The Hamburg steak is believed to have been brought to Japan via Yokohama during the Meiji period, growing in popularity during the 1960s as a more cost-effective way to serve meat; it typically sees filler ingredients of panko, onion, and egg. Known as ハンバーグ(hanbāgu), this yōshoku dish is now an iconic dish in Japan. What’s unique about the Hamburg steaks here is that the patties are shaped by hand using a house-concocted ratio of beef, pork, and Miyazaki Wagyu beef, resulting in a rich and juicy flavour.

A must-try at Tsukimi Hamburg is their signature dish, the Tsumiki Hamburg Don ($12.80++), starring the patty topped with grated radish and a creamy egg yolk that’s specially air-flown from Japan, helping to tie the flavours of the dish together.
Additionally, these components are served with Hitomebore rice that’s imported from Tohoru, Japan. This variety of rice is known for its sticky texture and sweet flavour. Drizzle over some of the provided sauce for that added savoury oomph in your rice. Each don also comes with their Homemade Tamago Soup (U.P. $2++).
