McRib sandwiches are available at McDonald’s restaurants in Japan perhaps 1-2 times a year for about 2-3 weeks each time. Last time, I read the wrapper it came in and it said, “ **Pork meat is used in the patty, but not pork rib meat**.”

When I visited Thailand, the McDonalds there offered something called a “Samurai Pork Burger.” I’d be very disappointed if you can’t get a Samurai Pork Burger in Japan!
