Over the years, I've heard many stories of couples visiting Japan and one or the other does not like sushi or other Japanese delicacies and they opt instead for a McDonald's hamburger.
Well, those people will be paying a bit more for that hamburger as McDonald's Japan is going to raise prices.
According to the Japan News (Yomiuri Shimbun):
McDonald’s Company (Japan) Ltd. said Friday it will raise prices on hamburgers and other menu items on March 14 from ¥10 to ¥20 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%.
