Nicknamed “Eguchi” in Japan: a cheeseburger with an egg on top. A 100% beef patty, melted Cheddar-style cheese and a soft round egg, seasoned with ketchup, mustard, onion and pickles. It costs only a little more than the plain cheeseburger and is far more filling.

The story

McDonald’s Japan added the Egg Cheese Burger to its regular menu on 26 October 2015, after a ten-day head start in three Shibuya restaurants. It arrived as one of three new burgers that the company deliberately gave people-like nicknames: Eguchi for this one, Babepo and Hamutasu for the other two. The marketing team said it hoped to hear people say “I’m hungry, let’s go and eat an Eguchi”, and the launch campaign offered free tastings to customers who actually shared those names, with up to four friends.

Nobody sells more burgers. McDonald’s began as a single drive-in run by Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California, and became a burger machine in 1948, when the brothers threw out most of the menu and rebuilt the kitchen like a production line. Ray Kroc, a salesman who sold them milkshake mixers, started franchising it in 1955 and later bought the brothers out.

More than 40,000 restaurants in over 100 countries.
