Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Apr 19, 2016 6:58 PM UTC [Wendy’s Japan](http://wendys.co.jp/) recently started offering a “Pretzel Corn Cream Cheese Burger.” The $5.87 beef burger appears to come with onions, lettuce, tomato, baby corn and what could be a cream-cheese-based creamed corn. The pretzel bun has already been considered a [“huge hit”](http://business.time.com/2013/12/10/2013-was-a-momentous-year-for-buns/?iid=sr-link3) for Wendy’s in North America since the Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger debuted in 2013\. Back then, it was hailed as the best example of how fast food chains are “using quirky and unusual burgers to get customers to bite at a higher price point,” as [TIME previously wrote](http://business.time.com/2013/07/02/better-burger-wars-the-saga-continues/). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4299455/wendys-japan-pretzel-corn-cream-cheese-burger/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4299455/wendys-japan-pretzel-corn-cream-cheese-burger/"},"headline":"Wendy's Japan Is Selling a Burger With Baby Corn and Cream Cheese","datePublished":"2016-04-19T18:58:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:31:41.280Z","description":"In case that wasn't enough, it comes on a pretzel bun","url":"https://time.com/4299455/wendys-japan-pretzel-corn-cream-cheese-burger/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3d00161a0f64e55c/69888fb6a988ca49ef6b77a8/pretzel.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
