I just got back from Japan and had a couple of these while I was there. Good stuff, though the chili sauce is eerily reminiscent of Chef Boyardee.

Hey! Thanks for linking to my blog up there :) (I'm the Jeff mentioned in the post.)

But yeah, the MOS Burger is quite fantastic. Like everything Japanese, it's a lot lighter than its American counterpart (chili burger). Some people may not like that, but I do - it's a chili burger you don't feel guilty after eating.

Just don't make the mistake of ordering a MOS Burger teriyaki burger - you'll regret it.

Ooooh, MOS Burger! There was a MOS Burger around the corner from where I lived when I was teaching English in Akita. I was so smitten with the Spicy Chili Dog, I never tried the Burger version. I'm salivating just thinking about the Chili Dog, though. YUM!

The Spicy Mos Burger, which included pickled jalapenos (or something similar) was my go-to burger when I lived in Osaka. Every so often I lapse into a spicy mos burger-related reverie and wake up in a puddle of drool.

Joe- I had a MOS burger when I was in Japan and thought it was a pretty tasty fast food burger. It was the only 'Americanized' food I had while I was in Asia.

OMG MOS BURGER ROCKS!

the actualy MOS burger is not my favorite though. i love their croquette burgers (fried potato croquette patty in a burger bun), or their signature rice burgers! delicious shredded beef/ chicken between two rice patties!! yummo

the teriyaki burger at mos burger is one of the most amazing thing ever. i'm also a fan of the unagi burger that has rice patties for "buns". get them to the US!
