Though it\u2019s yet to be definitively settled one way or another, time does march on, though, and now we find ourselves faced with a new question, one indirectly posed by <strong>7-Eleven Japan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is a sweets burger a sweets sandwich?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-736132\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/1_242fbf.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Prompting this pondering is the<strong> Rare Cheese and Almond Sweets Burger<\/strong>.

Sure, it\u2019s got a pretty pink color, but it\u2019s not some kind of cupcake-style sponge. It\u2019s <strong>brioche<\/strong>, so while you could make the argument that it\u2019s a fancy burger bun, it\u2019s still a burger bun.<\/p>\n<p>The sweet stuff is all inside, where you\u2019ll find a mixture of<strong> cream cheese, almonds, and orange peel, formed into a block that takes the place of a hamburger patty<\/strong>. 7-Eleven boasts that the Australian cream cheese it uses is rich in flavor without feeling heavy, and the almonds and orange peel should provide an enticingly complex texture, as well as a kick of tart citrus that should feel nicely refreshing as we head into the hot midsummer weather.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-736133\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/06\/2_887bbe.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Rare Cheese and Almond Sweets Burger is priced at 290 yen (US$1.85) and goes on sale<strong> June 23<\/strong> at 7-Eleven Japan branches, which is also the same day they\u2019re debuting their new <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2026\/06\/19\/7-eleven-japan-to-start-selling-vietnamese-banh-mi-sandwiches-this-summer\/\">banh mi<\/a>, in case you want a savory sandwich to go along with your sweet one.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000919.000155396.html\">PR Times<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Top image \u00a9SoraNews24<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Insert images: PR Times<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u25cf Want to hear about SoraNews24\u2019s latest articles as soon as they\u2019re published? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RocketNews24En\">Follow us on Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RocketNews24En\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does this qualify as a new addition to the convenience store\u2019s lineup of sweets sandwiches, or should it be considered something different? \u201cIs a hamburger a sandwich?\u201d is one of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7117\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catbradley.io\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
