I’m heading to Japan soon, and while researching places to go near Gotokuji, the temple that gave the world the maneki neko (the lucky beckoning cat), I found out about a burger place called Easy.
I may have to check it out, considering their creations include the “Midsummer Burger,” which is topped with:
- Lemon zest
- Lemon marmalade
- Cream cheese
At that point, the thought that came to mind is “Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.”
They also have a pineapple mozzarella burger…
…a maple fried butter chicken sandwich…
…and the “Blow Ya Mind Burger”…
- Maple syrup
- Strawberry jam
- Cream cheese
- A hash brown
- Bacon
- Cheddar cheese
For the curious, here’s Easy’s page on Japan’s restaurant site, Tabelog, which is like a mishmash of OpenTable and Yelp.
