Is This Halloween Burger Purple?
In Japan, Halloween is an especially fun time of year, and no meal is complete without a tasty burger. You might be curious about the taste of a purple burger sauce. Rocket News 24 tried one for a Halloween party and came away a little confused. Is this Halloween burger purple or just a little purple? The answer is neither. In this article, we’ll look at some of the most popular choices, including the Ghost Whopper, Squid Ink Burger, Purple Magic Bacon Double Excellent Cheeseburger, and Lotteria’s coffin-shaped box.
Ghost Whopper
This year, Burger King Japan is channeling the Halloween spirit with a zombie-themed promotion. It has opened a new Shibuya Ghost Shop in Shibuya Station. This location is well-known for its Halloween revelry. Ghost-themed food will be available on its menu, and customers can enjoy a 500-yen set with the Ghost Whopper. Here’s how you can score one of these tasty treats:
During October, Burger King will serve a Ghost Whopper that’s essentially a Whopper with a flame-grilled 100% beef patty. The burger features cheddar cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The white sesame buns, which look ghostly, have a soft and chewy texture. The Ghost Whopper is only available at 10 Japanese restaurants.
The menu for the new Ghost Whopper is accompanied by special posters, which feature haunted-looking hamburgers, fries, and nuggets. The ghost-themed restaurant also created posters featuring messages such as “No Whopper after Life” and other haunted-themed menus.
Although Burger King’s Ghost Whopper isn’t new, it’s worth looking out for limited editions in your area. This year, the chain is launching a new white-cheese-flavored bun for the Halloween season. Only a few locations will offer the Ghost Whopper, but the rest of the country will be able to enjoy the special burger until the end of October.
Squid Ink Burger
McDonald’s will test a new menu item for Halloween. The Squid Ink Burger is made with black sesame buns, beef patties, cheddar cheese, fried onions, and two types of sauce – a squid-ink sauce and a regular one. The burger is currently only available at three branches in Tokyo’s Shinjuku neighborhood, but will soon be available throughout the country. This seasonal dish is perfect for cooler weather, when the days get longer and the nights grow darker.

As part of their Halloween promotion, McDonald’s Japan will also be serving “Kuro Burgers,” which are regular hamburgers served in jet-black buns. McDonald’s Japan will offer a similar special burger that features two black hamburgers. The buns, however, will be colored with real squid ink, not bamboo charcoal. The burger will come with cheese and fried onions and will cost about 370 yen or $3.40 USD.
