Burger Update #3: Teriyaki Egg Burger w/ Cheese

When comparing two countries or cultures, especially two as different as Japan and the United States, I become very interested in things that are surprisingly the same. For example, linguistic similarities between people of the same generations (transcending language and culture), or that certain posture a baseball coach might have while his players are warming up. These things are not baffling, but in fact very revealing, as they show us that we are not as different as we may all think. There are of course many other shared qualities across the Pacific, and one of them is big, bad giant of the fast food industry.
Unlike socio-linguistic research, McDonald's is something that brings more disappointment when I find things to be exactly the same. The Big Breakfast tastes the same, as does the Quarter Pounder. They don't even use pounds here, as they have the metric system. So as a result, a rare trip to McDonald's in Japan usually includes something unique to the Japanese menu. The Teriyaki Burger. The Chicken Tatsuta. The Karakara Chicken. What is even the same in Japan with all of those is that they too taste okay going down but leave you in a mess an hour later.
During my last trip to McDonald's I had to try a sandwich I had not seen before: the Teriyaki Egg Burger w/ Cheese, pictured below.

This strange combination actually sounds like it could be a good idea. If you have tried the Teriyaki Burger from the golden arches over here, you may agree with me that it is more of a sausage patty than a hamburger patty. A little peppery, and with the teriyaki sauce, a decent combination. When they added egg and cheese to that, I found it to be surprisingly similar to a Sausage McMuffin with Egg. But, you know, with teriyaki sauce. Bad is definitely too strong of a word, but I don't think I'd order it again from there. From another place it might work, but with McDonald's world-renowned quality (or lack there of), it really just didn't deliver. Unless of course, your idea of delivering is that same bad feeling in the gut that all of their other sandwiches bring me too.
I'll have to get started on making a better one myself at home!
