McDonald's Company (Japan) Ltd. said Friday it will raise prices on hamburgers and other menu items on March 14 from 10 yen to 20 yen to counter factors that include the rising cost of raw materials.
The hike is in response to soaring prices of wheat, beef and other raw materials, as well as increasing costs for labor and transportation.
It will be the first price hike on burgers for McDonald's Japan since October 2019, when consumption tax went up to 10%.
The new price for a hamburger will be 130, yen up from 110, yen the company said. Prices will also go up on cheeseburgers, the Teriyaki McBurger and the Filet-O-Fish, among other products.
Small McShake will cost an additional 10 yen at 130, yen and customers will also have to pay 10 yen more for Chicken McNuggets, bumping the price to 590 yen for the 15-piece set.
Prices will also go up on set meals, some Yoru Macs items after 5 p.m., and many menu selections available by delivery.
