Hasamu

Great burger. I got the bacon cheeseburger, but calling that bacon is like calling the Taj Mahal a nice house…
The bun it’s wonderfully soft and toasted on the outside, buttery. Burger had tons of flavor, tomato and lettuce was fresh.
Bottom line if you’re in the area, come here for a great burger!

Yokohama; it’s not just about Akarenga anymore. It’s now about the best burger in the world found in a beach enclave a few KM from any beach.
Hasamu’s roots lie in a beach side van in Chiba. I first came upon the proprietor Naoki whilst chilling by the surf enjoying a warm October day. A flurry of surfers were munching burgers from this cute little van.
I looked in and this guy looked at me with a big smile and said «hey dude». I asked what his best burger was and he told me to order the bacon cheese burger. I got a heartland beer and sat while my burger was grilled to perfection.
O M F G — this was the best burger my taste buds ever tasted. I hung out, talked story and enjoyed the fading sunlight. Once home in Vancity I friended the owner on FB.
Fast forward two years and I’m checking out his FB page and I see he has opened a burger joint in Yokohama. Hasamu. I sent him a PM and asked him if it was his place. It was!
Next day I was on a train from Shibuya to Hasamu.
As soon as I walked in I felt like I was in some beach house in Malibu, Shonan or North Shore Oahu. As soon as I saw the owner Naoki, he gave me a big smile and a hug and sat me down. Within minutes I had a frosty heartland in my hand and I knew my burger was being grilled.
The place was packed. It seemed like the people here knew this place and were regulars. Hasamu has an easy going vibe. Naoki’s dog Samu sits outside by the patio greeting kids, retirees and all the dogs of the neighbourhood.
Seriously these burgers are some of the best you could ever have. Lovely soft buns, lovely seasoned patties and a slab of bacon that would make any Canadian bacon lover proud.
Come on in for a some dude friendly burgers, beers and a good tme
