After releasing a colorful Earth-inspired burger, Orbi Yokohama continues to come up with unusual fast food creations—like this black burger bun that sandwiches a set of deep-dried frog legs.
The nature activity center's menu items are directly tied to museum exhibitions, and in this case, the unusual burger celebrates the Deadly Poison Exhibition. Since colors are often an indicator of a poisonous animal, this colorful burger is a clever way to highlight the exhibit on some of the world's most poisonous animals. If the frog legs sticking out of the burger seems too unappealing, the cafe also offers a Frog Egg Sweet dish that mimics the look of frog eggs, as well as a vibrant frog climbing up an earthy bank—kids will definitely get a kick out of both.
