Located in the calm area of Ebisu, "BLACOWS" is a gourmet burger specialty shop under the beloved Meat Yazawa group. This restaurant was selected as one of the top 100 burger restaurants on Tabelog in 2022. Known for their high-quality meat sandwiches, BLACOWS is a must-visit for burger enthusiasts.
Situated just a 5-minute walk from Ebisu Station towards Shibuya, the restaurant is easily recognizable by the neon sign in orange lighting on the right side of the gentle slope at the five-way intersection in Ebisu. The interior is a stylish and casual space with a classic vibe, adorned with tastefully arranged paintings and photos on tiled walls, creating a burger shop atmosphere.
Recently, the menu was revamped on November 18, focusing on six carefully crafted burger options. From hearty meat-filled burgers to visually appealing creations, each burger showcases the restaurant's dedication to quality ingredients. I opted for the Golden Ratio Burger priced at 2,700 yen, paired with Mixed Fry Potatoes for 300 yen and Iracola for 750 yen.
After a 13-minute wait, the dishes arrived. The burger and potato set presented warm tones and crispy textures. The mixed fry potatoes, a combination of regular and sweet potatoes, were fried to perfection, offering a delightful crunch with a savory seasoning. As for the burger, the bacon, beef patty, and yellow cheese were a sight to behold. The freshly grilled buns exuded a crispy aroma, complementing the juicy beef patty's rich flavors. The Wagyu patty, slightly coarse-ground, maintained a rare texture, enhanced by the bacon's chewiness and the cheese's decadence. The BBQ and tartar sauces subtly balanced the flavors, allowing the Wagyu's deliciousness to shine through, creating a burger that truly represents the pride of Meat Yazawa.
BLACOWS provides a casual dining experience with a touch of elegance, making it an ideal spot for a date night. The restaurant also plans to introduce course meals paired with natural wines. Though slightly on the pricier side, the burgers are packed with flavor, embodying the essence of Meat Yazawa's famous hamburgers. Don't miss the chance to savor these exquisite Wagyu beef burgers at BLACOWS.
