McDonald’s Japan Unveils Adorable Shiba Inu Packaging for New Seasonal Sankaku Choco Pies

According to SoraNews24, this autumn, McDonald’s Japan has introduced a delightful touch of cuteness to their menu with the release of "Puppy Pies."

On October 9, McDonald’s added two new sweet pies to its lineup, but what caught the public's attention wasn't just the pies themselves—it was their irresistibly cute packaging. The pies are part of the seasonal Sankaku (Triangle) Choco Pie series, with the Black Sankaku Choco Pie making a comeback. It boasts an updated recipe and a brand-new flavor, the Sweet Potato and Caramel Sankaku Choco Pie, capturing the essence of autumn.

While customers praise the pies for their delicious taste, the packaging is stealing the spotlight. The Black Sankaku Choco Pie comes in a box featuring an adorable black Shiba Inu, complete with the kanji for “black” (“黒”) on its nose. Similarly, the Sweet Potato and Caramel pie features a cute Shiba Inu in a purply brown shade, representing the sweet potato flavor, with the kanji for “potato” (“芋”) displayed on its nose.

Fans Dub McDonald’s Shiba Inu-Themed Pies ‘Kuro Shiba’ and ‘Imo Shiba’ as Limited-Time Treats Captivate

These charming designs have led customers to affectionately name the pies “Kuro Shiba” and “Imo Shiba,” they’ve been showering the packaging with praise. Comments like “I want to eat the black Shiba Inu!” and “The Imo Shiba looks like a fox!” pop up online, while others note how the packaging alone makes them want to buy both pies.

The "Puppy Pies" have captured hearts, but they won’t be around long. The Sweet Potato and Caramel pie will be available until early November, while the Black Sankaku Choco Pie can be enjoyed until late December. Fans of these limited-time treats must act quickly if they want a taste of these adorable desserts. Additionally, customers can take advantage of another limited-time offering—Hello Kitty’s Samurai Mac burgers—before they disappear from the menu.
