This is a Buger!

This is a burger from Mos Burger. They guarantee that 100% of the meat comes from Japan. Another thing is that they now advertise that the cheese is coming from Hokkaido. The name Hokkaido written in Japanese is: 北海道 . I found this name intriguing.

Imagine you don't know where Hokkaido is. But knowing the Kanji could give you some hints: 北 = North / 海 = Sea / 道 = Street. It's an island on the most northern part of Japan. In Japan, if you sell something and say is from Hokkaido, it will sell good. People thinks that food from Hokkaido is good and natural.

Some time ago I had the chance to test some Raw Ham from Hokkaido. It reminded me to the Italian Parma Ham. It was pretty good... but i wouldn't live there ;) it can get quite cold up there in winter ;)
