A neoclassic return to the golden age of hamburgers at 58 Diner
In recent times, Japan has offered up a noteworthy list of burgers, with the newest additions being Burger King's "Kuro Burger," followed by a similar version at McDonald's (unsurprising given that one thing you could never accuse either company of is true originality). Here's something more substantial to add to the list: the Neoclassic Burger at 58 Diner, a cafe-diner with a real jukebox, not far from the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto. And, unlike the aforementioned burgers, 58 Diner's isn't a gimmick, but a good burger: a thin homemade meat patty made from lean beef and accompanied by red cabbage, fried onions and a layer of scrambled egg all enclosed in a bun.

A perpetual quest for the perfect veggie burger
The "Big Three" in veggie burger making are tofu, beans and mushrooms. Japan prides itself on tofu — and by extension beans — and mushroom varieties are a mainstay of the nation's cuisine. So it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that Japan cooks up a variety of veggie burgers.

Guide to Tokyo burgers returns with a new edition
When it comes to Tokyo food trends, four years is almost a lifetime. Back in 2010, when Yoshihide Matsubara wrote "The Burger Map," the definitive guide to burgers in the capital area, hamburgers were still generating a fair amount of buzz. Then came pancakes and then, in an unlikely 180-degree twist, came "Napolitan" spaghetti.

Bite into the journals of a Japanese burger critic
Many Japanese foodies are enamored with the hamburger, in much the same way that their American counterparts are often besotted with ramen. The number of hamburger shops in Tokyo has exploded in the last decade, but there are also signs that the fascination runs deeper: There are books, magazines and websites in Japanese devoted to eating — and understanding — the hamburger.
