Japan: Freshness Burger (Tokyo)

Hamburgler has some more tokyo burgers for you:

So heres the thing (and yes, I have only had three burgers in Tokyo).  It would seem that what Americans consider a hamburger patty wouldn't be considered a hamburger patty here (and its not fair too say because I have only eaten fast food and chain restaurant burgers in Tokyo), but the trend is that the burger patty is more like a sausage patty in look, texture, and taste, sans the sausage seasoning. So its all about how you dress it up. Freshness burger dresses it up well, and 380 yen (probably around 4.10 USD) it does the job.

Still sticking with Mos Burger though.

Japan: First Kitchen (Tokyo)

The Japanese Hamburgler tour continues:

This place is great for their selection of french fries and right next too Ueno Station. BBQ, Basil, and a mess of other fries I don't know.  The burger is one of those sausage type patty's, so add the bacon and the egg and its just like a breakfast sando, which it was at 11:00 am (and yes thats one day in the future because I time travel).

I think it was all about 750 yen, but worth it for the air conditioning (excuse for buying anything here).

Now where can I get me some "Flavor Potato"

Japan: Mos Burger (Tokyo)

Hamburgler writes in with the first stop in his Japan adventure:

Hey hamburger, Come-here-che-wa.  You could use a break from stuffing your face with delicious cream-filled spongy cake treats and get some food.  

At first you think you ordered wrong (or pointed at the wrong thing) cause the Mos Burger looks like a Bon Jovi sized sausage patty from McDonalds, but makes up for it with interestingly folded lettuce, gobs of mayo, and a teriyaki style sauce.  The french fries are great, and the cola comes with mini-cubes for maximum ice exposure. It's 710 yen (thats about 8.00 USD right now).

You can even get in your private air-conditioned smoking room, eat beef, and drink at the same time. I'm free again.
