We have eaten the 'US King Burger', a massive 690 g meat bun in a stack of 6 sheets of patties, at FATBURGER's first store in Japan

The hamburger chain “

FAT BURGER ” in Los Angeles, USA, for the first time entered Japan in April 2018, and opened its first Japanese store in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. The FATBURGER's patties are made of Aussie beef lean with an emphasis on the natural umami of the meat, and it is said that ' US King Burger ', which is a stack of up to six sheets of 115g patties per sheet, is offered as a challenge menu about. As I was wondering what kind of a burger, I actually visited the first Japanese store and tried to challenge.

The FATBURGER Shibuya store is located on the 7th floor of MAGNET by SHIBUYA 109 in front of JR Shibuya Station. The address is ' Jinnan 1-chome, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 23-10 MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 7F '


Go up to the 7th floor of MAGNET by SHIBUYA 109 and discover the FATBURGER Shibuya store in front of the escalator. In addition, it is said that 'FAT' of FATBURGER does not mean 'obese' because the meaning of 'Fresh', 'Authentic', 'Tasty' is included.

A bar counter is also set up in the store, and it seems that alcohol is also provided.

Also, on the corkboard that was affixed to the wall, a photograph of a brave man who finished eating 'US King Burger' was displayed.

In the menu table next to the cash register, 'US King Burger' was appealed as a challenge menu.

In FATBURGER, it took time to start baking patties after receiving orders.

About 7-8 minutes after ordering, US King Burger (tax-included 2764 yen) comes up.

The impact of the six-tiered thick patties, the guests next door were also watching over the US King Burger.

Its height is approximately 14 cm, and its size can be clearly understood by comparing it with the

iPhone XR with a long side of 150.9 mm.

The volume is so large that it can no longer be wrapped in wrapping paper, and when seen from the side, it wraps the back half and is in a state of last. It is suitable for the name 'FATBURGER' and feels considerable calories and cravings.

Lettuce and tomato are sandwiched with mayonnaise between the top of the buns and patties.

The total weight of the patties is around 690g, and the US King Burger is a heavyweight class. If you hold it with one hand, it seems that the burger will collapse without supporting its own weight.

I decided to eat it with the wooden fork and knife I came with. Gently turning under the tomato, pickles and onions,

relish and mustard were sandwiched.

On the other hand, nothing is caught between patties and patties, and the burger itself is a very simple configuration.

I thought of eating right away, but this size is of course not likely to enter the mouth, so I cut it with a knife and eat it. I was going to put a knife from patties because it was likely to collapse when I cut it from the top of the buns ...

The meat of the patties is quite rough, and it quickly crumbles.

Buns also absorb the moisture of vegetables and patties, so they can not be cut well with wooden forks and knives.

We put crumbled patties and pickles on the buns, made them bite-sized and ate. It was a fragile patie, but the beef's massive and powerful umami taste is accompanied by the sharp stimulation of black pepper. Before I ate it, I thought, 'If I eat this amount of meat, I would get bored?' Actually, I was able to eat it without getting tired because of the mild sourness of pickles and the sweetness of onion.

It is an ant that eats tomatoes and lettuce in between and eats with the included ketchup and mustard, but because it was a pasty where the umami taste of meat can be felt solidly, it is the last time without much reliance on seasoning I enjoyed it well without getting tired. The volume is a level that two men eat and it is not enough, and it is necessary to have a certain level of preparation in order to complete it all by one person.

The side menu I ordered with the US King Burger is the following Buffalo Chicken Wing (1 pack incl. 756 yen). There are six sauce-sized chicken wings in a pack. You can choose from 4 types of sauce that can be entangled in the wings: SWEET (sweet), MILD (spicy), HOT (spiky), DEATH (severe), so this time DEATH (left) and MILD (left) Right) I ordered one pack at a time. At the moment of arrival, the scent rising from DEATH's Buffalo Chicken Wing stimulates the nose and eyes.

First of all, when you try to eat MILD, the texture of the crispy skin and moist meat is enjoyable, and the sweet and sour spreads to your mouth because it is seasoned like Chinese-style sweet and sour vinegar. After that, the hotness of the pepper stimulates the inside of the mouth. However, it is not too hot, and hotness is an accent in Chinese-style seasoning. The taste is quite backward-looking, and it may be a bite-sized chicken wing, and if you notice it will continue to eat the next wing. However, since the source is tightly entangled, the hands are quite dirty, so be careful.

This time, when I tried eating DEATH, which has a strong pungent smell of chili peppers, the moment I scratched the wing, it was more painful than painful. All the flavors of Chinese-style sweet and vinegar that were felt in MILD are hidden behind the stimulation of pepper, and people who are not good at hardships can not afford to eat even one. Not only the inside of the mouth, but also the part where the sauce around the mouth was attached was also humming for a while. However, some people who are extremely hot like that 'it's very hot, but it's so hot and sour and sour, it's addictive and it's quite an ant.'

The FATBURGER Shibuya store is open all year round and is open from 11:00 to 23:00.
