As you may already know, Japanese fruits are famous for their high quality. There are many refreshing fruits to enjoy in summer, especially the ones which are juicy and aromatic. White peaches (Prunus persica) have a creamy pinkish-white flesh that is sweeter to taste and lower in acidity than their yellow-fleshed cousins.

I'll pass. Its as unappealing to me as pineapple pizza. But to each his own, and if you like it, please enjoy.

For crying out loud.

First reaction is why?
Second thought, grilled peaches are not the strangest thing to cook at a BBQ and make a nice dessert in that respect.
I still wouldn't put them on meat itself. It can work for some fruits such as avocado or even grilled pineapple, especially as it helps digestion, but I am just not seeing it with peaches.
Just give me the grilled peaches after the meal and I would probably prefer it. I would probably only try this if it were given to me by a friend, not going to pay for it myself.

The sweetness of those peach slices on the burger?

This is a very unusual thing for Japan, mixing fruit with meat. It won't last.

Zichi is right. Fruit is an ingredient added to meat dishes in many cultures. Moroccan beef stew is delicious and contains dried peaches, so I imagine fresh ones might go well with meat too.
Goyt
Not in Japan Charlie.

I have enjoyed Moroccan beef tagine with apricots.
I will give the Peach Burger a blast if I ever get the chance.

I think the likelihood anyone here will try the peach burger is zero to none. On the same note, I've eaten Algerian merguez
