For several years now, Burger King Japan has been adding to 'The One Pounder' series, which is a series of burgers that all feature [four beef patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-arch) sandwiched between two sesame seed buns. The chain has added four burgers to this series this year alone and the new 24/25 TOP burger looks to be the final addition for 2024. The 24/25 TOP burger features the expected four flame-grilled beef patties, along with fresh tomato and onion, pickles, special spicy sauce, and a creamy five-cheese sauce. The resulting color palette is a lot of red and white, which is considered to be a lucky or auspicious pairing for the new year. The 24/25 TOP burger is available now through January 2, 2025.
