It’s almost time to dip into a world of jujutsu sorcerers and sinister spirits with McDonald’s latest Japanese-influenced sauce.
The fast-food chain will launch its Special Grade Garlic Sauce on July 9 inspired by the supernatural anime “Jujutsu Kaisen.” It will be solely available for a limited time through the McDonald’s App, the company said in a news release.
The new condiment takes inspiration from McDonald’s Japan’s Black Garlic Sauce offering a unique mixture of garlic and soy sauce with a slight tangy sweetness.
The company will host a tasting event for the press in New York City on July 8 ahead of its release hosted by anime food show host Alvin Zhou.
“Jujutsu Kaisen” is an action anime based on the beloved Japanese manga series by Gege Akutami and Ballad Kitaguni.
McDonald’s has never been afraid of testing out new sauces for its menu.
Last October, the company added two limited edition sauces including the Sweet & Spicy Jam and the Mambo Sauce.
The ”sweet and spicy jam” was a red pepper dipping sauce that combined Szechuan peppercorn, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Meanwhile, the MamboSauce was a “tomato-based, sweet, spicy and vinegary sauce,” inspired by Washington DC.
However the sauce will only be available while supplies last, so if you want to collect them all, make sure to order early. You could also try pairing it with the new $5 value menu that McDonald’s is also offering for a limited time.
