For a straightforward taste of hamburger steak, try the Regular Burg Dish, a long-running favourite dating back to the restaurant’s early days. It comes with an original sauce with a Japanese-style base. Diners have described the hamburger steak as tender and a good match for the rice.

The Cheese Burg Dish adds a rich, specially blended cheese that pairs with the Japanese-style sauce. For something different, the Potato Salad Packet Dish has potato salad made with Hokkaido potatoes and cheese wrapped inside the hamburger steak. It contains mustard, so check when ordering if you are sensitive to heat. If you would prefer a sweet-and-sour accent to a rich sauce, consider the Pine Burg Dish, served with ripe pineapple. Other choices include the Egg Burg Dish, topped with a soft-fried egg, and the Black Demi Burg Dish, with demi-glace made from stock prepared with beef bones. There are plenty of ways to tailor the same hamburger-steak base to your tastes.

For a lighter meal that still leaves room for dessert, one diner’s example was to choose the SS-size set and soft serve at a late lunch; they found the portion manageable before dinner. It may be useful if you would like hamburger steak, miso soup and dessert together.

To drink, there is blended coffee with the aroma of a deep roast, as well as single-origin coffee with the distinctive character of beans from a particular growing region. From breakfast and lunch to a substantial dinner centred on hamburger steak, the Kawaramachi Sanjo branch has options to suit the mood.
