The Umatoma hamburger steak bowl bento is a large island of hamburger steak floating in a sea of garlicky tomato sauce. A half-boiled egg is also floating next to it.
It is delivered in a large container with a big bang!
Whenever I use Matsuya's To go, I am always impressed by the amount of rice. Even a normal serving of rice is surely more than two bowls of rice. Since I didn't have a bowl on hand that could fit the volume of this plus the hamburger steak, I hurriedly decided to use a salad bowl.
I put it in a salad bowl.
It turned out to be quite a bold looking dish. I cut the hamburger steak with a knife and fork, and found it to be firm and firm. When I bit into it, the minced meat was firm and crispy, and the flavor of the meat flooded my mouth.
The minced hamburger meat is dense and crunchy with a delicious crunchy grain texture.
The tomato sauce is not only rich in garlic, but also salty, making it the perfect accompaniment to the generous portion of rice. The sauce is mellowed by cracking a half-boiled egg into the sauce.

Umatoma Cheese Hamburger Bento is a hamburger island topped with cheese in a garlic tomato sauce. It also comes with a half-boiled egg.
As I thought, it is a large volume
Since there is no bowl that can hold the amount of rice that is served with a bowl of rice, I transferred it to a salad bowl. It is also a spectacular sight.
Here's another one for the salad bowl.
I cut the hamburger with a knife, stick a fork in it, and bring it to my mouth. The dense, crispy mince is covered with rich cheese, making it richer and richer.
Cheese adds richness!
It is a perfect side dish for rice, but the cheese flavor, combined with the sourness of the tomatoes and the garlic aroma, gives it a "snack" feel that makes you want beer or wine. Of course, the volume of the dish is perfect. The cheese is even more satisfying when you dip the half-boiled egg into the yolk.
In my opinion, the umatoma hamburger steak bowl bento without cheese is more than enough for both lunch and dinner. Even if you are starving, it will fill you up and make you want to doze off on a park bench or in bed at home for a while. It is both satisfying and cost-effective.
When it comes to the Umatoma Cheese Hamburger Bento with Cheese, you can order it with the enthusiasm of "I'm going to eat a lot of food today! It is a menu item that you should order with a lot of energy. It is recommended for those who want to satisfy their hunger before the cost performance.
Incidentally, for a limited time only, a large serving of rice was free for both menus. If you are up for the challenge, by all means, go for it!
