The Japanese burger chain Dom Dom Hamburger is going all in on seafood this season with its Marugoto Kani Burgers.

Perfect for avid seafood fans, Dom Dom's Marugoto Kani Burgers each feature an entire soft-shelled crab between two soft burger buns. In total, there are two types of Marugoto Kani Burgers to choose from. There's the returning Sweet Chili Sauce Marugoto Kani Burger, which is a fan-favorite flavor combination. There's also the brand-new Mild Curry Sauce Marugoto Kani Burger, which features a savory curry sauce. Both burgers also feature onions, lettuce, and cheese.

Both of the Marugoto Kani Burgers will be available a limited time starting on September 28, 2024, and Dom Dom will even serve the burgers with tiny flags featuring the chain’s mascot elephant, Domzo-kun.
