Located in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, SHOGUN BURGER is a hamburger shop that defies the common perception of average food quality in the area. The patties are made from wagyu beef shank, packed with rich flavor and just the right amount of bounce, making it easy to eat for all ages. The buns are firm, providing a substantial texture that holds up well against the juicy meat and sauces without getting soggy. This time, I tried the recommended Teriyaki Foie Gras Burger, which was absolutely amazing. It's a flavor explosion with foie gras, patty, lettuce, shiitake mushrooms, teriyaki sauce, and tartar sauce all coming together in a rich and indulgent combination. The balance of flavors is complemented by the lettuce and buns, creating a harmonious taste experience. Personally, I thought a little extra black pepper would have added another layer of flavor, but overall, it was delicious. This gourmet burger may be on the indulgent side, but it's the kind of treat that's worth it every now and then. I can't wait to try more burgers from this place.

In the dead of night at 2 am, even when the grass and trees are asleep, Kabukicho never rests. Feeling hungry, I decided to head to this restaurant that's open late at night. There's a certain forbidden thrill in having a burger in the middle of the night. The restaurant, called "Hyakumeiten," is not open 24 hours, but it stays open until 4 am. The hustle and bustle outside the restaurant were typical of Kabukicho, but inside, there were no customers, and I had the place to myself. The cute female staff, a bit different from the usual image of late-night Kabukicho, were running the place. Even in the dead of night, Kabukicho in Japan feels peaceful and safe. You buy your food ticket from a machine, and your order is automatically placed. There were options like foie gras, teriyaki, and chicken, but I settled on the most popular choice, the "Cheeseburger (1520 yen)." I added a fried egg (250 yen) on top. Of course, I also got a side of fries and a drink set (530 yen) because what's a burger without fries and a drink, right? Despite the late hour, I felt the need to order a substantial meal. The drink set included cola, ginger ale, and tea, with self-service refills. I would have liked to see more variety, like orange juice or fruit drinks, but the cola options included zero-calorie choices, showing the restaurant's attention to detail. The fries were crispy and thin, with a slightly irregular shape that added to their homemade feel. The main event, the burger, arrived semi-opened. The buns were soft and fluffy, and the rich flavor of the coarse-ground beef patty complemented them perfectly. The patty, made from Japanese beef, was of exceptional quality, justifying the price. The combination of cheese, fried egg, and meat was simply divine. The variety of burgers and toppings, like foie gras, made this place stand out. Being able to enjoy such high-quality burgers all night long was a true pleasure. This burger joint embodies the eclectic charm and diversity of Shinjuku's Kabukicho, offering a truly exceptional dining experience.

Since the pandemic has subsided, Shinjuku Kabukicho has seen a return of foreign visitors and the international atmosphere has increased. About 80% of the customers in this shop were foreigners. I tried the limited edition Gold Cheese Tsukimi Burger this time. The patty had a perfect balance, and the combination of tsukimi cheese and sauce was excellent, making it very delicious.

I visited around noon. I had my eye on this place since seeing it on Instagram before. I arrived in Shinjuku by highway bus, so I decided to visit the restaurant right away. It was a popular spot, with the inside full of customers and a line forming. The prices were a bit high as it was a ticket machine system. I ordered the avocado burger. It came with a set of fries and a drink. After about 10 minutes of waiting, it arrived. There were no knife and fork provided, so I just dug in with the burger bag. The patty, made with wagyu beef, was juicy. I ate about half before adding mustard for a change in flavor. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The pate made with shin meat is perfect for those who like chewy meat. I personally prefer chewy meat over juicy meat, so I really enjoyed it. The set comes with free refills for soft drinks. I want to come back again!

I was standing in an area that seemed a little intimidating in Kabukicho, but had a strong presence. There were many foreign customers, giving the impression that it was a popular place. I purchased a cheeseburger with bacon topping and a potato drink set. The meat was very juicy, roughly ground, and had a meaty and delicious taste. It was written in the store that if you eat it three times, it becomes addictive, and as I continued eating, it did indeed become addictive!

"SHOGUN BURGER" in Shinjuku, Kabukicho. This hamburger shop has participated in the World Burger Championship as a representative of Japan. The "Mods Onion Burger" is bursting with the tender umami of Japanese beef. The generous amount of cheese and onions is just right. Now, the limited edition "Akizuki Sukiyaki Burger" is impressive. With green onions, eggs, and double patties, it captures the taste of sukiyaki perfectly. It was fantastic. Despite its high price of around 3,000 yen, it was delicious.

