McDonald's Japan's Wildly Spicy Rice Burger Is Not for the Faint of Heart

After the debut of the Spicy Shrimp Burger and the return of the fiery-red Spicy Chicken McNuggets, McDonald’s Japan is heating up for the winter with its new Gohan Kara Dabuchi. When translated to English, Gohan means rice, Kara is a short alternative word for spicy and Dabuchi is short for Daburu Chizu which means double cheese — put all together, the new fiery offering is a Spicy Double Cheese Rice Burger.Get more news about Rice Burger Forming,you can vist our website!

The Spicy Shrimp Burger debuted in September utilizes a Japanese red pepper powder called akatogarashi, but now the Golden Arches is taking it up a few notches with its latest rice burger which stacks two all-beef patties with cheese slices infused with habanero powder and several slices of habanero chili all sandwiched between buns in the form of grilled Japanese rice.

Just a few years ago, McDonald's Japan introduced what's become a well received exclusive night menu for big eaters in Yoru Mac (Night Mac). Available after 5:00pm, the menu allows customers to double the existing amount of patties on any standard burger on the menu for an extra 100 yen. Another appeal to the menu is that it's the only time you can order their limited-edition savory rice burgers.

Typically whenever the Gohan Burgers (Rice Burgers) are released, the toppings that are picked are the ones from McDonald's Japan's normal menu that best pair with the densely packed 100% domestic rice cooked in savory soy sauce that replaces normal buns, but sometimes they bring back a limited edition favorite or whip up a new one. Both are true with the newest trio of Gohan Burgers, as fans of McDonald's rice burgers will be able to enjoy teriyaki, short rib, and soy sauce crispy chicken for a limited time starting November 2.
The new trio of burgers uses 100% koshihikari rice from Niigata Prefecture, highly regarded in Japan. The lineup of three offers the popular Gohan Teriyaki Burger, and introduces the Gohan Karubi and Gohan Chicken with Rich Soy Sauce. Here's a look at each burger.

The returning Gohan Teriyaki uses a tasty pork patty tossed in a sweet and spicy ginger-flavored teriyaki sauce that's featured in McDonald's standard popular Teriyaki McBurger, and is said to be an even better pair with the rice buns. It's available for 420 yen à la carte and 720 yen in a set.

Another fan favorite but new to the rice burger series is the Gohan Karubi, which serves an umami- rich thin-sliced karubi 100% beef patty marinated in McDonald's special spicy sauce, topped with crisp lettuce, and sweet lemon sauce. Available for 510 yen a la carte and 810 in a set.

The Gohan Chicken option offers a lightly battered chicken patty with a savory soy sauce that has a lingering sweetness but a bit of a punch from the generous amount of onion and garlic used in the soy sauce-based sauce, and is topped with lettuce and cheddar cheese. Available for 440 a la carte and 840 in a set.
