Drury mentioned that the new burger was named as ‘Kuro Burger’ in Japan. ‘Kuro’ in Japanese refers to Black.
“[…] The Bun is kind of black with bamboo charcoal. The patties have black pepper and the onion and garlic sauce has squid ink added to it. Very appetizing black cheese,” Drury said about the ingredients of black burger.
She also said that Burger King Worldwide Inc (NYSE:BKW) currently doesn’t plan to bring this item to US. Sullivan added that the item may look disgusting but it might be delicious, which might be the only reason for it to attract many people in Japan.
Drury said that the only worrying factor about the ‘Black Burger’ is the charcoal in it, which might raise some Cosmogenic threat concerns. She added that the bamboo charcoal is still an unknown in this aspect.
