We spill the beans on 7-Eleven Japan\u2019s latest fusion food.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Burritos<\/strong> aren\u2019t all that common in Japan, to the point that one of our Japanese-language reporters had never eaten one until last year<\/a>. Therefore, we\u2019re always intrigued whenever a common chain like 7-Eleven Japan <\/strong>announces that a new burrito product is joining the ranks, like one did on June 11. The An Butter<\/strong> Burrito<\/strong>, which is currently retailing for 302 yen (US$2.10), isn\u2019t a typical burrito filled with pinto beans or black beans, but rather with anko (sweetened red bean paste)<\/strong> and butter instead. It\u2019s solidly in the Japanese fusion-food category, similar to many of the chain\u2019s burritos of the past<\/a>.<\/p>\n We were insanely curious to try this new offering, whose main ingredient is more of a traditional Japanese dessert than a meal, so we grabbed one from our local store and brought it home. Its label stated that the high-quality tsubuan (coarse sweetened red bean paste)<\/strong> filling was sourced from the Tokachi district of Hokkaido.<\/p>\n After popping it in the microwave, we took a generous bite. While the butter didn\u2019t really have much of an aroma, it was solidly reflected in the taste (actually, we wouldn\u2019t have minded even more!). The combination of sweet anko and moderately salty butter in a springy tortilla was simply divine.<\/p>\n Despite using tsubuan, which retains some of the lumpiness of the red beans, the filling felt smooth. Rather, it mainly seemed melty and sticky, more like koshian (strained sweetened red bean paste)<\/strong>. All in all, it was quite satisfying and will be perfect for whenever the desire to fill ourselves up with something sweet strikes.<\/p>\n Well, that\u2019s a wrap on 7-Eleven\u2019s new An Butter Burrito. If you\u2019re still craving more Japanese fusion burritos, luckily there are plenty to be found, from sushi<\/a> to okonomiyaki<\/a> varieties.<\/p>\n All images \u00a9 SoraNews24<\/em> We spill the beans on 7-Eleven Japan\u2019s latest fusion food.
