Nestled away in Ningyocho is Brozers’, a burger joint that celebrated 15 years of business in 2015. The owner, Akio Kitaura, says he established his shop through trial and error around the time when most Tokyoites still didn't appreciate the gourmet qualities of America's most famous culinary export. Now, Brozers’ has become a must-visit spot on the Tokyo speciality burger trail.
Make sure to try the Lot Burger, served with juicy patties – a 7:3 ratio of Australian minced pork to wagyu marbled beef – and combined with toppings of bacon, egg, cheese and pineapple for a seriously over-the-top sandwich. Diners can also choose from four special sauces, starting with the shop’s own barbecue sauce. For a surprise, check out the way the burger’s crispy lettuce has been arranged: to prevent the creation from falling apart, each lettuce leaf is arranged carefully one by one with a precision akin to gift-wrapping.
