Burger King France has introduced a new Naruto menu to celebrate the iconic anime franchise. The team features meals for a limited time that celebrate the most iconic rivals from the series: naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. There are two special meals in total, nodding to the characters and this campaign is set to run through to January 27th.
Diners are able to select from the menu which is comprised of the lame-grilled beef patty which is served in a white sesame seed bun and melted cheese. It is also joined by fried onions, lettuce, and an orange soy sauce to nod to Naruto. The Sasuke meal swaps the beef for crispy chicken with a touch of ketchup.
