Ramen with your hamburger? Yep, if you're eating at Burger King Japan. The burger chain is one of several being impacted by a potato shortage in Japan, according to a SORANews24 report.

Beginning today, Burger King Japan will offer a combo of a hamburger, drink and a bag of Baby Star Dodekai Ramen, a crunchy snack that's popular in Japan. They're not replacing fries, but it's an option if guests want it. The brand is dubbing the combo the Daitai Potato, or "Sorta Potato" Set.

Those that choose ramen over French fries will receive a sticker that says "I Supported the King."
