McDonald's Japan has announced a moon-inspired burger to honor the Mid-Autumn festival, an annual celebration of the full moon.

The burger is made with butter-dipped buns, a beef patty, smoky bacon, cheddar cheese, a tomato, and a sunny-side-up egg.

The "Gold Moon" burger will be available in Japan for a limited time, beginning September 29.



McDonald’s has been making some very posh, sometimes over-the-top, changes to its offerings of late. It unveiled a fine dining restaurant with table service, opened a 24-hour outlet that looks just like an Apple Store, and even offered a "McGold Card" — which promises a lifetime of meals—for grabs.



Now, the "Golden Arches" in Japan has unleashed a "Gold Moon" burger just in time for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, when families in Asia celebrate the full moon.



The luxe sandwich comes encased in fluffy, butter-dipped buns, which make a hearty exterior for the 100-percent beef patty, smoky bacon, cheddar slice, tomato, and sunny-side-up egg in its center.

The "Gold Moon" burger debuts on September 29 in locations across Japan. For a comparably gourmet experience in the US, you might want to hop over to McDonald's Minnesota restaurants to give its brunch-worthy "McGriddles" french toast a go.
