Interesting. It looks burned. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cocomino, I guess it does look a bit burned. The buns are blackened with (竹墨).
DeleteWow, you really seem into fast food, especially Mac and BK. My husband loves Mac and could probably eat lunch there everyday if he didn't discipline himself not to. I have to say I get kinda sick to my stomach on their food. Freshness/Moss are ok on occasion, though. So, BK one time left Japan, right, then came back? Why're they around and not Wendy's? Do you know much about the market for foreign fast food chains?
ReplyDeleteThanks StarBrooke, I'm into food big time and do have a soft spot for burgers. I love the different types of fast food you can find in Japan and a lot of it is really good. Both Burger King and Wendy's were in Japan before pulling out of the market due to high competition and making a reappearance. Burger King closed in 2001 and reentered the Japanese market in June 2007. Wendy's has also entered the market again recently and you should hopefully see more of them popping up around Japan :)

I thought that black thing on top was maybe a big mushroom! Oops. No. ^^
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't really tempt me. My MosBurger loyalty remains intact!
Thanks Rurousha, Yeah, it probably isn't the most tempting thing I've seen but we will keep trying until we find something to tempt you away from Mos Burger :)

I have seen something like a black nikuman in China Town, Kobe. That burger kind of reminds me of those. I really would love to try it! ^-^
ReplyDeleteThanks ZJ, I would love to try the black nikuman in Kobe. It does look interesting and definitely worth a try at least once :)
DeleteJohn
Interesting.... colour. xD
ReplyDeleteThe only black (I mean, really black) food stuff I've ever eaten is a black chicken.
Thanks Lina, It is a very interesting colour. Have you had たけすみ before? I've had Jamaican Jerk Chicken before which was pretty black, but tasty :)
DeleteJohn
Wow another interesting burger! So unique because of its color. I will also wear black when eating that burger!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, It does look really interesting but hurry in as it is a limited edition burger. Would love to see a picture of you all in black eating the Premium Kuro Burger :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Dar, Unfortunately, Burger King is mostly in the bigger cities in Japan, but hopefully more and more will start popping up. Where are you in Japan?
ReplyDeleteJohn
Looks delicious! I can't wait to visit Japan!!! The country is one of my dream destinations. Hopefully, it will be next year :)
