Brozers'

Nestled away in the Nihonbashi/Ningyocho area – where there are still hints of old downtown Tokyo – is Brozers’ burger restaurant, celebrating 10 years of business in 2010. Owner, Akio Kitaura, says that he established his shop through trial and error around the time that there was a growing perception of burgers as being fast food. Brozers’ has become a must-visit burger shop on the Tokyo gourmet burger trail. The burger to try here is the ‘Lot Burger’. The burger patties are juicy, with a 7:3 ratio of Australian minced pork to wagyu marbled beef, and combined with toppings of bacon, egg, cheese and pineapple – this is one over-the-top burger. Diners can choose from Brozers’s four sauces, starting with the shop’s own barbecue sauce. For a surprise, check out the way the burger’s crispy lettuce has been arranged; to prevent the burger from falling apart, each lettuce leaf is arranged carefully one by one with a precision akin to gift-wrapping. On April 3, 2010, Brozers opened a takeaway outlet nearby.
