Japan’s Burger Kings Sell Black Burgers Colored With Bamboo Charcoal And Squid Ink

ADVERTISEMENT

We all know that Japan is great at coming up with cute food, but it turns out that they’ve got a talent for strange and exotic dishes as well. They decided that the traditional burger was getting a bit boring, so Burger King Japan decided to make their burgers black.

The Kuro Diamond and Kuro Pearl burgers owe their striking appearances to black cheese, black garlic sauce, and a completely black bun. The bun and the cheese are colored by bamboo charcoal, while the garlic sauce is colored with squid ink. Both are commonly used as food additives in Japan.

The black bun is colored with bamboo charcoal

The cheese also uses bamboo charcoal, while the garlic sauce uses squid ink

Would you eat a black burger?

Black Cheese is a bit much for me, but using squid ink to make the sauce and bread is cool.

maybe they should make all fast food black or blue then people wouldn't want to eat it as much. It would save me from some bad choices lol.

Here in the United States, we like for our food to look like food and not something burnt or spoiled!!!

U.S. marketing opportunity: Black burger with flames appliquéd on the bun = Hot Rod Burger!
