sponsored by squarespace these are my
top hamburger spots
in tokyo
[Music]
so i've wanted to do this video for such
a long time now you've probably seen in
my other videos i featured some
hamburger spots like black owls and
henry's burger but i just haven't had
the time to put it all together
in one video so we're doing it here
today
but like always if you want to see what
i'm doing on the daily check out my
instagram account if you guys want to
help support the channel check out my
tokyo in japan merch and if you have any
questions about japan or your japan
travels
check out my discord community that all
said let's get our meat on
number one munch's burger shack this
burger joint behind me started out as a
food truck in 2006
and in 2011 finally established this
shop if you've got the burger munchies
then this is a spot let me show you
inside
if the avengers were hamburgers then
this would be their movie
and this spot would be captain angus as
this shop mainly uses lean meat only
from high quality angus beef without
adding the fat it's not
super heavy on the stomach but the meat
juices pack a punch
and hinting of america even former
president trump has eaten here and you
know
he loves his burgers okay okay we got
the most
popular burger here the avocado cheese
burger
let's see all that loveliness right
there you got
avocado and everything it's so big let's
take a bite
i gotta take another bite of that
the bun is cooked perfectly it's a
little bit crunchy on the outside it has
a nice
sesame on top it has some crispy lettuce
it has
tomatoes it has some relish that's some
cheddar cheese it has these like really
thinly sliced avocados
what separates this place is that the
meat itself that they use
is more like a steak like really really
chunky it's not like a really
minced and so you can like really taste
like a coarseness it's more like eating
a
steak almost the sauce itself is a tangy
refreshing pin to go with like a heavy
beef and meat juices i'm loving it
you can see right there the meat itself
is like perfectly cooked i mean
perfectly good for me because i ordered
a medium at this hamburger joint you can
choose
how you want the meat prepared you can
have it rare medium or well done
and i got medium and you can see it is
pretty
red decently right in the middle but
cooked on the outside oh and it is
so so good honestly this burger is so
good
you don't need any sauce at all like all
the sauces they put in here
just as is is perfect
and since i am eating all these burgers
today i decided to go to salad try to
get a little bit something healthier for
just one of the meals at least and i do
apologize i always probably have food in
my mouth or my teeth it's just gonna be
a messy
messy day today anyway that whole set is
showing this place
let me take you to the next burger joint
number 2 hungry heaven here we are at
meguro station
just a three minute walk from the west
exit you'll find this heart stopping
hamburger shop
so this hamburger joint behind me turns
into a yakiniku spot at night
so you've got to come here during the
day but if you do make it on time
and you'll find out that their burgers
are heavenly
[Music]
alright here we go
look at this beaut so today we got the
bacon
cheese burger wow this thing is huge
this
is a nice portion burger
let me just take a bite and then tell
you all about it
[Music]
that is a phenomenal burger well i gotta
take another bite
[Music]
the first thing you notice here it has
this
special heavenly sauce in here and it's
a tomato
based sauce with like other spices and
ingredients and it gives it a
really really nice flavor and you have
the bacon right here let me just
open this up these are huge pieces
of bacon and then you have the burger
right there that's a nice burger it's
perfectly cooked
the meat is just still juicy and so
flavorful it also has some
onions tomatoes the lettuce itself is
crunchy
and it has two kinds of cheeses it has
mozzarella and cheddar cheese
in fact you're able to choose which type
of cheese you want you can go all
cheddar you can go all mozzarella or you
can go half and half which i went here
oh that is beautiful i love how the bun
itself is crispy on the outside the
cheese is a melty
melty gooey
the mommy is just popping
it almost feels like you're having
yakiniku in fact if you look up all of
the exhaust fans support the smoke
so you can definitely taste the meat
here this is like a meat
meat burger i mean what else would you
expect coming from a yucky shop right

that said let me take you to the next
burger spot
now let's move on to kinship station
number three
shake tree shake what your mama gave you
because this spot says just between
kinzhou and ryogoku station
it's a bit of a walk but you're probably
gonna want to burn those calories before
hitting up this spot
so this next burger spot got its name
from
the term shake a person's tree which
means to make someone happy apparently
and they've taken it and made it shorter
and they've called it shake tree
it makes me happy so let me show you
what's inside
[Music]
so today we're wilding out we got their
wild out burger
this is kind of like the go-to burger
you don't even have a bun you have
two patties right there so basically
you have some cheese tomato i've
actually added
an egg to it you have some onions in the
middle oh man
this is just dripping everywhere just
take a bite of this
oh see all that meat juice coming from
there
that is amazing you can just see my
plate there's a pool of meat juice below
the first thing you taste when you take
a bite is the meat obviously because
it's on
both ends they use a shoulder sirloin
and thigh meat in this it's
really coarsely cut so you can really
taste it it's probably going to be
the meatiest burger out of all the ones
i'm going to show you today
that sauce is to die for the barbecue
sauce has its own sweetness but it's
not too sweet it just keeps on dripping
look at this see all that drip
that is how much meat juice is coming i
mean i already have a pool
of meat juice in here and then still i
feel like i can like double dip my meat
back into this juice to get more flavor
and what's nice is that you can choose
all of your own ingredients and add
bacon like i said i added egg to this
one and they even have like sauces like
i actually got love my little
sour cream and i dip the sour cream in
here as well oh look at that
that is just a sour cream burger
this is mind-blowingly good all the
juice everything combined the egg
the onions the tomatoes the mayo just
everything combined is just a wonderful
experience
and also you can write your name on the
wall here and i'm gonna write paulo from
tokyo and if any of you come here

number four icon next stop is a yogi
station on the yamanote line icon is
definitely one of the most famous burger
joints in the shinjuku area

the mac and cheese
on top of that and then you have a nice
patty

there and then it has like this special
sauce which has like pickles
and mayonnaise a little bit of butter in
there relish
see the almond right there as well it's
crazy there's just all sorts of
different
nuts in here those nuts add an
interesting texture to this whole entire
burger what's really nice is too you can
see it's not like a minced meat at all
it's almost like eating like a solid
piece of meat you can see kind of like
the striations in the burger patty
that's pretty dope
i'm like you need a fork to eat this
look at that
macaroni and cheese what's nice is that
they've used
your standard cheddar cheese they have
some stubbon which is like a mozzarella
and they even use their original
g which is a butter here's a kind of
like a nice and thick and creamy texture
to it
the side of mashed potatoes right there
and it even comes in soup
oh it's quite deliverable oh and this
soup has like a bunch of
onions and very very meaty soup
like an onion soup with a lot of meat
chunks in there obviously like the
atmosphere itself is just
pretty fun you can see that there's like
a lot of kind of american like toys and
like culture in this place
