We've been wanting to try their hamburg teishoku for a while but their previous locations have always been somewhat inaccessible. Until now.

Tsukimi Hamburg, hamburg teishoku

Their teishoku comes with a salad, egg drop soup and tsukemono. The nama tamago was an add on.

Tsukimi Hamburg, raclette cheese hamburg

Tried the beef hamburg with raclette cheese. Apparently it's wagyu. Not beefy but pretty moist. Not particularly flavourful as well. Also not enough raclette cheese for the lack of beefiness.

Tsukimi Hamburg, truffle omu pork hamburg

This one was truffle omu pork hamburg. Nicely done but I didn't like the hint of ginger in the meat.

Tsukimi Hamburg, foie gras

One could top up the teishoku with sides. Here's a sad looking foie gras.

Tsukimi Hamburg, salad

Sarada is sarada. Ponzu dressing.

Tsukimi Hamburg, soup

If anyone had been wondering where they get the egg whites for their egg drop soup......

Tsukimi Hamburg, egg yolk

......it's saved from their nama tamago. It doesn't come with egg white which is odd.

Tsukimi Hamburg, egg yolk on rice

Because there is no egg white, the yolk doesn't have enough volume to coat the rice. So basically one would be just paying for the yolk. Speaking of the Hitomebori rice from the Miyagi prefecture, it's dry-ish and a little lumpy. Not impressive in the least.

Tsukimi Hamburg, nama tamago gohan

Suju and Keria has more or less set the benchmark so any lower was just disappointment. Think about that for a moment - a tamago kake gohan depended on just the quality of the ingredient, which is egg and rice, and little in the way of skills of preparation other than the cooking of rice. It's not a very high bar to meet.
