Inspired by the Black Garlic Sauce from Japan’s McDonalds, the fast-food giant is launching a new dipping sauce for its McNuggets. Its new Special Grade Garlic Sauce is inspired by and in collaboration with the Japanese manga series “Jujutsu Kaisen.”

McDonald's is launching a new Special Grade Garlic Sauce for its McNuggets that also feature with anime character-inspired lids.

Starting July 9 customers can get the new dipping sauce. But there is a catch. You can only get the new sauce through the McDonald's app. It’s also available for a limited time only. The sauce is described in a news release as a garlic and soy sauce blend with a "slight tangy sweetness." It's expected to be at all Michigan McDonalds.

Like other McDonald’s sauces, this new Special Grade Garlic Sauce is an option when you order McNuggets. The dipping sauce is also available on its own.
