Fastfood chain store Lotteria will release a new type of burger from 20th May to mid-June in Japan - the ramen burger, which is pretty much ramen sandwiched by . It is a collaboration with ramen chain store Menya Musashi (麺屋武蔵).
Menya Musashi Ramen Burger (麺屋武蔵ラーメンバーガー) will be sold for 634 Yen each, which consists of a burger bun with ramen inside as well as char siu pork. The burger is also complemented with soup to go with the ramen.
If that is not enough for you, you can add an extra 100 Yen for extra portion.
While Lotteria's ramen burger is amusing in a way, I think I personally will be more interested in Kitakata ramen burger (喜多方ラーメンバーガー) instead:
The Kitakata ramen burger is from the city of Kitakata in Fukushima prefecture, which is known for its distinctive ramen according to Wikipedia. Using ramen as the buns of the burger, with other bits and bobs sandwiched in between. It's like taking everything out of a ramen bowl sans the soup, and shape that into a burger.

Lotteria always seems to have something crazy going on. Before they had the 10 patty burger and now a ramen burger. I'm really regretting not going to try some of their food when I went to Japan a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteAh yes Lotteria did have a Eva Q 9-layer burger not long ago, where 9 in Japanese has the same pronunciation as "Q" (kyuu). That monster of a burger reminds me of Windows 7 burger from Burger King upon Windows 7's launch in Japan back in 2009. ^^;
DeleteWhile I will not expect much out of Lotteria's ramen burger, I will be interested to try it out of curiosity; such thing is almost unimaginable outside Japan!
This actually looks good and wish we had a place selling it here. If it gets them in the door, then give it a try.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to try it out. I definitely have my eyes on the Kitakata version though!
DeleteWha...what the...
ReplyDeleteI want it
Strange combos really do draw attention, don't they? XD
DeleteRamen burgers... Kinda makes me sad I'm in the US hehe...
ReplyDeleteI am sure anyone of us outside Japan would feel missed out on this ramen burger!
