◆ To Japan soon!

A hamburger chain "Carl's Jr." born in California, USA. It will open in Akihabara, Tokyo in March 2016. The staff of Carl's Jr. Japan seems to be steadily preparing to open the store after training in the United States. I can't wait for the opening of the first store!

And before that. What kind of hamburgers are offered at Carl's Jr.? I've eaten it in the US, so I'll introduce it!

◆ I tried it

Carl's Jr. is a hamburger chain with a "high quality menu" such as burgers made from 100% Angus beef. It seems that it is often talked about because of its volume and innovative advertisement development. There is also a rumor that the male approval rating is high.

I visited a store along the main road near Santa Monica. As it is equipped with a large parking lot, it is truly California. Surrounded by families on the way out, I ordered "FAMOUS STAR WITH CHEESE", which is said to be basic and popular.

One of the reasons is that the store will bring "freshly made" to the table. First of all, you will be given only a cup for drinks, so you can put your drinks on the server next to the cashier counter. It seems to be American fast food.

After a while, the burger and potatoes arrived. The burger is bigger than I expected, and it's also "holding". Then, when you open the wrapping paper, about two-thirds of the whole is wrapped in another paper so that it is easy to hold. This is nice!

The ingredients are lettuce, tomato, onion, patty, cheese, sauce and mayonnaise. Patty looks thin, but it's big enough to stick out of the buns.

When I grabbed it, the buns weren't too fluffy, the patties were firm and chewy, and they were very satisfying to eat. If the taste of the meat is even stronger and you feel satisfied when you finish eating it. It was filled with the feeling of "I ate!", Which is hard to taste with Japanese hamburger chains. I am convinced that the support rate of the men is high.

Actually, Carl's Jr. had opened a store in Japan about 20 years ago, and this time it will be a re-landing. With the rise of the topic of premium "gourmet burgers", including the expansion of Shake Shack into Japan, I am also concerned about future developments. I hope it spreads all over the country.
