In Tokyo, there is one famous burger chain that I had been meaning to try and I finally had a chance to try it. It is called J.S. (Journal Standard) Burgers but the prices are a little high. The quality is pretty good and the size was not bad but it was not as good as a burger from back home. It was, however, good enough to satisfy my burger needs for a while though. J.S. Burgers has been on my Facebook newsfeed for a while with friends talking about going there and having good burgers. Do note that a lot of these people are Japanese and the burger chain really plays up their “American style” burgers. Overall, the price makes it prohibitive to eating them often but it isn’t so high that you couldn’t eat them once in a while. For the price and quality I would say that for Japan, it isn’t bad. They are based in the west side of Tokyo with shops from Shibuya to Ikebukuro. They even have a chain of pancake shops which are more popular, but they are yet again only in the west side of Tokyo. Living on the east side will make it hard for me to visit J.S. Burgers in the future but that is fine. I am happy to visit all of the other burger joints on the east side. If you have a chance, and live in Tokyo, it doesn’t hurt to go to J.S. Burgers, but I wouldn’t say it should be a regular destination.

So that your favourite burger : the chili cheese? 🙂
Well, since I only had 1 burger there, yes. 😛
As for all burgers, my favourite is anything with cheese on it. Oh, and mushrooms don’t hurt either. Chili… good stuff too but needs to be good chili. Who am I kidding, I love almost all burgers. 😀
A good hamburger is the one food that makes me forget, very conveniently, that I’m supposed to be semi-vegetarian. (Actually I’m just finicky.) Here on the east side we’ve got … Dru, what have we got as far as hamburgers are concerned? Best option is Freshness Burger? Mind you, there are some nice places in Ochanomizu, which isn’t TOO far.
My tummy is growling.
Honestly… I don’t know too many burger joints on the east side. Kua Aina is all over the place now. Sky Tree has one, and Marunouchi has one too. I tried one burger shop in Marunouchi and it wasn’t that good. Not terrible but not great either. I need to do a bit of research and get back to you. 😉
