The innovative attempt at Kyoto Hanbao combines American hamburgers with Japanese white rice, presenting a unique texture and flavor, with an overall taste leaning towards the lighter side.
BBQ is delicious! The American burger combined with Kyoto rice brings out a new flavor.
My favorite in fast food restaurants is Burger King. I usually have the spicy Whopper, but this time they launched a new limited flavor, the "Kyoto Whopper," which includes a layer of "Hachidaime Gihei" rice that I really love. I was really curious about it.
I haven't had a regular-sized burger in a long time and was a bit shocked by its diameter and thickness! Comparing it to my hand says it all. In the end, I couldn't finish it and took half of it home.
The sauce is made with a ginger sauce infused with Japanese-style broth. I found the overall flavor to be rather mild, and the rice was unseasoned, which made it feel very much like eating a Japanese bento 😂
Overall, I wouldn't highly recommend this item, but if you're looking to try something new, it might be worth a shot. The rice is really good 😂
