TOKYO, Jan 28, 2020, Kyodo. McDonald’s Co. (Japan) said Tuesday that it will start offering its first series of rice burgers from next week for a limited time, to cater to a demographic that prefers to eat rice rather than bread for dinner, Kyodo News reported.
The burgers, available from Feb. 5 through the middle of May, will be the latest addition to the fast food giant’s special nighttime menu, available from 5 p.m.
The lineup will see the regular buns of three popular burgers at McDonald’s Japan restaurants replaced by aromatic buns made from 100 percent domestic rice, seasoned with soy sauce.
The Gohan Teriyaki burger will go for 390 yen ($3.60), while the Gohan Bacon Lettuce burger and the Gohan McChicken will be available for 410 yen each.
“Gohan” in Japanese can mean both “cooked rice” and “meal.”
“I want people to enjoy McDonald’s for dinner,” McDonald’s Japan vice president Atsuo Shimodaira said at a press conference in Tokyo.
