Hikone, Shiga, Japan｜Jango

Great staff, excellent food and an English menu. My wife and I have been 10-20 times between us and the quality is always high and consistent. Omi beef (local wagyu) in the burgers and souffle pancakes for dessert. The building is a little run down but it is a traditional building and this in no way detracts from the meal. Easy to find and very close to the station and the castle if you are visiting either.

No matter how delicious the rice and fish are in Japan, sometimes you just need a good burger and beer after climbing a hundred steps to the top of a castle keep. The burger I had was fresh. I sat at the bar and the grill is literally on the other side. You can watch the guy grill your patty, the fried egg, the thick slice of bacon and even the buns. The veggies we're probably bought that morning with how crisp they we're. It was probably the best burger I've had in quite some time. The only thing I will warn people about is they are not foreign friendly. Their menu is completely in Japanese and I don't think they speak a lick of English. If you can read Japanese and speak the language don't worry, otherwise be ready for a rough time ordering. I don't know if I will ever be in area again but if I am, I will definitely be stopping here again.

The best burger place in Japan! Avocado burger was delicious, and the fries also. It was my best burger so far!!! The service was quick and the prices are reasonable: sets cost about 1,200 yens.
