Wendy's "Pretzel Burger", which caused a big boom in the United States last year, has finally landed in Japan and is now on sale at each Wendy's store.

Apparently, the burger's characteristic " pretzel buns " triggered the big boom. Pretzels are baked goods that originated in Germany and are shaped like knots. What kind of taste and texture do pretzels have?

I don't know if it's moody, so I decided to go eat it too!

Now to Wendy's!
Now to Wendy's!

I came to the Wendy's Roppongi store, which is about a 3-minute walk from Roppongi station. Even at the store, the pretzel burger is displayed in the middle of the menu board.

After all it is recommended!

I was also worried that it contained prosciutto in addition to the pretzel buns, so this time I ordered the "pretzel prosciutto burger". The single item price is 780 yen.

Dawn! Pretzel is here! A ham that looks like a prosciutto is peeking through the buns. Let's check the inside at once.

When you open the buns, you'll find cheese, prosciutto ham, baby leaf, and tomatoes layered on a square square patty, along with tomato sauce and plenty of basil-style sauce. A lot of content. What about the taste?

Sprawl and bite. Wow, the buns are fluffy! Its habit is firm and chewy! Furthermore, the moment you bite into it, you can feel the gentle sweetness and fragrance. It's almost like maple ... it has a nostalgic scent. I see, what are pretzel buns like this! The taste, aroma and texture are clearly different from ordinary buns!

And the prosciutto you care about. When eaten with crispy baby leaf, tomato and basil-style sauce, it's like eating Genovese pasta. It's not that this combination isn't delicious! It's a taste that makes you miss early summer.

This alone is luxurious enough, but the square patties are even more punchy. It is a thick patty with firm fibers, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it spreads in your mouth.

Thanks to the chewy buns, or thanks to the gorgeous ingredients, my stomach, which had been crying sadly until a while ago, calmed down completely, and I ate a luxurious hamburger ... I was very satisfied with my mood. It's sad that Wendy's has only two stores in Tokyo (Roppongi and Akebashi), but I want to come back to eat again! It was delicious.
