Gui’s Burger by Humans of Wagyu ligger Ashiya, mellan de två japanska städerna Kobe och Osaka. Restaurangen specialiserar sig uteslutande på wagyu-kött, och detta märks verkligen på den stilrent inredda lokalen med öppet kök. Fokus ligger inte heller bara på köttets smak och textur, utan varje burgare på menyn innehåller wagyu-kött från en specifik gård som har godkänt just sin burgare. Menyn är extremt fokuserad med tre standardburgare och en månadsburgare. Vi beställde en Kirishima Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger med 150 gram wagyu-kött, wagyu-bacon och husets sås. Den serverades med pommes frites och kostade 2450 JPY (140 kronor).

Burgaren serverades på ett stadigt porslinsfat och glänste verkligen av det marmorerade köttet. Brödet var ultrafluffigt, men omfamnade ändå burgaren med karaktär och höll ihop allt på ett tillfredsställande sätt. Det medium rare-stekta köttet var kort sagt fenomenalt, med en djup smak och en hög fetthalt som gjorde att den smälte i munnen. Att det dessutom hade saltats och pepprats rejält gjorde oss otroligt glada, och smakerna jobbade på högvarv redan från första tuggan. Detta intensifierades ytterligare av deras egentorkade och -rökta wagyu-bacon, som tillförde ytterligare en nivå av sälta och en lätt rökighet som förde tankarna till den godaste pastramin du kan tänka dig. Smakbilden kompletterades av deras majonnäs, som bland annat innehöll wagyu-fett för att ge en sista kött- och umamismäll mot smaklökarna. Vi beställde till och med extra wagyu-bacon som en dekadent dessert för att fullända måltiden.

Vi blev minst sagt tagna av den otroligt höga kvaliteten och passionen för kött. Gui’s Burger serverar inte bara Japans bästa burgare – utan en av de bästa burgarna vi någonsin har ätit under våra många resor.

Gui’s Burger by Humans of Wagyu is located in Ashiya, between the two Japanese cities of Kobe and Osaka. This restaurant specialises exclusively in Wagyu beef, and this is very much reflected in the stylishly decorated interior with an open kitchen. The focus is not only on the taste and texture of the meat, as each burger on the menu also contains Wagyu beef from a specific farm that has approved its burger. The menu is extremely focused with three standard burgers and one monthly burger. We ordered a Kirishima Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger with 150 grams of Wagyu beef, Wagyu bacon and house sauce. It was served with fries and cost 2450 JPY (15.5 USD).

Our burger arrived on a sturdy porcelain plate and the deeply marbled beef really made it shine. The bun was ultra-fluffy, but still gave the burger character and held everything together in a satisfying way. The medium-rare-cooked Wagyu was simply phenomenal, with a intense beefiness and a mouth-meltingly high fat content. The fact that it was also salted and peppered generously made us extremely happy, and the flavours were super intense from the first bite. This was enhance further by their own-dried and -smoked Wagyu bacon, which added another level of saltiness and a light smokiness that reminded us of the best pastrami you can imagine. The flavour profile was completed by their mayonnaise, which, among other things, contained Wagyu fat to give the taste buds a final hit of meat and umami. We even ordered extra Wagyu bacon as a decadent dessert to complete our meal.

We were extremely impressed by the incredibly high quality and passion for meat we encountered here. Gui’s Burger don’t just serve Japan’s best burger – this is one of the best burgers we have ever eaten during our many travels.

🍔 Review № 1381

Black Bear Burger is one of the veterans of the modern burger wave in England, and we have tried their burgers several times since our first review in 2017. Over the years, Black Bear Burger has received more and more attention and hype, both domestically and internationally, and today they are one of the most well-known burger restaurants in all of England. They have locations at nearly 10 places around London, and we visited their restaurant inside the Market Halls Victoria food hall and ordered their Double Miso Bacon Burger – the same burger that won them the National Burger of the Year 2025 award. The burger contained double patties, double cheese, smoked bacon and their miso butter mayo, and it cost 15.8 GBP (21 USD).

The burger looked exactly as we remembered it, with pre-formed patties and a pale bun covered in a generous layer of sesame seeds. The bun was soft and fluffy, but just like on our previous visits, we felt that the crust-like amount of sesame seeds took over both in terms of flavour and texture. The meat was of high quality as always and had a nice and potent dry-aged character that they are known for. The meat could have been juicier though, as it felt a bit too compact this time. The bacon was super tasty and crispy, just the way we like it, and the onion also contributed a nice texture. Their miso butter mayo was very flavourful with its buttery, salty, and umami-rich taste, but together with the bacon and the beef, the overall flavour profile was a bit too salty. We would have liked to see some kind of freshness to break up the saltiness for a more complete experience.

We are very happy that a veteran like Black Bear Burger continues to deliver high-quality burgers year after year, and they are still a safe bet when you are craving a really good burger in London.
