The Surf & Turf burger features a beef patty and lobster, and is currently priced the same as the Lobster and Caviar burger above at roughly $16.10. BrandEating.com points out that the pricing model between both burgers is a bit curious, considering the Surf & Turf burger features considerably less luxury than the Lobster & Caviar burger.

Also on the Ocean Premium menu is an Ocean Premium Salad, which features lobster, caviar, avocado, egg, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and a blend of lettuce. The salad has a higher price tag than its burger brethren, sitting at 1580 yen or roughly $20.10.

These new Ocean Premium products join other Japan Premium menu items that include foie gras, truffles, porcinini mushrooms and thick-cut Iberico bacon.
