Fashion and style icon Cecile Zamora has something new for Manila’s foodie and dining scene.
The creative force behind Hamburg Yoshi’s Philippine expansion hosted an intimate well-attended opening at Verve Residences Tower 1, 26th Street, Bonifacio Global City.
The event brought together some of Manila’s most stylish and influential personalities, designers and creatives like sisters Candy Dizon and Janina Dizon, Rita Nazareno, JJ Acuna, Daryl Chang and Mano Lotho, collector Bigboy Cheng, fashion icons Jo Ann Bitagcol, Myrza Sison and journalist Ces Drilon, among many others. The restaurant presents a minimalist, light wood-themed interior, creating a cozy and welcoming ambiance.
Founded by Yoshinori Yasukawa, Hamburg Yoshi started as a yakiniku restaurant before pivoting to hamburg steaks during the pandemic.
The brand quickly gained popularity in Japan, Taiwan and Korea. Now, it aims to introduce its authentic flavors to Filipino diners.
The menu features four main hamburg varieties: Regular Beef, Wagyu Hamburg, Beef Tongue Hamburg and Skirt Steak. Each set meal includes miso soup, pickles, a raw egg and unlimited rice, offering a complete Japanese dining experience.
With its commitment to fresh, in-house ground meat and traditional Japanese cooking techniques, Hamburg Yoshi promises an authentic taste of Tokyo in the heart of Manila.
