Everyone knows Lotteria. In fact, the Chisato Central store was once known for having the highest sales among all stores in Osaka, or something like that. When I heard that, I gained a new perspective. "First Kitchen," "Dairy Queen," "El Pollo Loco," "Long John Silver"... all these fast food stores in Chisato Central couldn't break the stronghold of Lotteria and eventually disappeared, according to a certain store manager's grumbling. I thought, "Was it really that big?" However, with the arrival of McDonald's, Mos Burger, and even Saizeriya, it seems that this veteran store can no longer afford to be complacent. The size of the store and its cleanliness (after renovation) go without saying. The menu is ultimately determined by the headquarters, but I hope this place remains a symbol of Chisato Central. And now, onto a review-like commentary (laughs). Today, 11/29, they are offering a limited-time Steak Burger in honor of "good meat." I tried it right away. The bun is much whiter than usual. Hmm, they must be using rice flour. Perhaps to suit the Japanese taste that appreciates the compatibility of beef and rice. The meat... doesn't stick out as much as in the ads (laughs). I licked the sauce, but this is not it. It tastes like the "salt sauce" from the yakiniku sauce sold in supermarkets. A sauce with a soy sauce flavor would be better. As for the steak, it's the kind of "cheap meat" that even family restaurants wouldn't serve these days. It tastes terrible, even if it's not what I expected. The size is also unsatisfactory, and at this level, there is no value in the single item priced at 840 yen. If you want to try it, stick to the half size for 420 yen. It's a limited-time offer, but it doesn't seem to have the value to be included in the regular menu. Speaking of which, the Exquisite Burger, when it was first released, had a campaign that said "if it doesn't suit your taste, we'll refund you." Honestly, it didn't suit my taste. The combination of lukewarm burger and cold vegetables in the mouth was interesting, but the burger wasn't hot enough, so it ended up lukewarm... I'll stick to the regular burger, thank you. But I still like Lotteria. It's fast, cheap, and reasonably tasty. Except for the Steak Burger (laughs).

There are too many odd things that I don't feel like trying. Of course, they might be delicious if you eat them... When I heard that shaved ice from Taiwan was going to be released, I went to eat it... but it starts next week. So, not wanting to leave the store without ordering anything, I just ordered the cheapest burger and drink. The taste was... just average (bitter smile). Really, I have nothing to write about. Please forgive me for this kind of content as I organize my photos for reviews. The cola was actually delicious (laughs). (2015.10.05) ◇◇
