Burger King Japan has introduced a novel menu item dubbed the "Fake Burger," which is a unique twist on the restaurant's traditional burger. This burger is available for a limited time as an April Fool's promotion. The Fake Burger comprises a toasted bun filled with French fries, two slices of gouda cheese, and a generous helping of Bull’s Eye BBQ sauce. The Fake Burger is a follow-up to a similar fry burger released by Burger King Japan four years prior, which included French fries and a special meat sauce on a toasted bun.
The Fake Burger is priced at 390 yen, which is approximately $2.58 USD. It is available a la carte and cannot be purchased as a set meal. Customers looking to enjoy a full meal must order fries and a drink separately. The Fake Burger is a limited-time offering, available through April 16, 2024, and was introduced on April 1st of the same year. This product marks the second iteration of the Fake Burger to appear on Burger King Japan’s menu, having made its debut in October 2020.
