Last week we reported that the McRib had returned to Japan. Since then, the Web has been buzzing with details of their version of the McRib. I have found one blog that has a series of pictures of the McRib from it’s unveiling from the wrapper, to the tray insert, to various shots of the McRib itself Japanese McRib via Blog Post.
Additionally, I received another images of this McRib from a California resident visiting Japan.

While checking my twitter account this evening, I began noticing these posts:
I thought to myself, “No Way! I haven’t heard of McRibs in Japan before!”. I had to check it out. I clicked on one of the links to find this:
I know about zero Japanese (okay, I take that back, I know about 0,0001% … “Konnichiwa and Sayonara”), so I migrated over to google translate to find something like this …
“Makkuribu” is Patti and juicy pork, sweet barbecue sauce complements the taste well, fresh, crisp lettuce, onion, lemon sauce that contains a suite,a hearty dish. “Double Mac rib” is “Makkuribu” pork products Patty’s another addition to the product’s hearty appetite for perfect autumn.”
Mmmmmmmmmm.
One more thing to check. McDonalds Japan. After randomly clicking here and there, I found the answer:
Anyone up for a trip? Do we have any fans from Japan? Would love to feature you here on the blog! Email us your photo (with a McRib of course) to: photos@mcriblocator.com
I recently received an email from a source (thanks Stephen!) at Lopez Foods in Oklahoma City indicating that McRib patty production ramping up. They have increased production to 7 days per week in order to generate enough of the McRib patties for release in the near future. The McRib production goes to 7 day per week production, and as soon as the quota is reached, the McRibs patties are distributed to McDonalds.
For those of you that are not familiar with the suppliers for McDonalds, Lopez Foods is a family owned facility in Oklahoma City, OK. They are one of the main suppliers of Canadian Bacon, Hamburgers, Sausage Patties, and McRib patties to McDonalds and other corporations. Searching through the McDonalds site you can look for their suppliers and see their content for Lopez Foods.. Back in April of this year, Lopez Foods was showcased on Oklahoma Horizon. Here is the link to their video.
With the increased production, all signs indicate that the McRib will again be returning sometime yet this fall. Last year’s soft release in mid-October, and the patty production increase may hint to a similar release time frame this season.
