Marugoto!! Kani Burger (Whole Crab Burger)
The burger people travel for: a whole big soft-shell crab, deep-fried and sandwiched with sweet chilli sauce. You eat the shell, the meat and the rich crab innards in one go, and it is more like a seafood dish than fast food. It costs about three times a regular burger and appears in limited runs, though the Asakusa Hanayashiki and Ichihara Elephant Kingdom branches keep it all year.

About Dom Dom Hamburger
Dom Dom exists because of a quarrel over one percent. The supermarket giant Daiei planned a joint venture with McDonald’s to bring hamburgers to Japan, but McDonald’s wanted a 50–50 split and Daiei’s founder, Isao Nakauchi, insisted on 51 percent and control. The deal collapsed, so Daiei built its own chain. In February 1970 it opened a burger shop outside its store in Machida, Tokyo, more than a year before McDonald’s opened in Ginza, which makes Dom Dom Japan’s first hamburger chain. The name comes from “dondon”, from the Daiei motto of selling good things “ever more cheaply”; DONDON was already trademarked, so it became DOMDOM. The mascot is an elephant called Domzō-kun.
About thirty restaurants, mostly in shopping-centre food courts around Tokyo, Chiba, Osaka and Okayama, plus one in Taipei.
