Burger King's 'Pickleball Burger', which is a sandwich of 11 pickles and 3 beef patties with rice, is a masterpiece that allows you to reaffirm the deliciousness of rice

Burger King released the Pickleball Burger on Friday, May 30, 2025, as a burger to support the popular American racquet sport

Pickleball . The Pickleball Burger is a burger made with three flame-grilled beef patties and 11 pickles, with the ingredients sandwiched between special rice patties instead of buns. I was curious about what the rice patty, beef patty, and large amount of pickles would taste like, so I tried it out to see what it tasted like.

Introducing the new 'Pickleball Burger', a large American rice burger born from a collaboration between Burger King and 'Pickleball'! Three slices of 100% open-fire grilled beef and 11 pickles are sandwiched between a special rice patty!

Arrived at Burger King.

There is a banner advertising the pickleball burger.

When I ordered the pickleball burger by itself, they also gave me a bottle of water.

This is the Pickleball Burger. Three beef patties are sandwiched between rice patties, and you can see a glimpse of green pickles. The rice patty was developed in collaboration with Kyoto rice shop '

Yadaime Gibei .'

Pickles are sandwiched between the beef patties.

There are also pickles between the beef and rice patties, for a total of 11 pickles.

When I hold it through the wrapper, it is quite hot. Hamburgers that use buns have a layer of air insulator that reduces the heat transmitted to your fingers, but rice patties have no insulation effect, and the heat of the open-fired beef patty is transmitted directly to your fingers. If you want to eat it fresh, you need to fold the wrapper carefully to make it less likely to transmit heat.

The beef patty is simply seasoned with salt and pepper, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavor of the beef. The rice patty is soaked in gravy, which is great. The saltiness is quite strong, so the sweetness of the rice is emphasized, like a salted rice ball. It feels more like a giant rice ball with ingredients than a hamburger, and the pickles play a role in giving the aftertaste a refreshing feeling, like pickled vegetables served as a garnish.

The Pickleball Burger will be available for a limited time from May 30, 2025, priced at 1,790 yen including tax.
