As autumn rolls in, McDonald’s Japan once again brings back one of its most beloved seasonal traditions – the Tsukimi Burger series. Since its debut in 1991, the Tsukimi Burger has been a fan favorite, celebrating the traditional Japanese Tsukimi (月見) or “moon-viewing” season. This year, McDonald’s offers three delightful variations, including the classic Tsukimi Burger, the Cheese Tsukimi, and the all-new Hojun Fuwa Toro Tsukimi Burger.
What Makes the Hojun Fuwa Toro Tsukimi Burger Special?
The Hojun Fuwa Toro Tsukimi Burger is the star of this year’s lineup, offering a rich and indulgent twist on the classic. Designed to provide a more luxurious experience, this burger features a soft and fluffy steamed bun, a juicy beef patty, creamy cheese sauce, and a perfectly cooked egg with a slightly runny yolk symbolizing the full moon. The egg, of course, is the highlight of any Tsukimi burger, paying homage to the moon-viewing tradition.
This year’s special element is the addition of the hojun (芳醇) sauce, a rich and mellow blend of soy sauce and butter, giving the burger a deeper, more sophisticated flavor. The combination of soft textures and bold tastes is meant to evoke the feeling of enjoying the cool autumn air while gazing at the moon.
A New Seasonal Favorite
This year, the Hojun Fuwa Toro Tsukimi Burger stands out as the latest addition to McDonald’s Japan’s autumn lineup, making its debut for the first time in 2024. Alongside the beloved Tsukimi Burger and Cheese Tsukimi Burger, this new creation brings a fresh take to the classic autumn flavors, offering something new for even the most seasoned Tsukimi fans.
What People Are Saying
Those who have already tasted the Hojun Fuwa Toro Tsukimi Burger have been quick to praise its rich flavor and comforting textures. One customer commented, “The bun is incredibly soft, and the soy butter sauce adds a whole new dimension to the familiar Tsukimi taste. It’s like a warm hug in burger form.” Another said, “The egg is always the best part of a Tsukimi burger, but the hojun sauce really took it to the next level. It feels more indulgent than ever.”
With reviews like these, it’s clear that this new burger has quickly become a must-try for anyone who loves McDonald’s seasonal offerings.
