McDonald’s Japan announced on February 24 that it will increase prices by ¥10 to ¥50 on about 60% of its menu items effective Wednesday. Specific changes include the Double Cheeseburger rising from ¥450 to ¥480, the Big Mac from ¥480 to ¥500, and the medium-sized McFry from ¥330 to ¥350.
The company attributes the hikes to prolonged increases in raw material costs, energy expenses, and labor costs. This is the first price adjustment since March of last year.
The move comes amid ongoing cost pressures in the fast-food sector, though no further details on broader impacts were provided.
