Burger King Japan has created the Aka Burger. Aka in Japanese means red, and this burger is RED. The bun is red, the cheese is red and you can choose to have it with either beef or fried chicken. Oh, and it comes with red hot sauce as well. Apparently they use tomato powder to create the bright red color. You may remember last year’s black burger from Japan with a black bun and black cheese dyed with squid ink.
