McDonald's (Japan) said Tuesday it will raise the prices of about 60% of its menu items by ¥10 ($.06) to ¥50 starting on Wednesday.

The markups reflect higher material, energy and labor costs, according to the hamburger chain.

The Big Mac will see its tax-inclusive price rise from ¥480 to ¥500. Prices will also go up by ¥20 for all three sizes of McFry french fries.
The price of the cheeseburger will also increase by ¥20, following a price hike in March last year.

Meanwhile, the prices of items such as a hamburger and the Teriyaki McBurger will remain unchanged both on their own and for combo meals.

The size of the price hikes will differ at some stores, including those at airports and in urban areas, as well as for delivery services, the company said.
