ZOO, The Best Japanese Hamburger Steak Restaurant in Saga, Japan

Two months ago, I stayed at my parents' home for a month in Japan. On the day before I left from Japan, my brother took my parents and me to this Japanese hamburger steak restaurant, ZOO, in Saga, Japan. He told me that this restaurant makes the best hamburger steaks. Japanese hamburger steak is called hamburg in Japanese. Hamburg is a popular Salisbury steak dish in Japan.

They serve many kinds of hamburg, fried fish, Japanese curry and so on at pretty reasonable prices.

My mother and I chose Italian Cheese Hamburg Combos with Tomato Sauce because of my brother's recommendation. My father chose Fried Fish and Wafu Hamburg Combo. Wafu means Japanese style in Japanese, so Wafu Hamburg has soy sauce taste with grated Japanese radish.

Their hamburg was nice and hot, and it seemed like it's still cooking on the iron pan. As my brother told me, the combination of tomato, cheese and hamburg was very delicious. Because an extra rice was free, my mother and I chose large size of rice. Yes, I consider myself as a big eater. :) Nonetheless, I was surprised at how large the volume of rice was when it was served. My mother and I thought that their rice was incredibly super delicious, so we were able to eat all of them. :)

After eating there, I looked at the decor of the restaurant. At the entrance, many animation figures were decorated.

As my brother told me, this restaurant was very popular there. It was pretty crowded with so many young people, who seemed like students of the University of Saga, which is located near this restaurant. The restaurant was not close to where I stayed in Japan. It took about an hour from my parents home, but I'd like to go to this restaurant again when I go to Japan next time.

When I visit my families in Japan, they always treat me very specially. It's because we can only meet each other once in a long while. I also try to help my families as much as I can when I am in Japan. :) Two months ago, my brother and I made something special for my mother in Japan. :) I'll write about it someday.

I uploaded my Youtube video which I recorded that day.
