Say Hello To “Samurai Red!”
Yes, I may have an unnatural obsession with colored hamburger buns, like this one that Burger King Japan once rolled out – using tomato powder!
That’s right! The buns and cheese are red because of tomato powder, according to a company release. The burger came with a grilled onion slice plus “Angry Sauce” flavored with doubanjiang spicy chili bean paste. The chicken got lettuce and tomato.
The “Aka Samurai Beef” cost ¥540 – or $4.35. One reason I love Japan is that they just keep making colorful and imaginative burgers for the rest of the world to envy – like these ones!
“Hold Your Tongue!”
I would love to see if there is a unique flavor to a red bun, so I have to head to Tokyo to try it out! And don’t forget this “black tongue” burger as well!
“A Burger That Licks Back!”

Most unusual! Looks like something from a play kitchen.
Great point! I should make some colorful buns at home! You may have inspired me to do so!
Wonderful! Can’t wait, don’t forget the tiny ones!
What an amazing look!
Great color! The melted red cheese makes it look even more special.
Yes I need to play around with colors on some dishes…we’ll see how that goes! Thanks for the comment!
This week on Friday we will post a recipe for a green sauce using chlorophyll.
can’t wait to see!
Black pudding in a burger has to be the best innovation ever! I love black pudding, so will definitely be trying that!
Best wishes, Pete.
I would love to as well Pete…one day! Now that Alex and I are in New York, we plan to “pop across the pond” for a weekend in London!
