It looks like a sakura drink, but it gets its colour from a different blend of ingredients.
People in Japan will be the first in the world to find out what the unique flavour combination tastes like.
Each bottle can only be purchased in the specific tourist spot it was designed for, so tracking down all nine requires a Japanese road trip of epic proportions.
Happy Meal goodies even adults will want to get their hands on – Uno, Game of Life, Pop-up Pirate and other games get the McDonald’s treatment.
Longtime Ranma fans can indulge in a bevy of lovingly crafted dishes with clever nods to the series and even experience some VR entertainment while waiting for their orders.
Having a face like the back-end of a bus is less than desirable, but how about a face like the front of a train?

Unfortunately, we won’t be getting a Bulbasaur Broccoli McFlurry, but the new dessert looks equally amazing.
This year, customers can enjoy a citrus ingredient not often found on the Japanese mainland in Starbucks’ signature beverage.
One of Japan’s most distinctive flavours is blended into a McDonald’s milkshake for a limited time.
Each of the locally-themed designs will be limited for sale in different regions of the country.
