I didn't quite understand how to use the food ticket machine. The staff at the restaurant seemed busy, with two people handling it. I forgot to choose a dipping sauce and couldn't figure out how to order for multiple people. So, I ended up ordering just for myself today. I managed to order the Awaji Island Burger set with fries and lemonade! The burger was delicious with sweet onions and juicy hamburger patty. The lemonade was refreshing with carbonation. The staff at the restaurant were also friendly. But I wish they could explain how to use the food ticket system better, haha.

The burger place that uses onions from Awaji Island is very generous in portion size. The burger has onion rings inside and they are incredibly delicious! When you order a set, it comes with a drink, choice of potato or onion rings, and sauce (for an additional 30 yen), and it was around 1470 yen, I think? It's less than 1500 yen. The buns, patty, and sauce are delicious and although it's big, you can finish it in no time. It's fun to choose from toppings like mentaiko mayo, cheese, avocado wasabi, etc. for the potatoes. The drinks are also fancy, and the craft cola was delicious. It's a luxurious burger, but definitely worth trying! ☆

After playing with my friends in Kitahiroshima, we decided to visit a recommended lunch spot, the Awaji Island burger specialty shop "Shimazuma Burger" in Hokkaido. They make the burgers after receiving the order, and since we were a large group, we each took turns ordering through the automatic touch panel system. I chose the Awaji Island Burger from the 4 types of burgers available, along with onion rings and a drink set. I selected a craft cola from the wide variety of drinks offered. The onion rings, made with Awaji Island onions, were juicy and delicious. The burger was light and easy to eat, with a patty that had a good aftertaste and paired well with the sweet Awaji Island onions. The onion rings, made with the same onions, were also outstanding. The craft cola had a citrusy touch and was easy to drink. We finished our meal quickly, especially enjoying the onion rings so much that we wanted more. The burgers were also delicious. Next time, I plan to try the avocado burger. Thank you for the meal.

Located about a 5-minute walk from Kitahiroshima Station, in a soft stone warehouse with a tiled roof that was previously used by "Tenjiku Kitahiroshima Store," a new restaurant called "Shimauma Burger Hokkaido Kitahiroshima" opened on April 14, 2023. I visited the restaurant just a week after its opening, and the operation seemed a bit unstable. The layout of the interior remained the same as when it was Tenjiku, with a counter seating for 4 on the first floor, two 2-seater table seats, and a second-floor seating area accessible via a narrow staircase. Upon entering, I was directed to the ticket machine on the right side of the entrance to view the menu. The menu was divided into eat-in and take-out options, with slightly different contents and prices. The specialty recommended on the menu was the "Awaji Island Burger," which features Awaji onions fried and Awaji beef patty sandwiched in whole wheat buns. The take-out price for this item was 880 yen, but for eat-in, it was only available as a set with either fries or onion rings for 1,280 yen. I chose the "Awaji Island Burger with Onion Rings Set @ 1,280" and selected the cheese dip sauce for the onion rings. The burger consisted of lettuce, patty, onion rings, cheese, and bacon with homemade tomato sauce on whole wheat buns. The Awaji onion rings were flavorful but a bit difficult to eat due to their thickness. The patty, however, was thin and lacked the taste of Awaji beef, which was disappointing. The homemade tomato sauce was overly sweet and did not complement the burger well. The soft buns, though made with whole wheat, lacked the distinct whole wheat flavor. The onion rings, though tasty, seemed overpriced for the portion provided. The dip sauce came in a small container that made it challenging to dip the onion rings. Overall, the menu lacked simpler options focusing on the quality of ingredients, and the excessive toppings and heavy sauces may indicate a lack of confidence in the ingredients. While this particular experience may not have suited my taste, it might appeal to others.

I found out about it somewhere and had been checking Instagram for a while. Before I knew it, it had a soft opening. It's the place that used to be Tenjiku. It was our first visit on the first weekend after the grand opening. We ordered the Awaji Island Burger combo with a drink for 1,480 yen. The parking lot is still shared with a coin laundry and fits 8 cars, but it's a bit tricky to get in and out. Despite being close to the station, the traffic is not too heavy. Inside, there is a ticket machine on the right. I was surprised because I didn't think there would be a ticket machine. I had studied the menu beforehand but got confused and flustered. I wanted to let the person behind me go first, but they kindly said, "I don't know either, so I'm watching." You don't need to hand over the ticket number at the counter; you can just sit wherever you like. It's a modern ticket machine. Normally, when your number is called, you go pick up your order, but they brought it to our table. For takeout, you wait at the bench seats behind the counter on the left side after entering. There is also seating on the second floor. The menu is simple. On that day, the avocado burger was sold out, so I had the Teriyaki Burger. It had a sweet teriyaki sauce with soy sauce base and homemade mayonnaise. The meat was juicy and delicious. The Awaji Island Burger is the signature menu item, with onion rings, bacon, and cheese, all in a homemade tomato sauce. They also have a double burger option. The whole wheat buns are large but fluffy and soft, making the burger delicious. Each burger comes with a side of either fries or onion rings, and you can choose from 4 different dipping sauces (Honey Mustard, Spicy Cod Roe, Cheese, Tomato). I chose Honey Mustard and Cheese. Even without any sauce, it was flavorful and delicious. You can't place an order at the counter and come back later to pick it up; they don't allow that. It's a bit pricey without individual items, but the food is delicious. Thank you for the meal.

On April 2, 2023, there was a trial opening, and from April 7th to 9th, there was a pre-opening event at the restaurant. This gourmet burger restaurant, which was established in Awaji Island in 2021, focuses on using Awaji Island onions and beef. It is located near JR Kitahiroshima Station, specifically at the intersection of Kitahiroshima Station's east exit area and Ebetsu-Eniwa Line. The restaurant is just a few minutes' walk from JR Kitahiroshima Station. The reviewer visited the restaurant on April 2, 2023, before its official opening, and ordered a Teriyaki Burger for 800 yen. Despite expecting a smaller size due to the price, the reviewer was surprised by the large portion. The burger was delicious, with a good balance of flavors, including a tasty beef patty made from Awaji Island beef. The reviewer felt that adding some acidity, such as pickled peppers or paprika, could enhance the burger even more. Overall, the reviewer enjoyed the well-made burger and appreciated the quality ingredients used in the dish.

The onion was sweet. The teriyaki sauce was refreshing and delicious.

It's delicious, but I'm a little worried about whether it can survive in this town.

It's a place in Kitahiroshima City, specifically in Chuo 5-chome at Ishinokura. As always, please check the exact location on the map on Tabelog. I heard that a hamburger shop, which used to be a soup curry restaurant called Ishikura, has opened for the first time in Hokkaido, so I was curious and decided to visit the shop. Upon arrival, I parked my car in the shared parking lot and entered the shop. I looked at the menu in front of the ticket machine, but there were no individual items available. When I asked the staff, I was told that in order to eat inside, I had to order a "hamburger" + "potato" or "hamburger" + "onion rings". Since I couldn't eat inside with just a "hamburger" + "drink", I reluctantly ordered the "Awajishima Burger" for takeout at the ticket machine and waited for my order. After about 10 minutes, my number was called and I received my order, then I returned to my car. I stopped by a convenience store to buy a drink, then headed to the free parking lot at Escon for 30 minutes. The burger itself was quite substantial, with a thick onion ring that had a strong presence. The main patty was also meaty, and overall, the Awajishima Burger provided a satisfying eating experience for me. I couldn't help but feel that it was a bit strict that you couldn't eat inside with individual orders or a "hamburger" + "drink".
