Near Akatsuka Station on the subway, there is a MOS Burger along Kawagoe Kaido. I wanted to try the new "Sour Chicken Nanban" so I stopped by on my way there. The clean and bright interior of the store had the typical MOS atmosphere. There are seats on the first floor, but it's more relaxing to eat on the second floor. Both floors have seats with outlets available. The Sour Chicken Nanban features thick chicken with plenty of sauce. The sweet and sour flavor stimulates the appetite. The chicken is tender and delicious! It has a good volume but can be eaten up quickly. This time, I only ordered the Ginger Ale, but I should have also ordered the fries and used the extra sauce on them. I'm curious to try the Chicken Nanban Burger which was released at the same time or the revival version!

On Saturday afternoon, I had a Mos Burger for lunch and ordered the Meat Cheese Burger for 400 yen. The burger had a generous amount of meat sauce on top of the cheese, with just the right softness in the buns and a flavorful, thick patty. It's the kind of burger that you occasionally crave, and that's the charm of Mos Burger.

On March 25, 2020, I had to take photos at an elementary school graduation ceremony. The ceremony involved taking pictures of each student receiving their graduation certificate, which made me nervous because sometimes I would miss a shot. After successfully finishing the photo session, I headed towards Akatsuka Station, where I found a Mos Burger nearby. Feeling hungry, I decided to have a Mos Burger, which I rarely eat but always find delicious.

The second floor is spacious, bright, and clean, which is nice. You can relax and use it leisurely.

A passionate request from an acquaintance at a globally known chain cafe to compare with other similar businesses, so here we go! This time, we have a newly established store that is a model example of the classic setup, not located near a train station, but definitely generating stable sales. Hats off to MOS Burger for perfectly adhering to the established norms of chain food and fast-food establishments. The experience and expertise really show! Warm and quiet interior, following the tradition from the McDonald's era under President Fujita, this MOS Burger store maintains the classic two-floor layout. This layout is essential for chain food establishments, and back in the day, it was a trendy feature for chains entering the Japanese market. The two-floor setup ensures better air conditioning and separates the customer area from the staff area, enhancing customer comfort. This MOS Burger store has a layout of kitchen and takeout waiting area on the first floor, and a dining area, toilets, and backroom on the second floor. The backroom is conveniently located right after the stairs, with dishwashing area and trash bins nearby. This layout allows staff to move around without crossing the dining area, making operations smoother and enhancing the customer experience. Despite being a later entrant into the market, MOS Burger didn't always get prime locations like McDonald's. However, they made up for it with innovative store layouts. The focus on prioritizing the dining area and customer comfort in their layout design is evident in many of their stores. The store is well-equipped with various seating options, including benches, stand-up cafe-style seats, and sofa seats with armrests, surpassing Starbucks and other cafes in terms of variety. The store also offers a cozy ambiance, making it suitable for cafe-like experiences. The menu includes unique items like brown rice flake shakes and desserts like sweet red bean soup, catering to a diverse customer base. Customers can opt for a dessert and drink combo for around 600 yen, making it an attractive option for different customer segments. The store also excels in service efficiency, with staff serving orders promptly and cleaning the floor and tables regularly. The store's service system ensures a consistently clean environment, enhancing the overall dining experience. One minor downside is the limited options for coffee and tea, lacking variety compared to other offerings. However, overall, MOS Burger's focus on creating a welcoming environment, innovative menu items, and efficient service system sets them apart in the competitive fast-food industry.

"Mos Burger✨ is a classic fast food chain. I noticed that the taste has changed when I eat it occasionally. I used to prefer the sauce from before. Now, the taste feels more protein-rich!"

The first floor is for ordering, and the second floor is the dining area! It's tough for people like me with bad knees!

I wandered around the station area thinking about where to go for lunch on the weekend, and suddenly felt like having a hamburger. So, I decided to go to Mos Burger after a long time. After some consideration, I chose the Fish Burger because I wanted something gentle among the hamburgers. It was a simple burger with buns, tartar sauce, and cheese. When I took a bite, the fluffy fish and crispy coating matched well with the tartar sauce. Water was included in the set, so I washed it down quickly. I couldn't resist the occasional Mos Burger over McDonald's.

In March, it had been a few years since MOS Burger had withdrawn from the station near me, but now they have returned to the first floor of a new apartment building in front of the station. Today, I felt like having something to go with my drink at home, so I decided to stop by. Since they don't serve beer here, I got takeout. I ordered a Seafood Tempura Burger for 310 yen, a Spicy Chili Dog for 350 yen, and a Small Potato for 190 yen, totaling 850 yen. I've been eating this same combination for about ten years now. When they didn't have the Tempura Burger, I used to get a Plain Hot Dog instead. I actually prefer onion rings, but they don't travel well, so I go with the Potato for takeout. MOS Burger is often praised as having the best burgers, but personally, I'm not a big fan. I prefer a burger with a beef patty that's a bit chewy, which is why I don't really enjoy MOS Burger's smooth and soft patties. If it's a hamburger steak instead of a burger, I can tolerate the smooth patty, but not in a burger. So, I always go for the Seafood Tempura Burger and the Spicy Chili Dog. When the Rice Burger first came out at MOS, I thought it was strange, but now I love it. This time, it was so delicious that I wanted to have another one. This is totally different from a rice ball... at least, that's how I feel (laughs). I saw that the Shrimp Burger is back, so I might try that next time, even though I usually don't buy burgers.

