Burger King's 'Pinetsukimi Burger Large' Tasting Review: Enlarged and with Two Pineapples

Burger King's ' Pine Tsukimi Burger Large ' and ' Chipotle Pine Tsukimi Burger Large ', which use golden pineapples instead of eggs as the moon, were released on Friday, August 30, 2024. The '

Pine Tsukimi Burger ' that appeared in 2023 was enlarged from about 9 cm in diameter to about 13 cm, and the new Tsukimi Burger, which increased the number of golden pineapples from one to two, was enlarged from about 9 cm in diameter to about 13 cm. I actually bought it at Burger King and tried it to see what kind of volume it had.

Last year's popular 'Pineapple Tsukimi Burger' has been significantly improved! Made with juicy, authentic golden pineapple! A large size with a diameter of about 13 cm has also been added! Choose from two types of burgers, including the popular spicy 'Chipotle'

'Pineapple Kimi Burger' released today!

This year, we're using golden pineapple, which has a strong sweetness that goes perfectly with flame-grilled beef, and we're also introducing a new large size, the same size as the Whopper!

You can choose from two types: 'Pineapple Tsukimi' with its addictive balance of sweetness and sourness, and 'Chipotle' with its mature, delicious spiciness!

Please give it a try! #BurgerKingpic.twitter.com /G1Q21jMwyP

Arrived at Burger King.

In-store promotions include a burger that symbolizes Burger King's take on the autumn season, along with the phrase, 'The moon is big this year.'

I got takeout of the 'Pineapple Pineapple Burger Large' and the 'Chipotle Pineapple Pineapple Burger Large'.

For comparison, we also ordered the 'Pineapple Burger Small' and the 'Chipotle Pineapple Burger Small'.

Open the wrapper of the 'Pinetsukimi Burger Large' and compare it with the 'Pinetsukimi Burger Small'.

The 'Large Pineapple Tsukimi Burger' has a diameter of about 13cm, which is slightly larger than the junior-sized 'Small Pineapple Tsukimi Burger.'

The ingredients are, from the bottom, a beef patty, four slices of bacon covered in ketchup, two golden pineapple slices, and lettuce covered in mayonnaise.

I ordered two, and had one cut in half for easier eating. When I ate it, I felt that the fresh texture and sweet and sour taste of the pineapple brought out the flavor of the beef patty. Before eating, I was worried that the juiciness and sweetness of the fruit would clash with the taste of the meat, but the pineapple was more subdued than I expected, and it was a great combination with a refreshing taste that was contrary to the impression that the pineapple was full moon.

Next, I will try the 'Chipotle Pine Tsukimi Burger Large'. The composition of the ingredients is the same as the 'Pine Tsukimi Burger Large', but the ketchup on the bacon is Chipotle sauce.

At the moment you eat the chipotle sauce, it's covered in the sweet and salty taste of the pineapple and meat, so it doesn't feel very spicy, but as you continue to eat, the spicy heat builds up later. As your tongue gets used to the spiciness, you can taste the smoky stimulation of the chipotle that further accentuates the flavor of the meat, so you won't get tired of eating a big burger until the last bite, which is a nice change of taste.

Burger King's Pinetsukimi Burger is a limited-time burger available from Friday, August 30, 2024. The prices are 990 yen including tax for the 'Pinetsukimi Burger Large' and 'Chipotle Pinetsukimi Burger Large', and 540 yen including tax for the 'Pinetsukimi Burger Small' and 'Chipotle Pinetsukimi Burger Small'. Also, from the same day, the 'Pineapple Pie', which features crispy pie dough and sweet and sour diced pineapple flesh, can be ordered for 240 yen including tax.
