These will make up the Ocean Premium component of their Japan Premium line, which already includes Rossini burgers and truffle and porcini chicken sandwiches. There are two sandwiches. First, there's the Lobster and Caviar Burger that comes with caviar and Canadian lobster (it's not really a "burger" since there's no hamburger patty, it's just a sandwich). And then there's the Surf and Turf Burger with a hamburger patty topped with chunks of lobster and some lobster salad. They're both available for 1,280 yen (about $16 USD). There's also the Ocean Premium Salad with lobster, egg, avocado, caviar, and onion for 1,580 yen (about $20). So now if you visit Japan, you'll be able to go to Wendy's and choose from burgers with foie gras, lobster and caviar, avocado wasabi, and Iberico bacon chili (all of which hover between $13 and $16). Which might make Wendy's Japan the current king of the fast food novelty sandwich game.

Why does Japan get all the cool shit? Fuck me, I can't even find a decent videogame store here and if I do everything is really expensive.
I love lobster and I love burgers but... together? Bold move Wendy's Japan.

[QUOTE=MendozaMan;37148568]And then you have a shitload of fake, wholly unhealthy chemically treated food that could make a cat keel over and die, sold in both japan and china.[/QUOTE] I have no idea where you've ate down here. The most unhealthy food I've seen is from the convenience store. Even that is much healthier than the equivalent gas-station food of America. Half of what I eat is American and the other half Japanese so I don't know. Maybe I've just not come across any places that sell edible death.
