Japan's Mos Burger Uses Two Tomato Halves as a Bread Substitute

— July 29, 2015 — Lifestyle
Japanese eateries are no stranger to bizarre fast food items, but this time the Mos Burger chain has truly outdone itself with a surprisingly healthy bread substitute on its burgers.

The Toma-mi Burger is made with a locally grown Japanese tomato and holds together a burger made from basil and mozzarella, drizzled with an oil and balsamic dressing—essentially, the creation is like an Italian Caprese salad in burger form. The catch is that health-conscious individuals only have the chance to enjoy this unusual burger after 2 pm at a single Mos Burger outlet in Tokyo.

Other examples of alternative burger buns include ones made from noodles, cereal or meat, but none of these are quite as healthy as this plant-based bread substitute.
Trend Themes
1. Alternative Burger Buns - Opportunity for food companies to innovate and create alternative burger buns made from plant-based ingredients or unconventional materials.
2. Healthy Fast Food Options - Potential for the fast food industry to cater to health-conscious consumers by offering healthier menu choices, such as the Toma-mi Burger with a bread substitute made from tomatoes.
3. Japanese Fast Food Innovations - Japanese fast food chains like Mos Burger continue to push the boundaries of fast food by introducing unique and unconventional menu items like the Toma-mi Burger with tomato buns.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food Industry - Opportunity for fast food chains to innovate and attract health-conscious consumers by offering healthier and more creative food options.
2. Plant-based Food Industry - Growing market for plant-based food products as consumers seek healthier and more sustainable alternatives to traditional meat-based options.
3. Food Innovation Industry - Opportunity for companies in the food innovation space to develop new and alternative food products, such as plant-based burger buns made from tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella.
