Even though other restaurants have been experimenting with black burger buns, this all black burger takes things to a darker and more extreme level. Created by Studio Ghibli, the soot sprite burger has been dubbed the Makkuro Burger (or "pitch black" burger) and hails from Japan, like many of its less macabre contemporaries. The Tokyo City View restaurant is featuring a Studio Ghibli exhibit where interested (and hungry) parties can enjoy the all black burger along with other fare.
In addition to black burger buns, this invention has a charred patty and is topped with more black add-ons. The soot sprite is a fictional black gremlin that inspired this dish, giving it a devious and impish quality.