Around noon, I was cycling in Shinjuku for exercise. My senior who was cycling with me suggested going to a really delicious hamburger place in Kabukicho, so I decided to go along. Surprisingly, the place was called "Shogun Burger" and it was nestled quietly among the host clubs and cabarets in Kabukicho. Seeing the katakana characters for "Shogun" reminded me of Shogun Ceanataur from Monster Hunter, haha. The interior of the shop had a pop image, with a touch panel ticket machine like those in foreign chain restaurants where you place your order. I ordered the limited-time special burger that was featured on the top screen: Teriyaki Foie Gras Burger for 3060 yen. And the best part was that drinks were all-you-can-drink. What I really liked about this place was that you could customize your burger with extra toppings without feeling awkward about it. Of course, I ordered without any vegetables except lettuce. The burger was served in 10 minutes. I had never tried a burger with foie gras before, so I was excited. The flavor of the foie gras burst out with the first bite. It was amazing. Although I couldn't really taste the teriyaki sauce, the richness of the patty made up for it. It was good in its own way. The fries were crispy on the outside and I couldn't stop eating them, finishing them quickly. In my mind, I muttered phrases like "Hidden Shadow Snake Hands! Thousand Yen Char Siu! Withholding at the Source!" as I finished my meal. Authentic burgers with high-quality patties always make me feel like I've climbed the stairs to adulthood. It was great and I definitely want to go back!

Located a 7-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, this trendy and popular hamburger joint with the shogun mark is one of the top 100 in the country. The standout feature here is definitely the meat! They use 100% Japanese beef, which gives their burgers a unique meaty flavor and a satisfying texture. I ordered the Shogun Burger this time, and the use of 100% Japanese beef did not disappoint - the richness of the meat and the hearty texture were truly exceptional!

During my first visit, I decided to check out this restaurant because one of their famous staff members had appeared on a TV show. They won the 2022 "Japan Burger Championship" and placed 6th overall in the "World Burger Championship," representing Japan. When I visited on a weekday evening, there was only one other customer, and the staff provided attentive service. I ordered the following: 1. Wagyu Cheeseburger for 1380 yen, 2. Potato and Drink Set for 480 yen, and 3. Basil Sauce for 100 yen. The payment was made upfront, and it was self-service. The food was served in about 10 minutes. The Wagyu beef in the burger did not seem very fatty, which made me wonder if there is a trend towards healthier burgers in the burger world. The Drink Bar set was a good deal, although I found that I could only drink about 1.5 cups. I enjoyed the "Haisai Sauce" (Chili Sauce) as a condiment for flavor variation.

I visited around 12:30 on a Sunday. The system is to buy a meal ticket before lining up. If you order a drink bar, you can enjoy it while waiting outside. I entered the restaurant after about an hour. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The patty, made with Japanese beef, was not as juicy as expected but rather meaty! It was perfect for my taste. It was delicious on its own, but when I tried the unique Okinawan Haisai sauce on the table, it added a spicy kick and made it even more appetizing! Although I have been hesitant to visit the Shinjuku branch due to its location, I would like to visit another branch because it was so delicious.

This is probably the best burger in the world right now. I ordered the double cheeseburger set. I had ordered from the Shibuya store through Uber Eats before and thought it was delicious, but eating it fresh at the store was on a whole other level. The meat was incredibly juicy and the rich cheese was delicious. On the other hand, the fries were not worth it, they need improvement. As you can see in the picture, they lack appeal, are greasy, and the taste is not great. But the burger makes you forget all about that. It's amazing. The atmosphere outside the store is also amazing, it really adds value. I'm impressed.

Visited around 7:00 pm after work. Already about 6 people in line. A paper menu is displayed with flashy burger photos, and the red advertised burger seems to be the popular choice, as it is prominently featured on the touch screen. I selected the avocado cheese burger and potato drink set, with the option to choose a dip for the potatoes. I opted not to get a dip this time. There is a button to exclude certain ingredients if desired. The drink is refillable if dining in! The cashier directed me to a seat. The seating area is quite small, so it seems like turnover is necessary to avoid a long wait. There are hooks for hanging bags. First, I got a drink near the entrance, with ice and the beverage in a paper cup. Water is complimentary. The drink was served promptly. I was instructed to eat the burger with the side with the tomato facing up. The fries were thin and crispy. On the table, there were ketchup, mustard, and a spicy red sauce. The buns and meat were hot. The meat had a strong presence! The white sauce was delicious! The avocado and tomato added mild flavors while maintaining a cohesive taste overall. The burger had a strong meaty flavor and was very filling! I had two drinks and was even more full! I personally wished for more assertiveness from the buns, but I have no regrets about the burger! There is an official app with a first-time discount of 290 yen and points that can be earned, so I should have downloaded it before going. Upon closer inspection of the menu, I noticed that there is a free ice cream offer for leaving a Google Maps comment, and a free dip sauce for subscribing to their YouTube channel.

