Waxman Staff Writer Apr 1, 2016 10:08 PM UTC Still feel hungry after eating a Big Mac at McDonald’s? Well, feast your eyes on the new “Giga Big Mac” at McDonald’s restaurants in Japan. While a Big Mac in the U.S. has two beef patties — and basically looks like two burgers stacked on top of one another — the “Giga Big Mac” has four, with a bun in the middle separating each pair. Like the American version, it also consists of cheese, lettuce, onion, pickles, and a sauce made out of mustard and sweet relish. > [](https://twitter.com/grubstreet/status/716004972626837505) “It’s a novelty item, it’s meant to be shared,” a spokesperson for McDonald’s told TIME. The monstrous menu offering will be available for a limited-time, beginning April 6. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4279718/mcdonalds-japan-giga-big-mac/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4279718/mcdonalds-japan-giga-big-mac/"},"headline":"McDonald's Japan Serves Up the Biggest Mac of All Time","datePublished":"2016-04-01T22:08:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:31:19.292Z","description":"The \"Giga Big Mac\" is meant to be shared","url":"https://time.com/4279718/mcdonalds-japan-giga-big-mac/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
