Are you a Big Bang fan living in Tokyo who positively can’t wait to see your five favorite singers take to the stage in less than a week? Then perhaps the following deal will help you let out a little excitement before then!
For 10 days between the period of November 9-18, The Burgers Tokyo, a burger and sandwich restaurant located at Tokyo Dome City, will be offering a special collaboration menu with K-Pop mega-group Big Bang. The limited-time menu ties in with promotions for the group’s ongoing MADE 2015-16 World Tour, which kicks off in Japan this Thursday.
Korean vocal group Big Bang is currently in the midst of their second world tour, having just recently finished up concerts in North America, Australia, and Macau. The group, which holds the special distinction of being the first foreign artist to ever headline their own six-dome Japan Dome Tour between 2013-2014, will kick off the Japan leg of their current tour on November 12 with four consecutive concerts at the 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome before moving on to other arenas in Osaka, Fukuoka, and Nagoya.
In celebration of Big Bang’s return to Japan, The Burgers Tokyo, one of many places to eat in Tokyo Dome’s surrounding Tokyo Dome City entertainment complex, will be offering a special promotional menu in celebration of the K-Pop idols. Special menu items include an original Big Bang burger set for 1,500 yen (US$12), which includes an original burger, fries, and your choice of one of five specially flavored drinks, in addition to sandwiches for 700 yen each, Big Bang lattes for 600 yen each, and regular drinks for 500 yen each. The menu items come prepared with the five-stripe MADE World Tour logo emblazoned on them and special Big Bang wrappers, drink sleeves, and paper bags as well.
Unfortunately, there’s one major drawback to the promotional event. The demand is so high that you must place your order in advance using your smartphone, which will then enter you into a lottery system to be able to claim the special menu items. Orders for the Big Bang menu can be placed only once per day.
Still, the chance to eat a burger with a tie-in to one of the hottest musical acts on the planet at the moment sounds nothing short of Fantastic (Baby)!
