MOS Burger, otherwise known as Mountain Ocean Sun Burger, is essentially the McDonald’s of Japan, with over 1300 stores nationwide!
Ebi Shrimp Burger
One of the most iconic items at MOS Burger is the ebi shrimp burger.
Comprising a fried ebi shrimp croquette patty, a bed of shredded lettuce, creamy mayo, and a perfect steamed bun, it tastes absolutely amazing!
The bun is incredibly soft while the ebi shrimp patty is extremely crunchy and welded together nicely with the sauce for an awesome texture dynamic.
Coupled with a glass of classic melon soda (a staple of Japanese soft drink varieties), you’ve got a winner combination!
Delicious Burgers With Runny Egg
I always say that Japan knows how to cook up a delicious egg, so you’ll love the variety of burgers featuring soft runny eggs that truly make the mouth water!
For a real “Japanese-style” burger, I’d go for one of the teriyaki chicken and egg options that deliver a unique flavor you likely won’t get at Western burger joints.
One of the awesome things about MOS Burger is the cute little baskets your meal comes in, really giving it a comfy picnic vibe!
Edamame Corn Fries
If you’re a fan of Japanese edamame beans, you’ll love this special item comprising corn and edamame mixed and fried like a hash brown!
Called “edamame corn fries,” it definitely resembles a croquette or hash brown more than it does a French fry, but now’s not the time to question naming conventions!
As a lover of edamame beans and corn, I found the taste of this fried delicacy likened to a hash brown that has been packed with nutrition and contains more raw, natural, unprocessed vegetable ingredients.
