Taste of Tokyo lands in HK

From 21 to 27 May, Regent Hong Kong’s The Lobby Lounge will host an exclusive culinary collaboration with Japan’s award-winning gourmet brand Shogun Burger, bringing its signature wagyu creations to the city for the very first time.

This limited-time pop-up promises a rare opportunity to indulge in Shogun Burger’s renowned wagyu beef burgers — a sensation across Japan and social media — without going to Japan. Each burger is crafted from premium Japanese black wagyu, coarsely ground and never frozen, then smashed and seared to juicy perfection on a hot iron plate. The result: a rich, savory experience that has earned Shogun Burger top honors at both the Japan Burger Championship 2022 and World Food Championships 2023.

Four signature burgers are each served with crisp French fries and a trio of house-made sauces: Basil Sauce, Spicy Wagyu Chili Cheese Sauce, and Pollock Roe Cheese Sauce or opt for a mixed salad as a lighter accompaniment.

All burger sets include a dessert of your choice — either two scoops of ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or coffee) or a Matcha Sesame Tart — and a beverage selection featuring Gwei-lo Pale Ale or classic soft drinks.

Shogun Burger CEO and founder Taiki Honda, along with head chef Atsuko Ohgiya, will be present during the pop-up.

Honda, who launched Shogun Burger in 2016 after transforming his family’s traditional yakiniku business, has grown the brand into a culinary powerhouse with over 30 locations across Japan. Chef Ohgiya, a two-time World Food Championships finalist, brings unmatched creativity and precision to every burger she creates.

At HK$398 per set, this is a burger experience not to be missed.
