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.

The sauces are available for a limited time while supplies last and the streaming offer comes with its own set of terms.

At least one person is dead, and 10 others hospitalized after what’s being described by authorities as a 48-foot-pleasure craft with 11 passengers aboard crashed in the waters off Long Beach Wednesday night.  

Crews with the Long Beach Fire Department responded to the area of the Los Alamitos Bay jetty just before 9:30 p.m. on reports that a vessel had run into the rocks, overturned and began taking on water, Long Beach fire officials confirmed to KTLA.  

When first responders arrived at the scene, it was determined to be a mass casualty incident.

Five other passengers required physical rescue, authorities added.
