The Japanese fast-food chain McDonald's is gearing up for a significant transformation of its popular Samurai Mac burger line, set to launch on March 26, 2025. This revamped series promises to introduce exciting new flavors while retaining the hearty, beefy essence that fans love.
One of the standout additions is the 'Grilled Soy Sauce Style Egg Bacon Thick Beef' burger, priced from 570 yen. This innovative burger, developed to satisfy the palates of adult customers, features thick, juicy 100% beef that’s generously topped with a delightful mixture of egg, crunchy lettuce, smoky bacon, and rich white cheddar cheese, all sandwiched between specially toasted poppy seed buns.
Complementing this new offering is the 'Grilled Soy Sauce Style Double Thick Beef' burger, which has already made waves at 580 yen. It boasts two succulent beef patties, layered with two slices of flavorful cheddar cheese, providing an indulgent and filling option for meat lovers.
The excitement around these changes is further heightened by McDonald's decision to discontinue its 'Grilled Soy Sauce Style Bacon Tomato Thick Beef' burger, effective March 25, 2025, signaling a fresh direction in the burger lineup. Alongside this, the availability of tomato toppings will also come to an end.
In a bid to further engage its audience, McDonald's has announced a nationwide television commercial set to air starting March 25, 2025. This advertisement will feature the beloved actor Masato Sakai, who reprises his role as the brand ambassador for Samurai Mac. In a creative twist, Sakai will play dual roles, showcasing both a determined, samurai character and a hesitant, suit-clad version of himself. The commercial is designed to inspire viewers with the message, “Break out of your shell,” encouraging them to embrace their challenges.
Meanwhile, for those looking to enjoy a meal at McDonald's without breaking the bank, there are several tips to maximize savings while dining at the fast-food giant.
One of the best ways to save is by utilizing the official McDonald's app, which regularly offers coupons that can be combined for greater savings. With this free app, customers can apply multiple coupons on a single order, making each visit cheaper.
Another money-saving opportunity comes with the 'Hirumakku' promotion available on weekdays between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. This set deal includes a burger, side, and drink, allowing patrons to enjoy popular items like the Big Mac set at a lower price.
In the evenings, the 'Yorumakku' menu provides a wallet-friendly deal featuring a set of L-size fries and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, which customers can savor at a significant discount.
For those willing to engage with McDonald's marketing, the KODO survey rewards participants with free coupons exchangeable for items such as a small fries, Soft Twist, or a small drink, valued between 120 and 190 yen. This survey is quick and easy, presenting yet another way to enjoy McDonald's at a fraction of the cost.
Additionally, choosing specific side items and drinks within sets can also lead to notable savings. Some sides, like the Mac Frites or side salads, offer substantial value at 330 yen, while opt-in beverages like Vegetable Life 100 or Minute Maid Orange can be a wise pick due to their slightly higher pricing compared to other drink options, thus maximizing the total meal value.
With these new menu innovations and cost-saving strategies, McDonald's continues to cater to both the taste buds and wallets of its customers, aiming to provide satisfying dining experiences at competitive prices.
Eat well and save money at McDonald's, where enjoyment doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag!
