True fans of McDonald’s will remember the launch of the Yubari Melon series in 2022. This range of desserts includes the all-time favourite Twist Cone, McFlurry, and even takes centre stage in the Strawberry Sundae! We don’t know when they will be available, but keep your eyes peeled as we’ll be updating this space as soon as we get more information.
For the uninitiated, the Yubari Melon, or Yubari King, is not your average rockmelon. This particular cultivar is said to have only been developed in 1960, and is prized for its honeyed, ultra perfumed sweetness. They’re only grown in Yubari, Hokkaido, and a pair of these melons have gone for as much as five million yen!
On the soft serve front, there are two variations you can choose from: Yubari Melon Cone (price TBD) and Twist Cone (price TBD), where the latter comes with swirls of McDonald’s famed vanilla soft serve—perfect for those who want less of a melon-y flavour.
Then, there’s the Yubari Melon Strawberry Sundae (price TBD), where the melon soft serve comes in a cup, topped with strawberry sauce for a double dose of sweetness.
If you’re looking for something to cool off from the recent sweltering heat, go for the Yubari Melon McFlurry (price TBD) instead. This latest iteration of the much-loved McFlurry is speckled with chunks of Oreo, for a touch of chocolatey goodness in every sip.
In case you missed it, McDonald’s recently brought back the popular coconut soft serve and twist cone. Even better, the long-awaited McDonald’s McGriddles is back for a limited time, so get your hands on them ASAP.
