McDonald's was first opened in Japan in 1971. There are now about 3,000 locations in the country.

We visited a branch near the iconic intersection of Shibuya crossing in Tokyo.

There were 13 burger options on the menu, along with shakes, sides and fries unique to the country.

We visited a McDonald's outlet in Tokyo, Japan. Here's everything we tried on the menu.

1. There are two different "Teriyaki" burgers on the menu — a standard Teriyaki burger.

2. And a Chicken Filet-o. The peppery, sweet sauce on both of these burgers was divine.

3. There are four different types of McFloat on the menu, which is Fanta soda — topped with a swirl of vanilla soft-serve Coke, Coffee, Grape, and Melon.

4. There's also a cheap value menu of just 100 to 150 yen for which you can get hot apple pie...

5 ... and Shaka Shaka chicken. This is a piece of fried chicken you put salt onto and shake in a bag. You can get it with red pepper or cheese salt.

6. There's a 'Gran' range of burgers, which replaces Quarter Pounders. The expensive 'Clubhouse' burger with streaks of bacon and cheese, Gran Bacon Cheese...

7. And Gran Garlic Pepper. The burger buns in McDonald's in Japan taste unique as they're so light and fluffy. Springy to the touch.

8. Some of the other burgers are the Bacon McPork...

9. An Egg Cheese Burger, which wasn't very cheesy.

10. And a Chicken Cheese Burger, with a nice load of cheese in it.

11. As well as standard Filet-o Fish, you can get an Ebi Filet-o, which is made with chunks of shrimp.

12. You can also get a side-salad pot with a sesame dressing. The foil lid for this snaps in two rather than peels back.

13. Shaka Shaka Potato Butter Soy Sauce is also on the menu. This is a sweet salt you can sprinkle on the fries, and tastes like butter.

14. Shakes include a Four Berry Shake, which smells and tastes like strawberry.

15. And you can get an Oreo McFlurry, with an option for 'extra Oreos'.
