Shake Shack, the New York-born hamburger restaurant, introduces the Chicken Caesar Burger to Japan for the first time, along with two complementary items: Caesar Parmesan Fries and Caesar Parmesan Bites. The three-item lineup launches on February 4, 2026, and continues through late March at all 18 locations nationwide. The menu embodies the "fine casual" concept that defines Shake Shack, bringing restaurant-quality taste to a casual dining experience.
Japan's First Chicken Caesar Burger
The star of the new limited menu is the Chicken Caesar Burger, featuring freshly fried chicken prepared to order. Each chicken breast is coated and fried individually after ordering, ensuring optimal freshness. The burger layers house-made Caesar sauce, shredded romaine lettuce and radicchio, and Parmesan cheese.
The Caesar sauce is prepared in-store, combining mayonnaise with yogurt, anchovies, and other ingredients to achieve a balanced blend of creaminess, richness, and acidity. Following the authentic Caesar salad tradition, the recipe specifically uses romaine lettuce for its compatibility with the sauce. The crispy, freshly fried chicken and robust Caesar sauce are balanced by the crisp texture of romaine lettuce and the subtle bitterness of radicchio, creating a harmonious flavor profile with every bite.
