Have you ever been impressed by a hamburger?"

With such a challenging message, "Gusto" has announced a new hamburger steak. (Its name is "Touching Hamburger Steak"). The person who teamed up with him was Mr. Toba of "sio," who is also well-known in HOUYHNHNM's.

The "Impressive Hamburger Steak" is one of the thickest ever made at Gusto, using ground pork from Kyushu. It is served with a Japanese demi-glace sauce made of white miso, honey and soy sauce, and a fried egg. The fluffy texture of the meat is filled with a truffle-scented potato cheese cream.

Of course, you could eat it by itself (¥1,319), but that's just Mr. Toba. In order to make the most of its potential, he has created the "Impressive Hamburger Steak Course" (¥1,869), focusing on Gusto's new specialties. The four-course meal, served from appetizer to dessert, is an impressive experience that can only be experienced as a course.

First, the appetizer, Shrimp Salad, accented with the acidity of fruit and the texture of nuts, stimulates the appetite. Next is the soup corn potage. The saltiness of the fried onions enhances the sweetness. Then, the main course of hamburger steak is served with Tochigi Koshihikari rice or soft French bread, and ends with a glass shortcake that is carefully balanced in terms of lightness and acidity.

Incidentally, a "children's lunch" supervised by Mr. Toba will also be available.

Six items will be served: cheese in hamburger steak with Toba's special demi-glace sauce, chicken rice, extra large fried shrimp with tartar sauce & fried potatoes, corn potage - topped with fried onions, and glass shortcake. The price is ¥1,099 with gacha coins and drink bar.

It will be available at all Gusto restaurants from Thursday, November 24 until Wednesday, January 18, 2023. This is a great opportunity to try a dish that goes well with wine.
