Komeda Espresso has entered the autumn chat (and we’ve bought loads of lunar humor).
On September 4, well-liked Nagoya-born cafe chain Komeda Espresso joined within the tsukimi “moon-viewing” enjoyable of the season with its basic Full Moon Burger. This 12 months, nevertheless, the chain has added ample accompaniments to the tune of seven complete seasonal treats that can go away you feeling over the moon.

Since we couldn’t presumably pattern every part without delay, we sprang for 3 of the above menu gadgets–two burgers and one candy. We’ll share our ideas for every under.
First up was the usual Full Moon Burger. We thought it might be the identical as at all times till a small observe within the promotional picture caught our eye:
▼ “The sauce is new and even tastier!”
Welp, that modified issues. Right here’s the Full Moon Burger in all of its glory.
The form and construction of the fillings appeared just like the burger prior to now, with soft-boiled egg peeking out from below the buns like a spherical moon (don’t fear, it’s simply going via a section).
The brand new sauce, which was reddish in colour, coated the burger patty and cheese properly.
In accordance with the sauce’s description, it was newly developed to focus on an ideal steadiness of average sourness from tomatoes and sweetness from onions.
Upon taking a chunk, it noticeably tasted a lot richer than the sauce prior to now. It virtually appeared like a fancier set of hamburg steak (a standard fashion of consuming floor meat in Japan) that might be paired with bread, solely the entire thing was conveniently was a hamburger. The extra we munched, the extra we felt like this 12 months’s Full Moon Burger is a very new burger. We are able to confidently say that it’s additionally probably the most scrumptious model of all of people who have shined in years previous.
Subsequent, we set our sights on the chain’s Full Moon Teriyaki Burger, new to menu this 12 months.
The burger itself didn’t look all that completely different from the usual one, solely this time, teriyaki sauce thickly coated the patty. Its style was that of a quintessential teriyaki burger, one which would go away you glad in the event you have been within the temper for that taste. The usual Full Moon Burger with its new sauce was most likely extra to our style, however each are strong picks in the event you really feel your self waning.
Lastly, we completely wanted one thing candy to cap off our meal. Since Komeda Espresso’s signature dessert is a pastry generally known as the Shiro Noir (which accurately overflowed the final time we ordered it), we felt compelled to order this autumn-geared model created from anno-imo candy potatoes.
For an additional 100 yen, we additionally obtained a dollop of the chain’s specialty ogura-an proper subsequent to the vanilla tender serve. It’s a bit laborious to see, however the tender serve was additionally coated in a white chocolate sauce. Black sesame seeds adorned the entire serving.
We anticipated that the luxuriously thick sauce flowing over the perimeters of the Danish could be candy potato-flavored and really candy.
Positive sufficient, our prediction was confirmed after taking just one chunk. The sweetness of all the completely different parts eclipsed anything to the purpose that we felt like we have been shaking with sugar. In the meantime, the black sesame seeds subtly added a special fringe of aroma to the combo. Should you’re a fan of the usual Shiro Noir and in addition like candy potatoes, you’ll positively moon over this creation.
We’re at present within the peak of moon-viewing-themed menu gadgets at chains throughout Japan proper now. Specifically, in the event you’re a self-proclaimed lunatic in search of one thing comparable however a bit completely different from the above burgers, it’s possible you’ll wish to attempt to eat all of them at McDonald’s, Mos Burger, Domino’s, or Mister Donut, to call only a few.
