Fast food chains in Japan never cease to amaze us with their new creations every season. McDonalds Japan, especially, is now serving a seafood version of its ever popular chicken nuggets.

The Japan-exclusive Puripuri Ebi Purio shrimp nugget was first introduced in 2006 as a one-off, seasonal special, but it has now made a comeback for a limited time. Each nugget is seasoned with salt, pepper and a hint of garlic, so you can eat it as is without any dipping sauce.

Do note that while the product is advertised as a shrimp nugget, it contains some traces of beef. The Puripuri Ebi Purio goes for ¥260 per box of five pieces and it’s available until the end of October 2023. 

After 5pm, you can get an evening set of chicken nuggets and Puripuri Ebi Purio (five pieces each) plus a large fries at a special discounted price of ¥620. 

Visit McDonald’s Japan website for more information.
