How does a fast food chain fashion a ninja out of a burger? First, naturally, by blackening the bun. While no one is sure how the black burgers will sell among the finicky Japanese, the nation is obsessed with fads and things that are “mesurashii,” or “amusingly odd.”. Weirdos !

The popular fast food restaurant has been selling the Kuro Burger since 2012, but the cheese layer is a whole new ingredient being unleashed for 2014. The black colouring comes from charcoal and is apparent in both the bun, and, as you can clearly see – the cheese. There’s also a squid ink, onion and garlic sauce to really top of the dark and pretty ghastly looking creation.

The ugly burger launches nationwide in Japan on September 19 with two varieties – one with salad and one without, mmm squid ink and bamboo charcoal. Delicious.
