but in reality, it didn't seem much different from a medium size. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but the inside was filled with short, small pieces, and I didn't really feel the fluffy texture of the fries. I wonder if they are just adding scraps to bulk up the portion during the promotion?

I will be working in Ariake for a while. In April 2019, I decided to have breakfast at McDonald's in Ariake before starting work. I noticed that the staff at the counter were Japanese, unlike the Asian staff I saw six months ago. I ordered a Sausage Egg McMuffin combo for 300 yen and a Bacon Potato Pie for 150 yen. The Sausage Egg McMuffin had the usual great taste. The Bacon Potato Pie was served warm, so I didn't burn myself despite the staff warning me about it being hot. It made me appreciate the attention to detail at McDonald's. In June 2019, I went to the same McDonald's and used a coupon for a discounted Sausage Egg McMuffin set for 350 yen. The egg in the McMuffin seemed a bit empty, and the Hash Potato felt greasy, as if it had been sitting for a while.

Located on the first floor of the Ariake Park Building, between Kokusai-tenjijo Station on the Yurikamome Line and the Yurikamome Kokusai-tenjijo Seimon Station, is the McDonald's Ariake Park Building store. It had been about 1 year and 11 months since my last visit, and I stopped by before inspecting an exhibition at Tokyo Big Sight (Tokyo International Exhibition Center). It was just past 10 o'clock in the morning, so I ordered the Egg McMuffin Combo (breakfast menu) for 250 yen with a drink, which was a small Premium Roast Iced Coffee. The McDonald's here offers FREE Wi-Fi (00_MCD-FREE-WIFI), and this time it was working well, although it may depend on the time and seating location.

For a children's extracurricular competition, we went to Ariake. For lunch, we went to McDonald's, which is my daughter's favorite. As a person from Kansai, I don't say "Mac," I say "Macdo"! Macdo is easier to say and sounds more delicious (to me). Since my student days, I have loved Chicken Tatsuta, and my daughter loves Chicken McNuggets. Chicken Tatsuta has been around for about 25 years. Since then, whenever Chicken Tatsuta is available, I always order it. Chicken Tatsuta is surprisingly juicy and light at the same time. The Big Mac is juicy and hearty, but Chicken Tatsuta also has a lightness to it. It's really delicious and I never get tired of it!
