McDonald’s Japan Serving Up a Spicy Rice Burger

McDonald's Gohan Kara Dabuchi

Rice burgers first made their way to McDonald’s Japan menus last year, allowing for a variety of iterations to follow. The newest variety is a spicy one dubbed Gohan Kara Dabuchi — which in a way translates to “Spicy Double Cheese Rice Burger.” Apparently it’s spicy enough for The Golden Arches to warn Japanese customers to be cautious of its spice level.

Habanero chilies are used to kick up the spice level a couple notches, which can be found as slices in the burger and in the habanero powder used in the slices of cheese.

The Gohan Kara Dabuchi is priced at 440 yen (US$3.85) and is available for a limited time and only after 5 p.m. as part of McDonald’s Japan’s “Yoru Mac” (“Night Mac”) menu.
