Recently, the Japanese game director Hideo Kojima was enjoying the McDonald’s Samurai Burger with some fries. While that may not sound like groundbreaking news, there is a reason why Kojima was extremely lucky to have that meal.
For the next month, having McDonald’s fries in Japan could be as difficult as getting your hands on a PlayStation 5.