On the way to a friend's house, I felt like having Mos Burger for lunch, so I decided to buy some and bring it with me. I found a Mos Burger restaurant near the subway station when I searched online. I went down at Akatsuka Station, and it was right next to Lawson near the national highway. I went inside and ordered two sets of soup and potato. I chose clam chowder and octopus and vegetable soup. My friend wanted a teriyaki chicken, and I always order the Spicy Mos Burger when I go to Mos Burger. I also bought two pieces of Mos Chicken. After waiting for about 10 minutes, our order was ready for takeout. The Spicy Mos Burger is always delicious no matter when you eat it. This was my first time ordering soup at Mos Burger, and I was surprised by the clam chowder with clams in it, giving it a nice ocean flavor. But what surprised me the most was the Mos Chicken. I hadn't eaten it for about three years, but it tasted even better than before. The crispy coating and juicy meat were just perfect. It was a delicious meal.

The restaurant is facing the Kawagoe Kaido Road. It is not so much new, but it is a clean and well-maintained shop. The staff are also very friendly. I visited around lunchtime for a light meal. I ordered the "Moss Nan Spice Meat Tacos" (370 yen) and "Blended Coffee" (230 yen). I arrived at the second-floor seating area. The shop also delivers drinks to the table. The wait time was about 10 minutes. It no longer feels like fast food, but rather a regular cafe. When the Moss Nan arrived, I thought, "Uh-oh." I completely forgot the mess I made last time I ate Moss Nan, both my hands and mouth were sticky. That time I took it to go, so it was still okay. This time it's inside the shop... If anyone knows a way to eat this Nan without getting your hands and mouth sticky, please let me know. As a last resort, I used the spoon that came with the coffee to scoop up the toppings and ate it. The bright and cozy atmosphere with background music in the shop was nice. It was still quiet in the late morning, which may have affected the service quality.

Exiting Akatsuka Station on the subway, you will find a MOS Burger along the Kawagoe Kaido. It's easy to spot the sign as soon as you step out onto the street. The restaurant is completely smoke-free, which is great for those who dislike smoking. There doesn't seem to be a designated smoking area, so smokers might feel a bit cramped. The interior is overall new and clean, with a comfortable atmosphere especially for women. There are various seating options including 2-person tables facing each other (with chairs and sofa seats, a few pairs of each), 4-person sofa seats, counter seats facing the street (with outlets, 2-3 seats), and small 2-person table seats. During weekdays at lunchtime, there are usually a few local moms dining, but it's never too crowded. On weekends during lunch, it tends to be busier than expected, with more conversational customers. However, on weekday nights, there are often students studying. One evening around 8 pm, all the 4-person tables were occupied by studying customers. While it may be a good place for studying, it might not be suitable for those seeking a quiet atmosphere. On one occasion, a customer even pulled another table closer to spread out their study materials. This is not your home. Although such customers are rare, the abundance of studying customers can make the atmosphere a bit tense. I ordered the MOS Burger and a large fries set. I don't have the receipt, but it was around 800 yen. While the meat in the MOS Burger seemed relatively thin compared to other burgers, overall, I was satisfied. Dipping the leftover sauce with the fries made it even more enjoyable. If you're like me, questioning the thickness of the meat, you might want to splurge on the "Premium" series. In conclusion, the food and atmosphere are good. The open setting facing the main street is pleasant. Lunchtime visits are recommended, but be aware of the abundance of studying customers in the evenings.

Moss Burger has finally arrived in Shimokasuga! Moss Burger has a vibe of being safe and secure. McDonald's is fast, cheap, and good. Moss Burger is all about being delicious. It's really impressive that they can maintain this quality in a chain restaurant. I always go for the teriyaki chicken burger and iced coffee. The customer service is also great and professional. I would love to have a Moss Burger in my neighborhood. Thank you for the meal! I will definitely visit again if I have the chance!

This time, I used it for tea time. It is a newly opened restaurant. You can eat in, but this time I used it for takeout. The order was the "Cheese" Hamburg Sandwich for 390 yen. The "Cheese" Hamburg Sandwich is a hamburger with a patty made from a blend of domestic beef and pork, cheese, onion slices, and soy sauce. It was a delicious dish that brought out the flavor of the pork. The restaurant is very clean as it is a new establishment. It is a hamburger shop located near Akatsuka subway station.

I ordered online and did takeout. It was a style where you confirm the order on a screen like McDonald's and then pick it up at the counter instead of grabbing it quickly. There was only one register open, so I thought it might take a while to pick up if there was a line for orders. The ordered items were Spicy Mos Burger, Teriyaki Chicken Burger, and Onion Potato Mos with tomato sauce. The taste of vegetables was strong and delicious. The finely chopped onions and fresh vegetables were tasty. Even after eating, my stomach didn't feel heavy and there was no sense of guilt. I once again realized that this hamburger chain store has high quality.
