The Seasonal Gratin Croquette Burger in Japan
Is there such a thing as crab season? If there is, that would explain the Gratin Croquette Burger in Japan. This patty is comprised of pulled crab meat and macaroni and cheese. That’s right, crabbified mac ‘n cheese is breaded, shaped, and deep-fried in a fat bath to produce this super-crispy delight that warms the customers’ tummies during the winter.
In fact, when you see Gratin Croquette Burger commercials air on Japanese TV, it’s a telltale sign that winter is upon them. The promotion ends just weeks before the first flowers start to bloom. If you’re not allergic to shellfish, this is a definite must-try burger!
