Let’s simply say that the burger we ate at this sub-brand of Mos Burger made us wish to begin a petition instantly.
Do you know? Common Japanese burger chain Mos Burger (“MOS” standing for “Mountain, Ocean, Solar”) has a number of sub-brands to its identify resembling drink specialty store Stand by Mos or cheeseburger specialty store Mosh Seize’n Go. Most of those outlets could be discovered, or in some instances exist solely, throughout the Higher Tokyo Space.
Up till September 12, one sub-brand referred to as Cafe Mountain, Ocean & Solar was situated solely in Shizuoka Prefecture. That’s all modified now that its second location is formally open in Tokyo’s jap Kameido district, and also you guess that we needed to test it out for ourselves. The restaurant is a part of the Atre Kameido buying and eating complicated, which additionally simply newly reopened after in depth renovations. After we visited the day after this grand opening, there was nonetheless a way of pleasure within the air, and facility employees had been handing out promotional uchiwa followers to be able to lure buyers inside.
We discovered the restaurant a brief stroll inside from the doorway on the primary flooring in space with loads of sweets, espresso, and tea.
We then took a second to mull over its mouthful of a reputation, which sounds a bit longwinded in both Japanese or English. Maybe the inclusion of “Cafe” and the illustrated emblem had been making an attempt to convey a laidback vibe, however all we may suppose was that it sounded just like the title of a minor rock band’s album.
Trying on the menu, it was clear that there have been fewer choices for burgers than at a typical Mos Burger–however that appeared to make sense primarily based on its smaller measurement. By way of menu gadgets that don’t seem at an everyday store, the “Pinsana” pizza-style bread and sizzling canine had been positively distinctive.
The featured drinks had been a line of Colourful Sodas and the spotlighted dessert was Milky Comfortable-Serve Ice Cream.
The Pinsana was positively tempting, however we ultimately settled on the Mos Hen Burger (990 yen [US$7] for a set with fries, a facet salad, a bit of fried rooster, and juice or soup). Whereas common Mos Burger shops promote fried Mos Hen as a facet order, it doesn’t at the moment exist in burger type (there’s a special Mos Hen Burger that’s made utilizing a rooster patty). We additionally ordered a further small-sized Selfmade Lemonade Soda for 389 yen, which resulted in a 100-yen meal/drink mixture low cost.
The drink arrived first. It was candy, bitter, and extremely refreshing, with slices of lemon floating close to the highest. It positively helped to beat the lingering summer time warmth.
The meal set quickly arrived on a round plate and looking out very colourful as a complete.
There are two selections for a liquid when ordering the meal set–vegetable juice or a mini soup–and we sprung for the juice this time. Its measurement wouldn’t have been giant sufficient for a drink by itself, however as a part of this set, it was an ideal accompaniment.
The opposite facet was a bean and candy potato mini salad. Rounding off the plate had been a small handful of fries and a slice of bone-in Mos rooster to eat individually.
Now, onto the burger itself. Virtually spilling out of the buns had been a thick slice of tomato and chunk of Mos Hen, all resting on a mattress of recent lettuce. The tomato was additionally lined in a tartar sauce that positively contained a splash of lemon juice.
Evidently, the crispiness of the rooster paired exquisitely with the softness of the greens. What a easy however scrumptious idea it was–and made utilizing substances that ought to all already be mendacity round at any Mos retail location. We’re going to place a plea out to the cosmos now that the Mos Hen Burger must change into an ordinary menu merchandise at common Mos Burger areas. Sure, it’s simply that good. In fact, it might be exhausting getting over to the Mos Cafe in Kameido once more within the close to future when common shops have simply begun providing tantalizing candy potato-themed desserts as properly.
