When I go to a restaurant, I tend to be fascinated by the "signboard menu". However, if you consciously search for it, there are often "competent menus" that everyone in the know knows. It's usually hidden behind the protagonist and isn't featured much, but in reality, the joy of discovering a menu that was a masterpiece with supermarkets is immeasurable.

That's why I would like to introduce you to the talented menu " Mirumiru Cheeseburger " that gelato found at the popular cafe "Mirumiru Honpo" on Ishigaki Island!


● Mirumiru Honpo with the best location

Before I tell you about hamburgers, I would like to tell you the location of Mirumiru Honpo. The shop on a small hill in Arakawa, Ishigaki City is located in the best location where you can overlook the cobalt blue sea from the terrace seats (or rather the garden) that spread out all over the green. Even if you come alone, there is a magnificent view that makes you scream "Uwaho!"

There are table seats in the store, but I recommend eating on the bench outside when the weather is nice. Just in front of the wide sky and the blue sea, your heart and stomach will naturally open up and your meal will feel even more delicious.


● The inside of the store looks like a "roadside station"

The shop also sells chili oil and milk jam from Ishigaki Island, and coffee beans roasted using "fossil coral". It's supposed to be a cafe, but there are too many products to handle, and it looks like a little "roadside station".



By the way, the business hours are " 10: 00-until the sunset ". It's very nice to live close to nature's activities instead of being chased by the hands of the clock.


● Exquisite hamburger of rumor

The signature menu is "rich gelato," which uses freshly squeezed milk from Imori Ranch and fruits grown in the sun on Ishigaki Island. However, this time around, it's an excellent hamburger that everyone in the know knows.


There are two types of exquisite hamburgers using Ishigaki beef patties: "Mill Mill Burger" (470 yen) and "Mill Mill Cheeseburger" (520 yen). This time, the author chose the "Mill Mill Cheeseburger" recommended by the clerk. However, I still want to eat the gelato on the signboard menu, so I ordered a great set of 1,100 yen with gelato and a drink.

The Mill Mill Cheeseburger, which appeared soon, is a super-thick hamburger that seems to be 10 cm high! The thick patty, which sits between lettuce and cheese, has a dignified presence that makes you feel even fluffy. It gives a feeling of considerable eating quality.


For a moment I thought, "Is it gonna bite?" Too thick, but since the buns are soft and fluffy, there is no problem if you squeeze it a little with your hands.


When you stretch your patty with all your might ... Even though it's so sticky, the mouthfeel is soft and fluffy, and the inside is moist with plenty of gravy! And the taste of 100% beef that makes you feel the joy of tasting meat the more you chew! Coarsely chopped onions are also mixed in, and the crispy texture creates a light rhythm in the mouth.

In addition to the seasoning of ketchup and mustard, the fluffy buns and mellow cheese enhance the deliciousness of the meat. Because it is a simple combination, the deliciousness of meat is directly transmitted. This is a royal road hamburger that can be called a "model"!


● Gelato for dessert

I thoroughly enjoyed the hamburger, so I went back to the cashier counter and chose two types of gelato with my favorite flavor. This time, we chose the most popular "milk" and the savory flavor "salt brown sugar", which is a combination of Ishigaki salt and brown sugar.



When I try to eat it at once ... As expected, the signboard menu, (of course) the deliciousness is superb! The salted brown sugar is slightly salty the moment you put it in your mouth, and the brown sugar spreads gently immediately afterwards. On the other hand, the milk is rich but refreshing, and there is no milk-specific bitterness!

I don't usually like "milk flavor" so much, but I can eat as much as I want. Unlike the so-called "vanilla", it does not use eggs and is based on milk, so it has a refreshing sweetness that does not lag behind vanilla.

When you mix and eat the two flavors, the saltiness brings together the sweetness of brown sugar and milk, transforming it into a luxurious dessert in your mouth. It was really nice to welcome the arrival of early summer with the gelato of Mirumiru Honpo ...!


When you visit Ishigaki Island, the five-star Mirumiru Honpo, which is both delicious and located, please stop by even if you spend some sightseeing time. In fact, Mirumiru Honpo is also open at Ishigaki Airport, but the hamburgers and gelato that you can enjoy while gazing at the spectacular scenery are incomparably exceptional, so we definitely recommend eating at the main store.
