We’ve seen black buns, blue buns, and red buns. All bread buns! Screw that, let’s use tomatoes.

It’s called the “Tomami Burger” (“toma” as in “tomato” and “mi” or 実 as in “fruit” or “seed”).

According to Model Press, each burger uses one big fucking tomato.

The meal deal (pictured below) is 880 yen or US$7.11. The burger is only available in the Mos Burger in Tokyo’s Osaki and will be offered for a limited time only.

The actual burger, of course, can look slightly different from the publicity pics.
