Japanese fast-food chain Lotteria is offering Valentine Ghana Lotte Ghana Chocolate Burger to commemorate Valentine’s Day.
Customers will receive a kit containing Lotte’s Ghana milk chocolate bar and burger buns.
Judging by the visuals, assembling the burger simply involves unwrapping the chocolate bar and stuffing it inside the Lotteria bun.
It is limited to three Lotteria branches in Shibuya Dogenzaka, Harajuku Takeshita-Dori East, and Ikebukuro East Exit and is only available to the first 214 customers at each store who follow the Lotteria Japan Twitter account, retweet the designated promo tweet, and show the retweet to staff.
It’s an unusual Valentine’s Day gift that may eventually be part of its regular menu, but for now, it’s only available until Feb 14 while stocks last.
