Burger King Premium Kuro Burger


As part of a "contrary to common sense" or "absurd" 非常識 campaign to celebrate 5 years in Japan, Burger King will begin offering a Premium Kuro Burger from Sept 28th. Kuro means black and this new Whopper size sandwich will have a black bun and a special ketchup sauce containing garlic and squid ink to turn it black. Squid ink is a common ingredient in Japanese food, just as it is in Italian food. 黒バーガー
