Black Kuro Burgers from Burger King Japan

Burger King in Japan is Back in Black with the release of a new line of Kuro (Black) Burgers that look very interesting. You may remember that we posted about the Black Ninja Burger last year. These new burgers take the dark side even further with the addition of black cheese. Yes, that’s right, black cheese!

The burgers come in two varieties, the Kuro Pearl and the Kuro Diamond. Kuro (黒) means black in Japanese and these burgers certainly live up to their name with a selection of black coloured ingredients.

They went on sale on 19 September and will remain on the menu for a limited time. Here is a brief outline of the two burgers.

Kuro Pearl Burger (KURO パール) 

The Kuro Pearl Burger features black buns (made from bamboo charcoal), a black pepper beef patty, black cheese (also coloured with bamboo charcoal) and a black Chaliapin sauce (a garlic, onion soy sauce coloured with black squid ink). The Kuro Pearl Burger costs 480 yen (USD$4.40).

Burger King Black Ninja Burger

Burger King Japan is just about to release its latest killer burger called the Black Ninja Burger. The Kuro Ninja or Black Ninja Burger features a pitch black bun that is coloured with bamboo charcoal, very similar to the popular Premium Kuro Burger that came out last year. The Black Ninja Burger also features an extra-large slice of flame-grilled bacon (called King’s Bacon) that protrudes out from the sides and looks like your burger is sticking its tongue out at you. The burger also comes with a whopper patty, hash brown, onions, lettuce, mayonnaise and a dark brown Chaliapin sauce, which is a garlic-onion soy sauce named after a Russian opera singer.

Why is it called the Black Ninja? Well basically the burger is meant to resemble to black hood of a ninja with the extra-large slice of bacon, the ninja sticking out its tongue. This is Japan after all, the land of all things cute!

The cute Black Ninja Burger

Japan has a mascot for everything and the Black Ninja Burger is no exception. Here is the cute new mascot for the Black Ninja Burger. You can get some Black Ninja character stickers when you order either a medium or large set meal.
