Burger King Japan has definitely been on a tear when it comes to super-sized burgers recently. With a Tokyo Teriyaki Tower Super One Pound Beef Burger, messy Ugly Burgers, and even all-you-can-eat one pound beef burgers, it's safe to say the King has been putting a priority on customers with big appetites.
Maybe that's why their new limited-time-only Natsukoi Set (Summer Love Set) is opting for a more refreshing route this summer. At a special summer beachside pop-up shop, Burger King will be serving customers with the world's first Ice Whopper!
You might be scratching your head as the idea of an "Ice" version of the flame-broiled Whopper seems to be at odd with itself, but it appears Burger King intends for this to be a way to break of the scorching heat in Japan for a special celebratory event. The Summer Love set contains the Ice Whopper, which is the classic Whopper topped with a layer of shaved ice. The set also comes with an extremely ice cold bottle of Coca-Cola.
The limited meals will be sold at a pop-up shop located at Morido Beach Beach House OASIS in Hayama-cho, Miura-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture, where the god of love is said to reside--explaining the set's name. As this is the first time in three years (due to pandemic countermeasures) the beach area will be open, this appears to be a way to offer some surprisingly chilled celebratory refreshments.
The Summer Love Set, priced at 1,000 yen, requires the purchase of a pre-order ticket. Tickets will be available for purchase on August 10 (Wed.) at 11:00 a.m. from the pre-order site. Customers can then pick a preferred time at the available dates to pick up their set (listed below), but as there are only 80 sets available will need to act fast.
Friday, August 19, 2022: 16:00-17:00/17:00-18:00/18:00-19:00/19:00-20:00
Saturday, August 20, 2022: 11-12:00 / 12-13:00 / 13-14:00 / 14-15:00
Limited to 80 sets.
Burger King will also be running a Moeru Natsu Koi campaign (Burning Summer Love campaign) from Monday, August 15, 2022 (13:00) to Sunday, August 28, 2022 (23:59). 10,000 people selected will be DM'd a coupon if they follow retweet Burger King Japan's Twitter account's (@BURGERKINGJAPAN) campaign Tweets that nets a free Whopper set when ordering a Whopper set.
