Who Wants A “Pickleball Burger?” I Do!
Yes, it’s a unique take on a burger with a “pickleball” twist!
Pickleball is becoming a massively popular sport in the US…in fact, New York’s Central Park turns Wollman Rink into an outdoor pickleball arena every summer – take a look:
So what kind of burger works with this sport? Leave it to Japan to figure it out! As SoraNews24.com reports, Burger King Japan wants to hit one over the net:
Burger King is throwing its support behind pickleball this year by signing a sponsorship agreement with the Japan Pickleball Federation (PJF).
▼ Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis.
The burger chain is supporting a number of huge Pickleball tournaments in Japan, and is using the sport to unveil a wild new burger!
As SoraNews24 describes it:
“Called the Pickleball Burger, this new offering is said to be a “large, American-style rice burger”, with three flame-grilled 100-percent beef patties boldly sandwiched between special rice patties that have been jointly developed with Hachidaime Gihey, a long-established rice shop in Kyoto.”
That’s right: the buns are made out of rice!
But as they report, it’s not just ANY rice:
“Hachidaime Gihey’s expertise in the selection, milling, blending, and cooking of rice led to the creation of the newly developed patty, which has been crafted from a combination of carefully selected white rice and a type of brown rice known as Kin-no-Ibuki. This combination is said to be the perfect partner for the beef patties, enhancing the flavour of the meat while showcasing the natural sweetness of rice.”

Bite! Eat! Repeat! 
A rice burger is quite unique 🍔
Rice-burger . interesting! Do not eat the ones with buns (those are literally taken off 🙂 !) but the rice ‘wraps’ are of moderate interest . , trust the Japanese to come up with something new 🙂 !
I would happily try that burger, John!
Best wishes, Pete.
I have no words.
I’m in!
