Sasebo Burger in Tokyo

Love Japanese food but sometimes, a taste of home is what the doctor ordered. Sasebo Burgers are a special kind of burger since 1950 when an American GI taught some Japanese how to make a real American burger. Typically, a hamburger conjures up an image of a hamburger steak with gravy, in Japan.

A Sasebo burger has the following characteristics. There are several burger joints around Tokyo that serve a burger in this style:

1. Fresh/handmade
2. Use only Japanese beef
3. Soft bun
4. Special mayonnaise with 9 spices
5. High quality egg for the fried egg
6. Cheddar cheese
7. 5 mm cut thick bacon from Kyushu, Japan
8. Lots of veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion)
9. Instructions for eating include pressing the burger down before eating to ensure all the sauce/juices are mixed together and throughout the burger
