Fast food chain Burger King have turned to the dark side to offer restaurant-goers something different with a black-bunned burger that comes with black cheese and sauce.

The burger chain will sell two black burgers - the Kuro Pearl priced at 480 yen (£2.80) and the Kuro Diamond at (£4.00).

These both feature black cheese - made with bamboo charcoal - a black-pepper burger, onion and garlic sauce made with squid ink and the eye-catching black bun.

Proving popular in the past, the chain's customers first tucked into black burgers back in 2012, when the Premium Kuro Burger was introduced.

In 2013 the Kuro Ninja went on sale, which was identical to the Kuro, with the addition of a slice of bacon and now two new burgers, with the new black cheese, have been created.

Burger King is not the first fast food chain to darken its products. McDonald's in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong sell black bun burgers, containing a beef patty topped with onion and black pepper sauce.
