-Creative cheese burger-
I recently returned to my hometown Kyoto.

I met with my friend from the university for the first time in five years.
I expected that we would have a touching reunion.
However, right after we met, my friend said,
“I’ve found a burger that Shiori must try!”

Then, she took me to a hideaway café at a residential area in Kyoto by car.
Immediately after we arrived at the café, we ordered Arashiyama cheese burger(嵐山チーズバーガー) 1,680 yen, the best recommended burger of my friend.

The cheese burger set comes with potato, salad, and a drink.
Surprisingly, you can choose either an alcohol drink or a non-alcohol drink.
A staff brought me my cheese burger in 10 minutes.

What!?
When I carefully looked the burger, I didn’t find any cheese, the main ingredient, on the burger, even I ordered a cheese burger.
I was hungry and got annoyed by this. I asked the staff with a strong tone,
“I don’t see any cheese in my burger! Is the cheese burger that I ordered?”
The staff replied with a smile.
“We’re going to pour cheese on top of the burger now.”
Wow! Another staff came to me and poured melted cheese directly from a frying pan.
The spectacular performance and rich aroma of cheese stimulated my appetite!

The buns have firm texture and its sweetness increased as I bite it more.
This sweetness and umami from cheese and meat are perfectly balanced.
“My hometown is the best!”
I screamed in my mind. (laugh)
Please try this fantastic cheese burger when you visit Arashiyama(嵐山), Kyoto(京都)!
