A good place for grabbing a burger in Tokyo

Just like any other big city pretty much anywhere else in the world, Tokyo is home to global giants like McDonald's which offer burgers for the burger connoisseur who may be on a tight budget. To top that off Tokyo also offers its share of local fast food joints like Mos Burger which is home to burgers with a local twist like the rice bun burger. These are all nice places and all for a quick bite but if you are the type that has a bit finer taste when it comes to burgers I just found a new place in Shinjuku which may be what you are looking for ;)

The J.S. Burger in Shinjuku was the place I found online when I searched for burgers and I am glad I did. The place is right next to Shinjuku JR Station's New South exit so it is very easy to get to even though there is usually a line inside, even during non-popular hours for restaurants like 3 pm, since people seem to know about the quality of the burgers there. I had myself an avacado burger (your typical hamburger with avacado slices) and it was one of the best burgers I ever had in my life. At about 1000 yen a pop with fries on the side it is a pretty good deal and I feel I will be back for more soon.

You can check out their full menu (they have item names in English as well ;)) on their homepage - http://jsb-cafe.jp/index.html.

Shinjuku on Sunday

Last Sunday I was at Shinjuku for shopping and lunch at my favorite Turkish restaurant in Tokyo - Pamukkale (http://www.pamukkale.co.jp/). The area around the restaurant has qutie a few different stores ranging from the really expensive to casual. It turns out they close some of the streets to traffic on Sundays and last Sunday being nice and sunny the whole area was great to walk around in. It felt almost like a European town with people hanging out at cafes and narrow streets. The picture is from the warning sign on one of the streets. They got the English down almost correctly except for two words this time...

Of course for me pretty much the only place to shop in Tokyo is Akihabara but, anyway ;)
