Matsuya's popular menu 'Uma Toma Hamburger Set Meal' has been revived, so I tried it.

Matsuya's ' Uma Toma Hamburger Set Meal ', which appears as a standard menu every summer, will be on sale again this year from Thursday, May 7th. 'Uma Toma Hamburger' is a particularly popular item among Matsuya's standard menu items, and individual

meal packs are sold at mass retailers nationwide. I was curious about what the taste of the 'Uma Toma Hamburger' was, so I tried it.

I just arrived at Matsuya...

I found a banner in front of the store that read 'Delicious Tomato Hamburger Set Meal.'

They have also put up huge posters to promote the event.

So I bought a meal ticket in the store ...

Order completed. The Uma Toma Hamburger Set Meal was free of charge with a large serving of rice until 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 14th, so I ordered a large serving.

The Tomato Hamburger Set arrived in a few minutes. Since it was a set meal, in addition to the Tomato Hamburger, rice, miso soup, and raw vegetables were included, but it was still reasonably priced at 630 yen including tax. The calorie count was 577 kcal for a single item, and 1056 kcal for the entire set meal (152 kcal extra for a large serving of rice).

This is the revived Uma Tomahamburger.

The hamburger steak is topped with a generous amount of simmered tomato sauce.

It also comes with a soft-boiled egg.

When you stick a spoon into the egg, the yolk is runny. Even before you start eating, you can imagine that this combination will go perfectly together, and you'll find yourself licking your lips in surprise.

So I decided to try the Umata Toma Hamburger. The first thing I noticed when I took a bite was the strong sourness of the tomato sauce that was generously poured around the hamburger. As it is a summer menu, the fresh sourness of the tomatoes is quite strong, and at the same time, the appetizing aroma of garlic stimulates the nose. The sauce, which has a strong tomato sourness and garlic aroma, matches perfectly with the softly baked hamburger, so there is no way it would go well with rice.

The tomato sauce is quite strong when eaten on its own, but it is also delicious when combined with a hamburger steak or rice.

The hamburger steak is not juicy, but soft and fluffy with a gentle flavor. It is very simple, but the volume and the strong tomato sauce go perfectly together.

In addition, I took a bite of the hamburger steak, tomato sauce, and soft-boiled egg. I thought the egg yolk would neutralize the sourness of the tomato sauce, but it added richness to the sauce while keeping the sourness the same, which was also good.

The rice serving is about this size compared to the iPhone 6 ...

It is served in a fairly deep bowl.

The miso soup is light and low in salt, leaving you feeling warm and relaxed after just one sip.

The ingredients in miso soup are wakame seaweed and fried tofu.

Raw vegetables are piled up in a bowl ...

Just add the dressing on the table and enjoy.

The crunchy vegetables will warm your body.

Before I knew it, I had finished eating everything.

The Uma Toma Hamburger Set is a popular Matsuya menu item, and is highly complete, with rice, miso soup, and raw vegetables all included, making it a very attractive option at just 630 yen (tax included). In addition, until 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 14th, a large serving of rice will be free, so it's also recommended for those who want to fill up on something. The hamburger is filling, but has a sour flavor that makes it easy to eat even during the summer when appetites tend to decrease, making it the perfect menu for the upcoming hot weather. The Uma Toma Hamburger Set can also be ordered as a single item or taken away, so it's perfectly fine to take it home as a side dish for dinner.
