| Egg Burger and Iced Lemon Tea |
For those living in Japan, like me, you will notice how heavily advertised this ¥200 エッグチーズバーガー(Egg Cheese Burger) was being promoted. I see its ads on subways, subway station, TV CMs, etc. I gave into the advertisement and decided to try it. At first, because of my poor Japanese skills, I thought it was just an ordinary
Egg Cheese Sausage McMuffin in burger form... oh how wrong I was. Instead, it is simply a hamburger (including the ketchup and pickles) with a melted slice of cheese and egg.

impressions:
- this is hot! (temperature-wise)
- lots of ketchup... too much ketchup
- none other than a hamburger
- cheese taste is hardly noticeable
- egg is "too" well cooked

Like most Japanese places... no... like ALL food places in Tokyo, the burger was served HOT... I nearly burned my fingers when I first picked it up. I need to start getting use to food being served here.
That aside. I honestly didn't find anything very special with this Egg Cheese Burger. I could hardly taste the Cheese. Egg didn't enhance the taste of this burger (besides added nutrition value). It was a well made burger, but I don't see (besides the added nutrition value) why I would need to spend an extra ¥100 to add an egg into the burger.
Suggestion! If their egg portion was less "well cooked"and a bit runny, the taste might be a lot better. Or maybe they can replace the ketchup with an egg mayonnaise, it would make more sense to be added. (just adding my two cents!)
