While Japanese cuisine often brings to mind sushi and sashimi, there are plenty of other staple foods that is on the time-honoured menu of every Japanese household.
RE&S’ latest concept, Tsukimi Hamburg, brings Japanese hamburg donburi with the full frills of a succulent hamburg steak atop a bowl of steaming rice and finished off with a single fresh Japanese egg yolk, all at pocket friendly prices.
The signature Tsukimi Hamburg Don ($12.80) borrows its name from the Japanese word for “moon viewing”, where the bright orange-y hue of the egg yolk sitting on a bed of grated radish resembles and depicts a full moon amongst the clouds.
Made fresh and grilled, the hamburg steak used is a clever blend of US beef, pork and Miyazaki Wagyu beef to encapsulate the optimal flavours and texture of the juicy meats.
Take your pick from four other variations of basic Hamburg Dons on the menu such as the Classic Hamburg Don ($11.80) which features ponzu oroshi (grated radish with citrus sauce) atop a hamburg steak on a bed of rice or the Wasabi Hamburg Don ($11.80) which is served with wasabi pickles for an extra kick.
For spice-lovers, the Spicy Sakura Ebi Hamburg Don ($11.80) throws in sakura ebi prawns dressed in garlic chili oil atop grated radish and a juicy patty, while the Spicy Nanban Miso Hamburg Don ($11.80) laces the hamburg steak with a green chili and miso blend.
Teishoku (Japanese set meal) options are also available, where the main dishes in the course are served on a sizzling hotplate together with pickles, salad, rice and tamago soup as a set.
For a touch of luxe, the Foie Gras Hamburg Teishoku ($19.80) comes with foie gras in a demiglace sauce while the Raclette Cheez Hamburg Steak Teishoku ($16.80) comes with a blanket of melted raclette cheese poured over your hamburg steak.
Other options include a Bacon Hamburg Steak Teishoku ($16.80) that comes with a slice of thick-cut bacon and wafu onion sauce and Kinoko Hamburg Steak Teishoku ($16.80) that serves mustard sauce and sauteed mushrooms to go with the hamburg steak and rice.
