Royal Host's Hamburger Revolution
Starting April 22, 2026, Royal Host, operated by Royal Group, will unveil its revitalized
Black×Black Hamburger and introduce the all-new
Royal Host Hamburger across its 222 locations nationwide. The Black×Black Hamburger, which has been a favorite since its debut in September 2009, has undergone a significant transformation. It features a meticulous blend of premium
Japanese Black Wagyu beef and
Black Pork, known for their rich flavors and quality.
This year, marking its 18th anniversary, the Black×Black Hamburger aims to enhance its robust texture with a more pronounced coarse-ground feel, utilizing new equipment that allows for larger meat granules. The effort to optimize the meat composition promises a delightful combination of sweetness and richness, elevating the extravagant flavors of both the Japanese Black Wagyu and Black Pork. This hamburger embodies a premium experience, where the addition of a time-honored sauce complements the ingredients perfectly, showcasing a harmonious balance of flavors.
In addition to the refined Black×Black Hamburger, the
Royal Host Hamburger makes its entrance, showcasing the strong richness of beef with the tenderness, sweetness, and depth from pork. Seasoned with a touch of pepper and nutmeg, this classic hamburger is designed to pair beautifully with Royal's traditional sauce, ensuring a delightful meal. Guests can indulge in this treat alongside an array of other signature dishes at Royal Host, including Angus sirloin steak, natural shrimp fry, and cream croquettes made with red snow crab.
Royal Host has always prioritized the provision of delicious and safe food, and the introduction of these new hamburgers reaffirms its commitment to quality and service. The launch signifies not just a menu update but an ongoing dedication to offering delightful dining experiences to all customers.
