【Kanagawa/Ishikawacho】Popular Burger Spot: CENTRAL BURGER SHOP

CENTRAL BURGER SHOP is a charming American-style burger joint located just a short walk from JR Ishikawacho Station. The shop's signature dish is its burgers made with "smash patties," a cooking method still relatively rare in Japan. This technique involves pressing a ball of beef firmly onto a hot griddle, which locks in the meat's flavor and creates a crispy, aromatic texture. By stacking two of these patties, the burgers deliver a meaty satisfaction while avoiding the messiness often associated with gourmet burgers, making them especially popular among female customers. Top menu items include the "Smash Cheeseburger," which highlights the appeal of the smash patty, and the "Tex Cheese," featuring rich BBQ sauce and jalapeños. The homemade buns, made with natural yeast, are soft and fluffy, providing a perfect contrast to the crispy patties. The interior boasts a colorful and playful American-style decor, creating a stylish atmosphere. The shop also offers a variety of desserts, such as authentic "Carrot Cake" and shakes crafted by an in-house pastry chef. Recognized for its quality, the shop was selected as one of the Top 100 Burger Restaurants in 2024.✨ 📍Location: 2-85-5 Ishikawacho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 231-0868 🕰️Business Hours: Mon, Tue, Thu–Sun 11:00 AM–10:00 PM (Last order for food: 9:00 PM, drinks: 9:30 PM)
