When browsing IG, I came across this restaurant chain Tokura and their juicy hamburger steaks. After a lot of scrolling and drooling (lol) I was determined to visit myself!
Quick! watch this:

Are you hungry yet? I'm starving HAHA.
Tokura is a family styled chain restaurant in Kyoto, they have 3 locations, we visited the Sanjo store in Karasuma which was most convenient for us.

Their exterior is not the most eye-catching, and it also is located in a small neighborhood, not by the busy shopping streets, definitely a restaurant most tourists would wander by.
At the time of our visit it was already quite late, around 9pm, and to our surprise, there was still a line waiting outside!
The interior is also family friendly, mostly booth seating.
Menu
Specializing in hamburger steaks, there was a wide selection of flavours to choose from, whether you prefer Japanese styled or Western styled.
You have the option to order the hamburgers à la carte or as a set.
❁Western set: soup, salad, rice or bread
❁Japanese set: miso soup, rice, pickles
Food
We ordered our hamburger steaks with the Western set.
サラダ & スープ Salad & Soup
My salad and pumpkin soup, nothing too special.
チーズハンバーグ Cheese Hamburger Steak
My friend ordered the cheese hamburger steak. It is the original hamburger with lots of cheese on top and red wine sauce.
カルボナーラハンバーグ Carbonara Hamburger Steak
The one I ordered is drizzled in rich carbonara sauce (cheese, egg, bacon, cream). Our food smelled ah-maze-ingg!
Now for the moment of truth, testing out the juiciness of these patties.....
YASS that is what we were waiting for :DD
This video does not do it justice! (it's really hard to film and poke it at the same time lol.)
The meat was soft and tender, super duper juicy, we couldn't stop one bite after another!
Verdict
Definitely recommend!!
I would say this is the hamburger version of a xiao long bao (soup dumpling) except you can't really drink all the soup first.
if you happen to be near one of their 3 locations or just looove a good juicy piece of meat (?) come try it for yourself haha!
