Komeda Coffee's 'Dodeka' Menchi Burgers Go Viral for Epic Size and Taste

Komeda Coffee's new limited-time products, the "Dodeka Menchi Burger" and "Dodeka Cheese Menchi Burger," launched on October 16, 2025, are generating significant buzz on social media. True to their name, these burgers boast a "dodeka" (gigantic) volume and delicious flavor.

The "Dodeka Cheese Menchi Burger" has garnered particular attention. Komeda Coffee's official account describes it as: "Demiglace × Cheddar Cheese × Melted Cheese Sauce 🧀 The rich taste of cheese entwines with the menchi, a dish that will delight cheese lovers!" It promises a luxurious flavor that cheese enthusiasts won't be able to resist. Prices vary by store, ranging from 970 yen to 1,040 yen (tax included).

Even before their release, social media was abuzz with anticipation and surprise, with comments like "Komeda calling it 'Dodeka' themselves sounds serious" and "Even their regular burgers are huge." Users who have already tried the products shared their reactions: "Seriously huge 🍔" and "Juicy menchi with plenty of cheese, delicious and massive." There were also hopes for Komeda Coffee's famous "reverse photo fraud" – where the actual product is even bigger than it appears in pictures.

Regarding the rich cheese sauce, one user exclaimed, "The cheese is so melty it drips while you're eating it 🧀," hinting at its irresistible deliciousness. However, due to its sheer size, some found it challenging to eat, with comments such as, "Even though it seems standard for the bun to be served split in two, it was difficult to manage." There have also been reports of significantly higher prices (1,630 yen) through some delivery services, so customers should be mindful of how they purchase.

The "Dodeka Menchi Burger" and "Dodeka Cheese Menchi Burger" are limited-time offerings available until around late November 2025, or while supplies last. Don't miss the chance to experience Komeda Coffee's "limit-breaking" volume and the rich harmony of cheese this autumn!
