A wide burger menu that makes choosing part of the fun
One of the big attractions at RICH GARDEN is the extensive burger lineup built around their special patty. The menu ranges from Grand Slam, the burger that earned fourth place in Japan at JAPAN BURGER CHAMPIONSHIP 2024, to popular classics loaded with cheese and avocado, plus creative options with unique flavor combinations.
Pictured here is Loco Burger, a king size burger stacked with five patties and ten slices of cheddar cheese (¥4,700). The impact is huge.
You can also choose from a broad lineup of beef, chicken, and fish burgers, so it is easy to pick exactly what you are in the mood for that day.
In addition to burgers, the menu also includes sandwiches, chicken and waffles, pancakes, classic MLB stadium-style foods, weekday-only rice plates, desserts, and more.
A satisfying plate where the rich flavor of the meat takes center stage
For this visit, I ordered the Authentic Double Cheese Burger.
From the very first bite, you can feel the bold, meaty texture of the coarsely ground patty. The juiciness builds with every chew, and the deep, straightforward flavor of the beef comes through clearly.
The cheese is smooth and rich, soaking generously into the gaps between the patties. It flows over the side like a sauce and, together with the charred aroma of the meat, creates a deliciously indulgent flavor.
The buns are light and fluffy, pairing well with the patty so that you can enjoy the entire burger without it ever feeling too heavy.
The French fries on the side are crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, the kind you will want to eat alternately with each bite of the burger.
Every bite feels more satisfying than the last, turning the time you spend eating into a happy, indulgent moment.
