The smartphone game "Pokemon GO" is causing a big boom. It seems that many people come to Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo every day in search of rare characters such as "Pikachu".

--But! Pikachu is not the only place you can get in the Gyoen area! At the hamburger specialty store "Hamburg Will" where you can line up, you can catch (in your stomach) a delicious monster-class exquisite hamburger steak!

◆ Line up before opening

It opens at 11:30. However, even on weekdays, customers start lining up one after another after 11 o'clock, and the store is full as soon as the store opens. Once it is full, you have to wait 40 to 50 minutes, so it is recommended that you line up before the opening to get in smoothly.


However, even if there is some waiting time, I think that the time will pass soon if I catch Pokemon (I caught several while lining up).

◆ 6 types of lunch hamburger

By the way, when they are lined up, the staff will show you the menu and take the order first.

Of course, 100% hamburger steak from Iwate prefecture's high-end brand pork "Iwachubuta"! The lunch menu lineup consists of 6 types: "plain", "coarse ground black pepper", "mozzarella cheese", "cartilage", "pancetta bacon", and "foie gras", all of which come with bread or rice and soup.

This time, I chose "mozzarella cheese" (1,200 yen), which was baked with mozzarella cheese in a plain hamburger steak. Onsen tamago is also free , so I added it.


There are 3 types of sauces to choose from. The basic "Demi-glace sauce", the rich flavor "Cream mustard sauce", and the refreshing "Yuzukosho sauce" are available. If this is your first time, you should definitely choose demiglace sauce first.

For lunch, there is an A course with salad and drink, and a B course with dessert. as you like.

◆ The hamburger is plump and juicy

After eating the set soup and salad, the leading hamburger steak is finally here! This is divine !!


A bale-shaped hamburger steak with plenty of demiglace sauce. Attached to the side is a relaxed lentil. Also, the hot spring eggs are in another cup. I'm happy to be able to put it on at my favorite timing.


When I put the knife in the middle of the bale, gravy like a divided by a water balloon inflated to Panppan came overflowing with the earpiece Tsu ~! And, plenty of mozzarella cheese than I expected from the will out To Dorori like a lava of piping hot melts!


The hamburger is a combination of various parts of Iwanaka pork, coarsely ground and finely ground. More bite Hafuhafu to loose meat fluffy, it comes out Juwajuwa and endlessly without gravy from the gap. It was so stubborn that I inadvertently popped it out of my mouth when I stretched it (really).

Moreover, this juice, umami and sweetness are very strong ! In addition to the delicious taste of pork fat, sautéed onions, ginger, and yogurt are added to make it soft and mellow.


Here is the best moment to eat with plenty of cheese. The cheese melts gently on the tongue, spreading a refreshing richness and elegant saltiness.

In addition, the demiglace sauce, which is made by carefully boiling veal bones, muscles, and vegetables, is delicious enough to replace rice with just this! It is fragrant and rich, and has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.

The combination of hamburger steak, cheese, egg and demiglace sauce is delicious, but when all four are combined, the deliciousness without enemies is completed wherever you go.


There are plenty of counter seats inside the store, and not only men but also women can be seen. The service of the staff is also generous, and the casual atmosphere that you can enter without hesitation is also good. Even if you think "hamburger steak is beef", I think it's worth a visit!
