First visit. It had been a while since I last visited Freshness Burger, and I was surprised at how delicious it was. The fries were especially tasty (there are two types, but they are not the usual French fries, they are fried potatoes from Hokkaido). The burgers also had plenty of vegetables, making it a fast food with less guilt.

Today's lunch was at Freshness Burger Chigusa store for the first time in about 3 years. I visited aiming for the avocado burger that was recommended by Ma-nee from the comedy duo Bōru Juku on a TV show. I used a coupon to get the avocado burger potato set for 990 yen instead of 1100 yen, and paid an extra 20 yen to upgrade the drink size. While waiting at the table, the avocado burger potato set was served. The avocado burger had a good amount of volume. When I took a bite with ketchup and mustard, the avocado flavor was stronger than I expected and quite delicious. The thick-cut potatoes were also tasty and disappeared in no time. It was a delicious meal.

I spent some time with a friend over tea. I had a "Tapioca Chai Milk Tea" (420 yen) and my friend had a small Sprite (210 yen). The tapioca drink was very sweet, almost too much for me. I enjoyed the chewy texture of the tapioca pearls. It would have been better if it was a bit less sweet. The staff were serious and attentive. Thank you for the meal!

I pass by this store almost every day, but I never actually go inside. However, I recently noticed an intriguing advertisement outside. It was for a limited-time menu featuring a spicy chicken burger with Sichuan pepper, chili, and numbing spiciness. The menu also included a crispy chicken burger with cilantro and an avocado burger. I decided to try them all along with a banana milk smoothie and a matcha milk tea with tapioca pearls. The avocado burger was flavorful with thick slices of onions, but the onions were a bit overpowering. The avocado itself was delicious, but it could have been the star if the onions were toned down. The spicy chicken burger was a hit with the cilantro adding a refreshing touch and the numbing spiciness of the Sichuan pepper creating a unique sensation. The crispy chicken was crunchy and the spice lingered pleasantly in my mouth. The banana milk smoothie was rich and creamy, while the matcha milk tea was light and refreshing with the tapioca pearls adding a fun texture. Overall, Freshness Burger's new menu items were a bold and delicious choice.

Unexpectedly, for the third day in a row. This kind of momentum is possible because it's right by the nearest station exit. I pass by the front of the store every day. It's a common occurrence. In other words, there are too many intriguing menu items. I've already tried the Freshness Burger, Classic Burger, Teriyaki Burger, Onion Ring, but there are still more that catch my eye, like the Classic Avocado Burger, Classic Bacon Egg Burger, Salt Lemon Chicken Burger, Bacon Omelette Burger, Spam Burger, and so on. How many more days will I need? So I had to go again today, and despite it being a seasonal special, I couldn't ignore the "Taiwan Fair" Dongpo Pork Burger. Also, I overlooked it at first, but I thought it might be amazing, so I decided to order the Crispy Chicken Burger. First, the Dongpo Pork Burger. Plenty of lettuce, crunchy white leeks, and thick, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth pork that's like braised pork. Can we even call this Chinese cuisine at this point? As you chew, the tangy vinegar of the pickled ginger seeps out. It's very satisfying to eat. Next is the Crispy Chicken Burger. In terms of volume, this might be the strongest menu item. You really have to open your mouth wide vertically to eat it. Is there any other way to eat it? Once again, plenty of lettuce enters your mouth with a three-dimensional feel. Then sliced onions. The crispy chicken has a crispy texture on the surface, a fragrant taste, and is packed with the umami of chicken that spreads in your mouth. The topping sauce is honey mustard, adding a tangy sweetness to the burger. It's full of texture and has a powerful presence. Both are enjoyable in terms of texture. There are still many menu items that catch my eye, and I also feel like I want to experience the crispy texture of the onions on the Freshness Burger again. It looks like I'll have to struggle with my choices every time.

