Dom Dom Burger, Japan's oldest hamburger restaurant chain, recently unveiled the ultimate burger for mushroom lovers: the Konya wa Maitake Burger.
The new Konya wa Maitake Burger, which loosely translates to "Maitake Burger for Dinner Tonight," is a fungi-heavy burger loaded with the crown jewel of Japanese mushrooms: maitake. In fact, the new burger features a whopping 200 grams of maitake mushrooms, alongside a beef burger patty, some crisp lettuce, and a rich teriyaki glaze.
The Konya wa Maitake Burger officially debuted on December 19th and is currently available for either lunch or dinner. And best of all, it's not as expensive as you might expect for a burger loaded with high-end mushrooms. Each burger will cost you just 890 yen, which is a little over $6 USD.
