The Golden Giant burger, costing 100,000 JPY or close to $1,000 went on sale in Tokyo this year to celebrate the new Imperial era, “Reiwa”. It’s filled with wagyu beef, a 1 kilo patty, foie gras, lettuce, tomato, garlic saffron sauce, cheddar and in a gold leaf bun. But is it any good? We went to the Oak Door steakhouse at the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo’s fashionable Roppongi Hills to find out.

What Japan’s $1,000 Burger Tastes Like
31 Comments
On any given day around the world approximately 16,000 children die from hunger related causes and people spend 1,000 dollars for one burger. God is not happy about this extravagant waste of money and food, not to mention being gluttonous. Please read Matthew Chapter 25:31~46 and obey it, our eternal destiny depends upon our obedience or disobedience to this scripture. 🕊
for a $1000 burger, I at least want an A5 Kobe beef (not a random A4, that's for plebs), beluga caviar, white truffle, Spanish foie gras, saffron and a good amount of gold leaf flakes!
shes like the only person on insider who actually tells who what are some downsides to it
That's like building a penthouse.
That you eat.
I guess.. the things animals go through to make foie gras and the patty .. might as well make it $1000
damn what a waste of money
OMG so over price OMG
One thousand dollars for a burger that's more than my monthly salary.
What a waste of money 🤦!
Aaaand of course an American came up with that.
When the titled mentioned Japan, I was a bit perturbed as abominations of food like that is unbecoming of the intricate nature of Japanese cuisine. Dump together Wagyu with beef patty, truffles and the obligatory foie gras, even though their individual delicate flavors will be drowned out. And squirt some saffron sauce in there…. what will it do to the taste? Who can tell, but saffron is very pricey. And the tasteless with 0 nutritional value gold leaf bun lets us push the price tag to $1000, voila!
You can tell they put way more effort on burgers in japan
Tastes like unnecessary
Even the crappiest takeaway on earth would you give you a takeaway bag
At least is a big burger 🤷🏻♂️ worth it ??

I find it baffling how professional food reviewers decide to talk with chewed food in their mouths, instead of simply chewing and swallowing first before addressing us. It's only about ten seconds wait.
Imagine dropping that burger by accident!😂
Is it me or this can of dish is stupid…?
Both of the British presenters on this channel are equally infuriatingly cringeworthy.
"It's really vibrant" top quality commentary
My grandmother is laughing at the small size of that burger
A burger should be bitten into encompassing the bun the cheese the pattie the sauce the salad…obviously you cannot with this burger…….!!
I would rather take 2 Happy Meal than this one.
I bet it doesn't even taste like a $1000.
She thought there was going to be American cheese on a $1000 burger?? LOL.
1 grand for a fancy sandwich…these guys would put even Mr. Krabs to shame.
Gerçekten çok güzel görünüyor
Yeah this looks good and all, but the gold leaf seems kind of ridiculous. Is that really adding to the flavor of the burger or is it just an easy way to make it more expensive? Seems like a waste to me.
Only celebrities could afford that
It tastes like you got bent over and ripped off…😔
I still prefer McDonald’s
That dude is not even Japanese. Send him back here.
