MOS BURGER - "Mos no Natsumi" healthy lettuce burgers - Eat your burger in fresh lettuce instead of buns

On 4/23, one of the most popular burger chains in Japan, MOS BURGER, is releasing an interesting burger series called “Mos no Natsumi”. It’s a burger that sandwiches a patty between fresh lettuce, NOT BUNS.

It is true that anything called a “burger” or “sandwich” in Japan will be disappointing to visiting foreigners because it is “just not the same” – now MOS BURGER has proudly taken it one step further.

While people in North America have gotten used to sandwiches like the KFC “Double Down” (bacon and cheese between 2 deep chicken filets serving as the buns), MOS BURGER has gone the other way.

There are 6 kinds of burgers/sandwiches in the “Mos no Natsumi” lineup:

– Beef patty with vegetables and aurora sauce (320 yen)
– Teriyaki chicken (320 yen)
– Fish (300 yen)
– Shrimp cake (350 yen)
– Pork cutlet (340 yen)
– Chicken (280 yen)

Period of sales: from April 23 until the beginning of September.
