Kimukatsu is a chain of pork cutlet shops in Japan that specializes in pork cutlet consisting of numerous thin slices of pork stacked together, instead of the more typical single cut of pork. They have collaborated with the fast food chain Lotteria to offer pork cutlet sandwiches in the same style called the genkatsugi burger (genkatsugi roughly means "worth a try"). I have tried it and it is actually very good. It is priced a bit more than other sandwiches. ロッテリア キム勝ツ ゲンかつぎバーガー

The second phase of McDonald's American Vintage promotion focuses on the 70's and features salsa burgers (Hot and Groovy Beef) and chicken sandwiches (Hot and Groovy Chicken). I don't really associate these with the 70's, but they do look good.
