So now, watching her casually tear through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/food\/a60248192\/best-mcdonalds-are-in-japan\/\" target=\"_self\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/food\/a60248192\/best-mcdonalds-are-in-japan\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"a Japanese McDonald\u2019s haul\" data-node-id=\"0.3\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a Japanese McDonald\u2019s haul<\/a> in a dressing room has me considering a long, arduous flight to try everything she just ordered for myself.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Larson recently shared a \u201cspring edition\u201d McDonald\u2019s Japan taste test on the Instagram account for her cookbook Party People, and honestly, it\u2019s kind of rude how good everything looked. Filming while getting ready during a trip to Japan, she worked her way through a handful of items and scored each one using her own very important Party People punch bowl system.<\/p>\n<p>Related Story<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">First up was the Teritama burger, which combines teriyaki sauce, egg, cheese, and lettuce. Larson bit in and called it \u201cextremely good,\u201d giving it a 9 out of 10.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Then came the Shaka Shaka Chicken, which she described as a sort of fried chicken patty situation. The gimmick there is that you dump seasoning into the bag and shake everything up yourself before eating. Her packet was labeled &#8220;cheddar cheese,&#8221; though she noted that the flavor leaned more toward sweet-and-salty than sharply cheesy. That one earned 7.5 punch bowls.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The fries got the same interactive treatment, this time with pizza-flavored powder. Larson joked that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/food-news\/a71204439\/mcdonalds-fountain-soda-change\/\" target=\"_self\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/food-news\/a71204439\/mcdonalds-fountain-soda-change\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"McDonald\u2019s\" data-node-id=\"8.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">McDonald\u2019s<\/a> could easily season them for you, but clearly understood that the point is to do it yourself. Those landed at 8.5 out of 10.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But the real winner of the whole haul was the Sakuramochi strawberry pie, which Larson immediately fell for. She was already charmed by the packaging before she even took a bite, and once she did, it was game over. That one pulled a full 10 out of 10.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If her goal was to make Japanese McDonald\u2019s look impossibly appealing, mission fully accomplished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2 min read Key Points Brie Larson recently shared a taste test of seasonal McDonald\u2019s Japan menu items&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19638,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[316,15634,318,12818,8,317,33,6518,15633],"class_list":{"0":"post-19637","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japan","8":"tag-content-type-news","9":"tag-contentid-efa70efa-b5f3-4c5f-923a-879efda42d5b","10":"tag-displaytype-standard-article","11":"tag-issyndicated-false","12":"tag-japan","13":"tag-locale-us","14":"tag-nihon","15":"tag-read_time-2","16":"tag-shorttitle-brie-larson-tried-mcdonalds-in-japan"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
