Japan has always had a knack for taking Western ideas and turning them on their head, churning out some weird and wonderful gems in the process. So it’s not surprising that the fast food world in Japan is an absolute goldmine of unusual creations and bizarre taste sensations. From towering burgers to chocolate sauces, we take a look at some of the most mind-boggling limited edition releases we’ve seen in Japan over recent years.

1. Caviar and Lobster Burger from Wendy’s (1,280 yen [US$12.53])

STRANGE!

Japan is a delight. It’s a bit quirky and weird, but that’a part of the charm.

"It's burgers, all the way down!"

Lost in translation.

For years Mr Kitty had a piece of octopus jerky he got from a vending machine when he was in Japan.

I’d give the bacon potato fritter and the Spam BLT a try.

Trust me, get the lobster burger. Not strange, just good.

Godzilla has to eat something when he hits Tokyo, hence the gigantic burgers.

Is the lobster burger a better deal than the Maine lobster rolls that seagulls like to steal?

Last night's thread put the value a lobster roll at (US) $21.00

A $13 Lobster and Caviar Burger from Wendy’s? Wendy’s is good, but I doubt it is worth $13...

The Natsumi Lettuce Burger appears to be a Big Mac without the bun. I've been making those for years as a salad. Really good.

A $40 pizza? I don't think so. Quatro Anniversary Pizza - crab, beef stew, foie gras roasted chicken and olive rice balls with pork.

Gross. That Curry Nann looks like, well...

13 dollars for a lobster and caviar burger sounds reasonable to me. Shoot. Just your basic Wendy’s burger is not much less than 13 dollars.

Growing up, I spend summers in Maine...lobsters were cheap...I guess it is reasonable...

Might be a gay thing?.

Hmm... Then you gotcher ballpark food. I used to love to watch the Hiroshima Toyo Carp play, grab a 1 liter can of Asahi, and chow down on Squid On A Stick.

Yum! Got tentacle?

Uh, uh huh...
