The Premium KURO Burger

Burger King Japan is just about to release the Premium KURO Burger (黒バーガー) to celebrate their 5th come back anniversary in Japan. The limited edition Premium KURO Burger will hit the Burger King menu on Friday, September 28th.

The burger features a Whopper sized paprika flavoured beef patty, and is topped with tomato, onion, lettuce and pickles. The sauce features mayonnaise and a special dark ketchup coloured and flavoured with garlic and squid ink (いかすみ). The burger’s buns are also blackened with the use of bamboo charcoals (たけすみ).

The burger will be priced at 450 yen (AUD$5.50) for just the burger, or 790 yen (AUD$9.60) for a medium size set (Mセット).

If you purchase a Premium KURO Burger medium size set (Mセット) with a Coca Cola Zero for 790 yen (AUD$9.60) or a Premium KURO Burger and drink set for 670 yen (AUD$8.20) you can refill your Coca Cola Zero for free.

  2. Wow, 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?

    1. Thanks 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 :)

  3. I thought that black thing on top was maybe a big mushroom! Oops. No. ^^

    It doesn't really tempt me. My MosBurger loyalty remains intact!

    1. 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 :)

  4. 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! ^-^

  5. Interesting.... colour. xD

    The only black (I mean, really black) food stuff I've ever eaten is a black chicken.

    1. 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 :)

  9. Thanks 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?
