The closest entrance/exit to the Oedo Line might be the best option. The main street can be a bit confusing, but it's not far from Ueno. It's a good place to stop by for a bite to eat. Remember it's right near Kitchen DIVE for the best experience.

Today, I aimed for a light lunch with bread and headed to Burger King near Ueno Station. Here, you purchase through a machine next to the counter. I was confused about the system for a while, and in the meantime, people who arrived later than me got ahead of me. Lately, it's sad to see more and more stores relying on machines rather than hiring service-oriented staff. I ordered the BBQ Whopper Jr set for 650 yen (tax included), with medium fries and a medium Coca-Cola. I didn't plan on buying this, but I couldn't find the menu, so I had no choice. Wow, it has a smoky flavor and looks trendy. Hmm, I'm not sure if it's a taste I'm used to. Maybe because people of my generation grew up with the flavors of McDonald's and Mos Burger, so we don't feel familiar with other tastes. It might be appealing to the younger generation. The "French fries" don't taste exactly like French fries to me. I want to eat a regular burger, but the menu display is confusing, and I'm not confident in making a purchase. Thank you for the meal.

After a long time, I had a Napolitan lunch at the royal castle and on my way back to the company, I discovered a new place. It's located near the north exit of JR Okachimachi Station, along Kasuga Street. As soon as I entered, I noticed that the glass-walled interior was very bright, but the place was visible from the outside. I went to the counter first to place my order. Surprisingly, they asked about the payment method quite early. If you're paying by credit card or electronic money, you can use the touch panel on the right side of the counter. For cash payment, you need to order verbally to the staff. I paid in cash and ordered the Avocado Wrap Jr. set for 650 yen. I also got a cup of oolong tea. After paying, I received a receipt with a number printed on it and waited for my order to be called. The avocado wrap was cold, but tasty. The potato was hot and had a nice texture. It was delicious. I didn't ask for ketchup, but it was available. Overall, the portion size was just right. The place was constantly busy, but not full, with many customers opting for takeout. The staff and customers seemed a bit inexperienced, but I think they will improve with time. The visibility from the outside made me a bit uncomfortable, but I think I'll get used to it. I plan to visit this place occasionally in the future.

I've been craving Whopper cheese recently, and it's probably been over 10 years since I last went to a store other than the racetrack. It's still delicious, but the excitement I felt when I first tried it at Nakayama Racecourse is no longer there. It's only natural, I guess.

The salt on the fries was too much. I don't have the right to complain at a chain hamburger restaurant, but the food is too unhealthy. I don't think I'll be going there for a while.

Secretly open... There were rumors of an opening on 8/26/2022, but it seems to have opened without any fanfare. There doesn't seem to be an opening sale. So, I used a LINE coupon to purchase takeout. The Green Wrapper JR is extremely spicy, so be sure to be careful.

I ordered the "King Yeti The One Pounder" at a major fast food chain, which surprisingly cost over 2000 yen. Despite the outrageous specs of 4 meat patties and 6 slices of cheese, I didn't feel too heavy while eating it, and finished it in no time. Maybe the cheddar cheese made it feel less heavy? It was delicious and satisfying.

Late-night snack of a double Whopper cheese. It was too big for a late-night snack, but it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.
