After introducing the Stacker 4 Whopper in Korea, Burger King has now launched another behemoth of a burger in Japan. Dubbed the “Spiciest Meat Wall,” Burger King Japan has put together the “Strong Magma Super One Pound Beef Burger” which continues its Strong Super One Pound Beef Burgers series.
The oversized menu option features four flame-grilled beef patties with two slices of cheddar cheese and garlic flakes spiked with spicy powder made with “Japan’s spiciest golden pepper” by Gion Ajiko in Kyoto. Layering on to the head is an original hot sauce and sliced onions all held between a sesame seed bun. Burger King Japan is offering to serve the burger cut in half, those that finish the Strong Magma Super One Pound Beef Burger will receive a celebratory sticker.
The Spicy Yakuyoke Whopper from Burger King Japan is a uniquely branded version of the chain s signature burger that boasts protective qualities to help people get through the New Year. The burger is named to suggest that it s helpful for warding off evil spirits or offering protection against bad luck, which is surely something people will gravitate towards at the end of 2020.
The burger itself is wrapped in red paper, a color that s associated with good fortune, and Burger King claims that the sauce used on the burger is its spiciest choice to date.
The burger, which functions like an edible amulet, can be seen in a commercial where Yakuyoke services are offered in temples to bestow people with its protective powers.
