McDonald’s to launch new app exclusive item inspired by Japanese menu

McDonald’s is set to roll out a new sauce that’s inspired by a similar item offered at its restaurants in Japan.
The new Special Grade Garlic Sauce features “notes of garlic and soy sauce, balanced with a slight tangy sweetness,” McDonald’s officials said.
The sauce is inspired by the fast food titan’s popular Black Garlic Sauce sold in Japanese McDonald’s stores.
The sauce launches nationwide on July 9, and while you won’t have to travel all the way to Japan to try it, you will need to make an eligible purchase using the McDonald’s app.
In honor of the new menu item and to celebrate its Japanese inspiration, McDonald’s has partnered with the popular anime series “Jujutsu Kaisen.”
The show tells the story of Yuji Itadori, “a boy with tremendous physical strength,” but a completely ordinary high school life.
“One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by curses, he eats the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High School,” the series description reads.
The sauce packaging will feature eight unique lid designs starring characters from the hit show and each purchase of the new Special Grade Garlic Sauce unlocks a free 30-day trial of Crunchyroll , the massive anime and manga streaming platform. Full episodes of “Jujutsu Kaisen” are available for streaming through Crunchyroll.

“Grab the Special Grade Garlic Sauce for free with any order of Chicken McNuggets, or pair it with your go-to order on the McDonald’s App to make a meal fit for any sorcerer,” McDonald’s announced in a news release.
The sauces are available for a limited time while supplies last and the streaming offer comes with its own set of terms.
