BAREBURGER, a hamburger shop that is particular about organic products. Since opening in New York (NY) in the United States in 2009, 26 stores have been opened mainly in NY. The bear burger has landed in Japan! It will open in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo on July 19th.

I (the author) who happened to be in NY at the time when I introduced the information by eating. I want to eat the authentic (?) Taste before coming to Japan! I went to Bear Burger in NY!


I visited a store in 46 STREET near NY's famous Times Square. The store has two floors and has a full-fledged bar counter. The impression is that it is more like a casual dining than a hamburger shop. When I visited around 17:30 on weekdays, the audience seats were about half full.

I was guided to the second floor seats. When I told him that it was my first visit, my sister, who had a very cute smile, explained the menu.


You can choose patties, buns, vegetables, dressings, etc. for the hamburger at the store to taste it to your liking (additional charge may be required for some items). For example, the main patties are not only beef, but also chicken, mutton, turkey, ducks, wild boar, and deer. Patties made with beans and quinoa for vegetarians. Of course everything is organic. Also, among the 4 types of buns, there is a gluten-free wrapped in collard green, and there are 14 types of vegetables, so how many combinations can be made!


But in the first place, it takes time just to read the words of the choices, and I don't know which combination is delicious ... I thought, there was a hamburger menu that was properly combined. The clerk recommends THE STANDARD, COUNTY FAIR, and HOG WILD. I was curious about bison (buffalo) and wild boar (wild boar), but I ordered THE STANDARD, which was said with a smile, "I recommend it for the first time because it is a common cheeseburger."


The hamburger, which was carried in about 10 minutes, was about the size of a Mac bun and was smaller than the big American size I had imagined. But it's tall and voluminous.


The recipe for this hamburger is buns = brioche bun, patty = beef, cheese = colby, vegetables = stout onions & dill pickles, sauce = special sauce.


This is a delicious patty. It feels like it's packed tightly, and it's more satisfying to eat than it looks. The medium roasting condition is also good. The spices are not too thick, and you can feel the taste of the meat slowly.


Colby cheese, which is not as strong as cheddar, pickles that are refreshing but have an exquisite taste (the most delicious burger I ate during my stay!), Sauce that looks like a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise, and sweetly fried. The onions that were squeezed ... Each one complements the taste of Patty well. Even those who think, "A little hamburger is a bit ...", I think it's easy to eat. It has a gentle taste that is likely to become popular in Japan.

Also, the french fries I ordered from the side menu was a type with shredded skin. Crispy & fluffy! It is said that it is fried in non-genetically modified canola oil.


By the way, the ketchup and mustard on the table were like those of SIR KENSINGTON'S, which uses healthy ingredients. As far as the label is concerned, is ketchup the original for bear burgers? It was rich but refreshing and delicious. You can see that the salt is rock salt and that we are particular about seasonings.


In addition to hamburgers, there are salads, platters of potatoes that can be shared by everyone, and onion rings, so you can enjoy it as a group. Also, you can drink beer made in a wide and wide area of the United States in a draft, and the cocktail menu is also substantial, so it seems that you can enjoy alcohol firmly. While I was eating the hamburger, I occasionally heard the sound of shaking the shaker. Before watching the musical, I gave up crying and crying ...


By the time I left the store at 6:30 pm, the store was full. There are many younger generations, but there are families and middle-aged men who enjoy hamburgers and beer alone. It's on a less crowded road than Times Square, but it was very busy.


At the Jiyugaoka store, which will open on the 19th, a Japanese-only "Kuroge Wagyu Premium Burger" will also appear. What other menus will be lined up? I'm curious about the menu offered in Japan because I ate it in NY!