I came to Freshness Burger again today, seeking a hearty meal. Today's choices were the Teriyaki Burger (390 yen), Classic Burger (500 yen), and Onion Rings (270 yen). I started with the Onion Rings, which I don't usually order, but seeing other female customers enjoying them made me want to try. Freshness Burger seems to attract a lot of young women dining alone, perhaps due to their health-conscious menu. The Pumpkin Buns on offer also seem to cater to female customers. The Onion Rings were crispy and plain, with some pieces feeling undercooked. The free sauces available at the counter were ketchup and mustard, but there were also various World Spice options that I didn't notice at first. Next, I tried the Teriyaki Burger, which, despite being affordable, was not very filling. The sweet soy sauce made it taste like a "tsukune" (chicken meatball) burger, and the yellow, sweet Pumpkin Buns added a dessert-like quality. The crunchy lettuce provided a nice contrast. Finally, I had the hearty Classic Burger, which was indeed satisfyingly filling. The meat was served without sauce, allowing the ingredients' flavors to shine. Thick slices of wild onions added a rustic touch, and the large buns made it a substantial meal, more suitable for men. There are still many other options to try at Freshness Burger, similar to Mos Burger. I wonder what I'll try next.

I belong to the generation that is familiar with Mos Burger, so I wasn't very familiar with "Freshness Burger", but I see it everywhere so it must have a strong popularity. I always intended to try it since there is a store right by the nearest station. I imagined eating a hearty hamburger with thick buns. I tried their signature menu, "Freshness Burger" (420 yen). The yellow buns had a pumpkin flavor, which was unexpectedly light and slightly sweet. The chopped onion and tomato sauce had a crunchy texture that reminded me a bit of Mos Burger. Overall, it was easy to eat. I wonder which menu is the hearty one. They currently have a seasonal limited menu for the "Taiwan Fair" featuring a Dongpo Pork Burger, but I'm a bit hesitant to try it as it seems like straight-up braised pork. Hmm. In Mos Burger, the hearty hamburger wrapped in the thick onion sauce has a satisfying texture, and they have the "Spicy Mos Burger" as my ultimate favorite menu, but I can't decide on my favorite at Freshness Burger just by looking at the menu. I think I'll take my time to try them one by one...

After leaving the bank, I felt hungry so I stopped by Freshness Burger, which is located right near Senkoku Station. I ordered a hamburger with low-carb buns to watch my carb intake. It tasted just as good as a regular hamburger. However, I wish the restaurant would at least make the interior non-smoking.

【Self Note】During my vacation, I read an old book by the founder of "Freshness" on the plane and thought, "What did it taste like?" After more than a decade, I visited the restaurant. The spacious atmosphere and hot onion rings were good, but the cheeseburger had no heat at all in the patty or buns. It made me feel like there was a disconnect between the founder's vision and the actual experience.

Next, let's order a HOT coffee ☕️ (laughs)

Today's lunch was my first visit in many years... I had lunch at Freshness Burger near Senkoku Station on the Toei Mita Line. This time, I ordered the popular No.1 Classic Cheeseburger and the lunch set with French fries. The Classic Cheeseburger served with the French fries set looked delicious, different from the hamburger shops I usually go to. The Classic Cheeseburger had tasty buns, juicy and delicious meat, and flavorful tomatoes. The French fries were also delicious. It was truly a Freshness Burger experience. Thank you for the meal.

At 4:30 PM, all the restaurants had finished serving lunch, so there was nowhere to eat. Around Sengoku Station, I decided to have lunch and dinner at Freshness Burger. Surprisingly, even at this odd hour, the restaurant was almost full with families and businessmen. Maybe because it's close to the station. The back seats are for smokers. At this time, there were no set menus available, so I ordered a Classic Cheeseburger, a bottle of Oi Ocha, and Onion Rings, totaling 1,123 yen. It ended up being a bit pricey for a lunch, but I think it's worth it for freshly made and fried items. The Classic Cheeseburger (single) was delicious as always, with fresh onions and tomatoes, and perfectly melted cheese. The Onion Rings were crispy and tasty, although the portion was small. I ate on the terrace because the inside was crowded, and it was quite pleasant. However, it might not be relaxing for those who don't like the busy traffic outside. There were parents with young children and even some with strollers, so it seems like a family-friendly fast food restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

I knew this place was here, but it's my first time visiting. It's been so long since I've had Freshness Burger, I can't even remember the taste or menu. The menu here seems to stand out compared to other burger chains. It has a bit of a high-end feel to it. Also, it seems that they don't offer sets at night, only during lunchtime. So, I ordered the "Classic Cheeseburger" (580 yen) and a small blended coffee (278 yen). The price is a bit high, but it's closer to a gourmet burger and quite delicious. However, it wasn't served hot. It felt like they left it sitting for a bit after it was ready, which was disappointing. They advertise serving it fresh, so they should bring it out right away. With the hot patty and buns mixed with cold tomato and lettuce, it's even more important. By the way, about 2/3 of the space in the back of the restaurant is for smoking, and the front 1/3 is non-smoking.

