Awarded accolades including "Most Influential Burger in History"
Shake Shack began as a single hot dog cart in New York's Madison Square Park. Its popularity quickly grew, leading to the opening of a permanent location within the park in 2004.
In homage to its origins, the first Japanese branch has opened amidst the ginkgo-lined avenues of Meiji Jingu Gaien. It features a beautiful landscape and an open-air terrace.
The menu boasts not only classics like burgers, hot dogs, and french fries, but also a selection of desserts. Additionally, they offer original craft beers and wines from Napa Valley.
The signature "ShackBurger" is a masterpiece, layered with a 100% all-natural Angus beef patty, fresh lettuce, tomato, and their special ShackSauce. The "Hot Dog" is equally impressive, featuring a juicy, crisp-skinned beef sausage piled high with onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pickles.
The "ShackBurger" comes in single (¥680) and double (¥980) sizes, both featuring all-natural Angus beef raised without hormones, cooked to a perfect medium.
Crinkle-cut french fries made with Yukon Gold potatoes (from ¥280). Cheddar cheese and American cheese sauce toppings are available as desired.
Gaze upon the ginkgo-lined avenue and savor a moment of bliss, watching the scenery change with the seasons. Celebrated with numerous awards, including "New York's Most Popular Restaurant" and TIME magazine's "17 Most Influential Burgers in History," these burgers promise to delight the sophisticated palate.
