The “KYOTO Whopper®” features a flame-grilled 100% beef patty topped with a newly innovated “special rice patty,” made from a blend of 2024 harvested white rice and Kin no Ibuki (brown rice) just for the “KYOTO Whopper®”, along with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion. It is finished with a “special Japanese-style ginger sauce” consisting of “dashi soy sauce” which holds the rich umami of four types of dashi (bonito, mackerel shavings, shiitake mushrooms, and kelp) and infused with four traditional Japanese spices (roasted chili pepper, Japanese pepper, ginger, and dried citrus peel.) This burger brings together tradition, flavor, and expert craftsmanship, allowing you to fully enjoy the delicious combination of meat and rice.

We invite everyone in Japan, as well as visitors from around the world, to experience the “KYOTO Whopper®”—a Japan-exclusive burger created through the collaboration between Burger King® Japan and Kyoto’s renowned rice vendor, Hachidaime Gihey. This burger is sure to amaze people worldwide!
