Wendy’s Japan goes big with new limited-edition Mega Wendy’s, but is it worth the calories?

Wendy's Japan has introduced a new limited-edition burger called MEGA Wendy's, and it's a massive burger that's attracting attention. The burger boasts seven patties and four slices of cheese, totaling 2,614 kilocalories. The oversized burger has taken the culinary world by storm, and our reporter, Kouhey, couldn't resist trying it.

Kouhey visited the Iidabashi Ramla store in Tokyo to try the MEGA Wendy's. Upon seeing the burger on the menu, he was stunned by its size and price - 3,670 yen (US$23.36) for the burger alone. He decided to order it as part of a drink set, making the total cost 3,910 yen.

The MEGA Wendy's is approximately 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) tall and weighs 900 grams (1.98 pounds) - a significant contrast to the three-patty Wendy's Burger USA Triple in the U.S., known as "Dave's Single." Kouhey felt apprehensive about tackling this heavyweight burger, but he decided to give it a go.

Upon receiving the burger, Kouhey was struck by its sheer size and weight. He carefully unwrapped the paper, revealing a wall of meat. Seven patties were stacked atop one another, pushing the top bun upward. Beneath the patties, onions, ketchup, and lettuce formed a familiar burger shape.

Despite the impressive components, Kouhey was surprised by the small size of the buns. The top and bottom buns appeared insignificant compared to the mountain of meat in between. The packaging itself was enormous, emphasizing the burger's size.

Kouhey took a bite of the MEGA Wendy's, and the experience was unlike any other burger he had ever tried. The buns were dwarfed by the seven patties, and the mountain of meat was a formidable challenge to consume.
