Detective Conan collab sees popular burgers return to McDonald’s Japan
McDonald’s Japan has announced a new “Detective Conan” menu, which will include new variations of the popular Chicken Tatsuta burger.
The collaboration will feature a range of limited-time menu items, including variations of the popular Chicken Tatsuta burger alongside other themed side dishes, all packaged with exclusive “Detective Conan” designs.
This promotion coincides with the upcoming release of the latest “Detective Conan” theatrical film, “Detective Conan: Afterimage of the One-Eyed Flashback” which is set to premiere on April 18th, 2025.
“Detective Conan” is a long-running mystery manga and anime series by Gosho Aoyama and has captivated audiences since its serialization began in Weekly Shonen Sunday in 1994.
It has been released in English speaking regions under the name “Case Closed”.
The “Detective Conan” collaboration will introduce two burger variations: the classic “Chicken Tatsuta” and the new “Tartar Nanban Chicken Tatsuta”.
Additionally, as part of the “Night Mac” (Yoru Makku) menu, available after 5:00 PM, McDonald’s will offer “Rice Chicken Tatsuta” and the new “Rice Chicken Tatsuta Tartar Nanban”, which feature the burgers served on rice buns instead of bread.
All of the burgers will be served in limited-edition “Detective Conan” themed packaging.
Complementing these burgers are themed side dishes, including “Shaka Shaka Potato Potato Butter”, “McFizz Setouchi Lemon Yogurt Flavor”, and “McFloat Setouchi Lemon Yogurt Flavor”.
These limited-time offerings will be available from April 16th until the end of May 2025.
