Wendy’s Japan Has a Burger Layered with Three Fancy Cheeses, No Ketchup

Wendy’s Japan is really taking the burger game seriously. The fast food chain has recently launched their line of better-than-average burgers, dubbed Japan Premium, in their Japan-based locations. One burger from the menu includes three slices of pretty fancy cheeses, the likes of which are rarely seen in the fast food world, much less together in one sandwich.

The Mille-Feuille Cheeseburger is layered with Gruyere, Emmental and Camembert. The furthest the US got cheese-wise was Muenster, wethinks. The cheeseburger also comes with two patties of beef and lettuce on a brioche bun. Guessing all those lavish cheeses shouldn’t be encumbered by additional condiments.

The namesake of this new Japanese cheeseburger is the French mille-feuille, aka Napoleon, a three-layered puff pastry filled with pastry cream and topped with sugar and cocoa. That’s kind of close to a cheeseburger, right?

Patrons of Wendy’s Japan can purchase the Mille-Feuille Cheeseburger for 920 yen ($8.59 US).

The Japan Premium line also boasts the Iberico Bacon Mushroom Melt Burger (slices of Spanish Iberico bacon) and the Snow Crab Salad Burger (red snow crab in a paprika tartar sauce). They are available for 780 yen ($7.29 US) and 820 yen ($7.66 US), respectively.
