GRILL BURGER CLUB SASA
Last week seemed promising with rainfalls and sudden temperature drops. So, why is it so freaking hot this week?! This weather is nasty and it needs to go away so I can wear the clothes that I just bought.
Yet again, it has taken me a month to build up the strength to write a food blog. I find that I need strength to write up these solely because I become uber hungry while I attempt to recall that restaurant, that taste, that atmosphere. But because it's been a while and because I just ate lunch, I think I'll survive this one without salivating excessively.
This past week we were blessed with a 3-day weekend. I spent each day outside and did not waste any minute of it. I went to the usual places; Harajuku & Shibuya. But, on Saturday, I decided to go shopping in a different district--Daikanyama (代官山）. I've always admired the people who lived there because compared to Shibuya (although it's surprisingly only one station away), it's very peaceful and the streets are usually empty despite there being such adorable boutiques and chic cafes. You can say it's more for "mature" adults.
My friend and I were planning on eating at a hamburger shop because we were craving it. We decided to go to the first shop we saw which was SASA, located right in front of Daikanyama station.
Like many restaurants in Tokyo, it was very small but it felt very much like home (America); your average local diner.
Although it looks small and it actually was small, I enjoyed it to full content and I felt it was just the right amount for me because I had an ice cream before that. haha The meat was juicy and it kept dripping all over until I found that there were these convenient burger paper covers to prevent you from getting dirty. The avocado was just right, just ripe. Buns were crispy on the outside, soft when you bite into it. Piping hot, un-oily potato fries. Cold crunchy pickle. Perfection.
I will definitely come back again to try their mushroom burger that my friend ordered because it looked delicious!
Price: Pricey but worth it. (900yen~)
Location: 2-21-15 EbisuNishi Shibuya-ku. A 30-second walk from Daikanyama station.

Rating: 1,000 slices of avocado ftw!

There were a variety of burgers to choose from (you can also choose the weight of your burger 80g, 120kg and 170g) as well as a couple sandwich items and of course a list of side orders. I went with the avocado burger (80g) because I hardly have any chances to eat avocado in Japan for some reason. Each burger comes with with pickles and fries.
