standard burger

I am starting to get obsessed with hamburgers...
oh well.
this restaurant is attached to a fashion brand store called "standard" something.
the shop is situated near to the new south extension of shinjuku station on the takashimaya side and features bloody expensive burger sets, that you have to order self service style (which i think is the "attraction" making it special, and more expensive for that matter...) but taking all this aside the taste is outstanding. i haven't eaten such good burgers in japan, yet. the meat was actually grilled and the burgers have random toppings like avocado, which always wins me over immediately. this set was about 1300yen (roughly 10euros).
delicious.

R Burger

Ahhh, what bliss,
i just found another uniquely japanese hamburger restaurant. it currently has two branches in roppongi and aoyama (cool citys for foreigners..). they serve hamburgers that have yeast dumplings (Hefekloesse for german friends) instead of the usual bread roll. mine was a wasabi thuna burger (meshed thunfish). tasty, not tooo tasty though ;)
the chain is very determined to make an impression, as you can see everything in the shop has the "r" of "r burger" in it, even the chairs.
now, yeast dumplings as you may wonder, or "man" as japanese call it are a common sight in tokyo. you can by an assortment of them at every convenience store. the standard one would be filled with the typical sweet bean paste (dont ask..), more fancy ones are called pizza-man and are filled with salty stuff, that remotely tastes like pizza. no big dealfor around 1 euro.

food galore

Ok. some fillers, alright. more food. favourite food.
some references to earlier posts.

first up, the mosburger set with melon soda. gosh.

second one shows ramen. noodlesoup, if you want. there are endless variations of it in tokyo. originally imported from china. so you can't call it your favourit japanese food, really. i forgot where this shop was, but the bowl surely has something.

finally an example of "real" japanese noodle,
you eat it cold. very tasty, once you have gotten over the fact that it's eaten cold.
