Crazy-big “Bam!” Hunk of Meat Curry returns to Japan’s favorite curry rice chain, price still rising
Famed for its face-sized slices and super-thick crust, Spontini is a must-visit for pizza lovers.
Nevertheless, we dutifully dissected every element of the chain’s new takeout-exclusive “Full Mori” menu item before downing it all.
We’re probably the only ones who are crazy enough to try this Kaiji spinoff meal at home–though we don’t recommend it for anyone else.
Kanto gets lower-calorie version of The Calorie sandwich, while other parts of Japan get an even more filling, ultra-cheap meal.
Time-based pun sandwiches’ time comes to an end soon, but there’s still one last chance to experience them.
