■ I tried the bear burger menu!

This time, I ate "El Matador" and "Supreme" from the burger menu, "French fries" and "Sweet potato fries" from the side menu, and "Vanilla shake" from the drink.

◆ El Matador 1,780 yen (excluding tax, the same applies below)

A tall burger with thick patties. "Guacamole green leaf" is laid boldly, and beef patty and "spicy pico de gallo" (salsa sauce) are placed on it. The size of the buns fits in one hand.

With a bite, the umami of beef patty spreads throughout your mouth, along with the spicy spiciness of salsa and the refreshing acidity of pickles. It's just like eating meat. The buns are soft but clogged and have a satisfying taste, and you can feel a slight sweetness even with voluminous patties and sauces.

It's a burger with a lot of volume, but it was refreshingly eaten with plenty of salsa. Isn't it perfect for hot days?

◆ Supreme 1,710 yen

The onion ring is skewered on the pick along with the burger, and it looks like this with an impact. Even the part sandwiched between the buns is even taller than the El Matador.

Ingredients include beef patty, bacon, Egmont cheese, chopped french fries, onion rings, etc. French fries are hidden in a ring of onion rings sandwiched between buns.

If the upper teeth bite through the bacon and the lower teeth bite through the thick patties, the umami of the meat is doubled. You can enjoy the luxurious taste that combines the smoky scent of bacon, moderate oil content, and the flesh of patty.

The onion rings wrapped in crispy and fragrant batter are sweet and juicy. It is well seasoned and tastes good with beer.

Supreme, which is tall and difficult to bite as it is, is recommended to be eaten separately. You can enjoy various flavors while changing the combination of ingredients.

◆ French fries (500 yen) & sweet potato fries (900 yen) * Share size

French fries are a thick stick type. The share size comes with a "special sauce" that is a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise.

When you pass through the crispy surface, it has a soft texture. With a juicy finish that feels oily, strong saltiness is a good match. When you add a special sauce, it transforms into a sweet and sour creamy taste, making it addictive.

Sweet potato fries are sweet potato fries that are rare in Japan. The color is a dark fox color, and it is processed into a mesh-like shape. The share size comes with a "buttermilk lunch" sauce.

When I drank it, it was as if I was eating rich vanilla soft. It is not too sweet and has an elegant taste with the taste of milk on the front. The texture is fluffy and it is enough to drink. The aftertaste is refreshing and surprisingly matches the thick mouth with meat and potatoes.

It's not an American big size, but it's a bear burger menu with a solid and satisfying taste. Not only the organic ingredients, but also the recipes that enhance the deliciousness of each ingredient. Bear Burger plans to increase the number of stores in Japan in the future, so the image of "American hamburgers" may change.