・Hamburger (1,280 yen) It's been about 2 weeks since my last bar activity (?) visit. It's a weekday night, but Kabukicho is quite crowded. I visited at 19:32 on a weekday. About 80% full. More than half of the people seemed to be foreign tourists visiting Kabukicho. Burger arrived at 19:58. ◾︎ Store (11 stores nationwide) There are 4 stores in Tokyo - Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro Nishiguchi, Akihabara. The store's specialty is the large, roughly ground patty made from black wagyu beef. The meat is loosely packed and when you eat it, it starts to fall apart and can be a bit difficult to eat, but the chunky texture is distinctive. The buns that accompany the patty are homemade and quite fluffy. They are delicious. The staff at the store seemed young but they were all polite and gave off a sense of enthusiasm. Thank you for the meal.

Located right in the heart of Kabukicho without reservations from 19:20, the restaurant is not very spacious but I was able to enter relatively smoothly. You choose your items like potato and drink at the ticket machine and insert money. The photo is of a double cheeseburger. I waited about 20 minutes, and the burger that came was surprisingly voluminous! The burger itself is quite filling, so many people may not need the potato. The beef in the burger is delicious! There are sauces like mustard on the table that you can use for flavor variation. I would like to try something different next time!

I didn't have any luck with the restaurant I was aiming for that day, so I remembered about "Shogun Burger". I still had a coupon worth 3,760 yen that I reluctantly received last time and hadn't used yet! Today is the day to go! I decided to visit. The basic cheeseburger was a bit lacking, so this time I went for a double. I ordered a Double Cheeseburger for 2,380 yen, Onion Rings for 520 yen, and a Hoegaarden beer for 780 yen, totaling 3,680 yen. I had about 80 yen left unused, but it was a good deal. The double burger was much more satisfying! It was piping hot, with the cheese melting beautifully. The seasoning was simple, so adding ketchup and mustard for flavor variation was enjoyable and paired well. The patty had a high proportion of gristle, which was a downside, but the onion rings were delicious and the Hoegaarden beer was refreshing and a perfect accompaniment. The image of the sunken Shogun has been restored. Thank you for the meal.

Visited "Shogun Burger Shinjuku" and ordered the Bacon Cheese Egg Onion Burger SHOGUN Alcohol Set. Arrived around 4:40 PM with no wait. The juicy patty with a satisfying thickness paired perfectly with the crispy fried potatoes. The patty was thick and very satisfying. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely go again.

A burger restaurant in Shinjuku. I finally visited on a hot summer day hoping that the long lines would be shorter. There were two lines, one for ordering and one for those who had already ordered. The burger combo with fries and a drink is recommended. The drink is refillable at the self-service drink bar. I ordered the Cheeseburger, which was delicious with a thick patty. The buns were soft. The fries were tasty but best eaten hot. The staff was attentive and offered to refill my drink. Overall, a satisfying experience. Items ordered: - Cheeseburger ¥1380 - Potato drink set ¥480

I ordered a double cheeseburger set. The hamburger was thick and delicious. For an additional 500 yen, I got fries and access to the drink bar, which was a great deal. The service was also very good, making the dining experience enjoyable. I would definitely use this place again if I have the chance.

Just a 5-minute walk from the arcade entrance to Kabukicho in Shinjuku, you'll find Shogun Burger on a bustling street. I had always been curious about it and finally got the chance to go. After placing my order and waiting for about 5 minutes, I was seated. The interior of the restaurant was surprisingly spacious. It took about 10 minutes for my burger to be ready, but when it arrived, it was truly impressive. I ordered the Triple Cheeseburger, which came with a knife stuck in it that you had to remove before eating. The burger looked amazing and tasted even better! It felt like I was really eating high-quality meat. The fries were also delicious, and I didn't want to waste any of the dip. I definitely want to go back again!

It was super delicious! I ordered the Teriyaki Foie Gras Burger for 2580 yen. I also got a potato set with potato and iced coffee for 480 yen. I ordered basil dip sauce for 100 yen. The entrance was narrow, and there was only one touch panel, so it was a bit chaotic with people waiting behind me. I couldn't really see the menu properly, so I just placed my order. Once inside the restaurant, foreigners were guided to their seats, but us Japanese customers were left to figure out where to sit on our own. Despite only about 60% of the seats being taken, it felt hectic. Is that the usual vibe here? When my iced coffee was brought to me, there was too much ice and very little coffee. And where was the milk and syrup? And the salt for the potato? I was also needlessly asked to move to a different table. I had a lot of complaints. However!! The burger was extremely delicious! The Teriyaki Foie Gras Burger was amazing, with the foie gras not watery at all. The patty had a coarse ground meat texture, and the teriyaki sauce was not overly sweet. It wasn't like the teriyaki sauce from McDonald's or BBQ. The sauce didn't overpower the taste of the meat or foie gras. It had a hint of mayonnaise, which was nice too. The potato was just average. The basil dip may not be necessary. I probably could have just used the ketchup on the table. I thought spending over 3000 yen for a burger was expensive, but if the meat is of such good quality and delicious, then it's worth it. I don't want to go back to the Shinjuku branch, so I might try another location or use a delivery service next time. Overall, it was amazing and I loved it! ♫
