McDonald’s Japan is collaborating with Morinaga Milk Industry’s popular long-selling products Mt. RAINIER Caffè Latte to release the McShake x Mt. RAINIER Caffè Latte to McDonald’s branches across Japan for a limited time from September 18.
Mt. RAINIER Caffè Latte is known for its tempting mix of rich aromatic espresso and full-bodied milk, and those flavours are about to meet another sumptuously compatible partner: the McShake. By using the McShake, which has a distinct creamy texture and subtle sweetness, McDonald’s has redefined the Mt. RAINIER Caffè to create an incredibly refreshing dessert-like coffee drink.
Only the best coffee beans are used in Mt. RAINIER and are sourced from 60 countries around the world. The new McShake beverage has a shot of full-bodied coffee syrup made from the extract of those pressed coffee beans for a harmonious amalgamation of flavours.
The drink is available in small and regular sizes, with small sizes only coming served in a special cup with the Mt. RAINIER Caffè Latte logo on it. These cups are limited in stock.
McDonald’s Japan is also holding a hashtag campaign to give 100 random people an original McCard and one case of Mt. RAINIER Caffè Lattes. Details below.

McDonald’s locations across Japan are now offering Curious George and Sumikko Gurashi Happy Meals for a limited time! The Curious George set features six different toys that can be assembled and controlled by turning the gears. This year’s theme is inspired by creativity, shape recognition, and teaching children how things work. When the colorful gears on the toy are turned, the force is transmitted to the swing, Ferris wheel, seesaw, and other items, causing George to swing and spin! The first set of toys include ‘George’s Seesaw,’ featuring George and the Man in the Yellow Hat, and ‘George’s Swing,’ featuring George happily swinging back and forth. The second set will include ‘George’s Ferris Wheel’ and ‘George’s Rocket Ride.’ The Sumikko Gurashi includes six kinds of puzzles decorated with illustrations of popular characters. The theme of these toys is color and shape recognition, imagination, and communication. The front side of each puzzle shows Sumikko and Minikko, and the backside displays an illustration of a story related to a particular Sumikko character. By putting the pieces together one by one, children develop their ability to recognize shapes and move their fingers with increased dexterity. The inside of the case that comes with the puzzle is decorated with stories about Sumikko and her friends. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Sumikko Gurashi, a new character called ‘Deshi’ will appear on the case as well, and by scanning the QR code on the back of the case, customers can play an original mini-game! From January 8 until January 10, participating locations will also be giving away Curious George and Sumikko Gurashi stickers with the purchase of each set.
