The hamburger chain "UMAMI BURGER" from Los Angeles, USA. I tried "Bacon and Egg Burger" which can be enjoyed only at "Ebisu Mitsukoshi Store" in Ebisu, Tokyo and on sale in advance. Melting egg yolk, smoky bacon, and thick beef patty are sandwiched between fluffy bamboo charcoal buns.


"Umami burger" is a name derived from the Japanese word "umami", and is a recipe that the founder of the United States sang to maximize umami. There are several stores in Japan, but the "Bacon and Egg Burger" limited to the Ebisu Mitsukoshi store is a limited and pre-sale menu commemorating the 25th anniversary of the department store "Ebisu Mitsukoshi" where the store is located.


The price is 1,280 yen for a single item (excluding tax, the same applies below), and 1,480 yen for a set. I chose the set this time. With potatoes, you can choose one of your favorite drinks.



A large volume hamburger with beef patty, eggs, cheese and bacon sandwiched in buns with bamboo charcoal, which goes well with homemade ketchup, miso mustard and aioli.


The buns are colored black, but they are not smoky, and while they are soft enough to be easily torn off when pinched by hand, you can enjoy a crispy texture when you raise your teeth. It's a mouthfeel that is a bit reminiscent of muffins.


The egg is full of white and the yolk is mellow. The egg itself seems to be a rich sauce. Bacon is a large slice that is folded and sandwiched, and when unfolded it is quite wide and long. It's smoky and delicious, and the taste is quite satisfying with just this and the eggs.



However, it also contains plenty of melted cheese, which also has a thick texture and a taste different from bacon spreads in the mouth.


Patty, the protagonist, is packed with meat and is a little firm. When you bite it, the aroma of beef is strong, and it has an overwhelming personality that overwhelms other ingredients.


Homemade ketchup can be freely added to the bowl later. It is recommended that you first grab the beef as it is and enjoy the beef flavor, then add plenty of ketchup to make it sweet and sour, and enjoy the junk taste.