Freshness Burger near Sengoku Station. It had been a while since I visited. Around 11:30, there was only one other group having lunch. I ordered the lunch special, which included an Omelette Burger, drink, and fries. While enjoying my drink, the food arrived promptly. Both the Omelette Burger and fries were piping hot. The variety of condiments available at this place always impresses me. I added some mustard to my Omelette Burger and enjoyed it thoroughly. I also like the donuts at this place, but I resisted the temptation this time. I plan to come back again soon.

On Saturday, May 28th, the weekend drink enthusiast decided to have lunch at Freshness Burger in front of Senkoku Station before going to work. The eye-catching item for the drink enthusiast was the Avocado Burger. As a fan of avocado, it was a must-try! They ordered a Pepsi NEX for their drink. When the Avocado Burger arrived, it had a quarter-pound patty topped with plenty of avocado. The taste of the beef patty mixed with avocado was good, but they preferred a stronger flavor. So, they added a little ketchup and mustard to enhance the taste and enjoyed it!

There is a hamburger shop in front of Sengoku Station. It has a more sophisticated atmosphere compared to fast food chains like McDonald's or Mos Burger. I ordered a hot dog for 350 yen, fried potatoes for 200 yen, and a small iced cafe latte for 340 yen. The hot dog was topped with a generous amount of finely chopped onions and pickles, which made it difficult to add ketchup and mustard without making a mess. The onions and pickles were so abundant that they kept falling off while eating, making it hard to taste the ketchup and mustard. Overall, I thought Mos Burger's hot dog was better in terms of taste and value. The fried potatoes were delicious, with a nice potato flavor and texture. The iced cafe latte was also good. It was a bit disappointing that despite there being few customers, I had to clean up my tray myself after eating.

I ordered a shrimp burger, fries, and a cola for lunch. I asked if I could make it a combo, but was told that the lunch combo specifies a hamburger. I thought I might have to wait a while since they emphasize homemade food, but the meal came out quickly. The shrimp burger was indeed delicious with plump shrimp. The fries and cola were nothing special. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, with more customers getting takeout. I saw someone smoking, so I sat further away, but it wasn't clear how they separated smoking and non-smoking areas.

Every day, there are several menu options available, but the lunch set that comes with a drink and fries is a good deal. I tried the green onion miso burger on one of those days. The fries were freshly fried and delicious. They were thick and had just the right amount of flavor. The burger was a bit small, but the taste was just right. You can enjoy a handmade-style burger. It's best to go on days when the more expensive burgers are on the menu, but it's random so you won't know until you get to the restaurant. The seating is table style, but the tables and chairs are small so it's not very comfortable. It would have been better if there was more space to relax.

I won a half-price coupon for a thick fried tofu burger on Twitter, so I decided to give it a try. I went in on a weekday during the long weekend, just before 1 pm. The service was rushed, with the staff handling money at the register while serving customers. I ordered the thick fried tofu and tofu burger with mentaiko mayo sauce and vegetable soup. It took about 10 minutes for the food to come out. The vegetable soup seemed a bit pricey for the portion, and I thought I could make a tastier version at home. The thick fried tofu in the burger was too big and difficult to eat. I couldn't taste the mentaiko at all, and the shiso flavor was quite strong. In the end, I had to eat the thick fried tofu with a spoon and ended up eating the burger without it. I don't think I'll be coming back again.

I think it's very appropriate to buy Freshness Burger to visit a friend who has been injured. When I sent a photo of the menu to my friend, they requested "THE GOOD Burger with Avocado (550 yen)," so I decided to buy one for myself as well. The avocado in this burger is amazing. It's so high quality that I wish Freshness would sell avocados on their own. The creamy texture that melts in your mouth is exceptional. Avocados bought at supermarkets are expensive and can be tricky in terms of quality and ripeness. The low-carb buns and soy patty give a healthy vibe. I hope they make this a regular menu item instead of just a seasonal one. Thank you for the meal!
