I eat veggie burgers sometimes, but when I'm out of Tokyo it's hard to find them. MOS Burger has a vegetarian burger, but it's not that great... 😅

@kai Yeah, I was also surprised to see a Japanese fastfood chain make this move.
This article makes it sound like the vegan burger was just introduced in April, but I saw it last year and it didn't look any different:

@kai Reminds me of that obscure commercial where Facebook was claiming that they were like a chair...
I'd like to interview the "creative" who come up with it to ask them what they were trying to achieve exactly.
