The Tokyo Teriyaki Shiitake Burger brings the vibrant flavors of Japanese street food to your dinner table.

What makes this burger special is the blend of ground beef and pork, which creates an incredibly juicy patty with a tender texture that's popular in Japanese hamburgers. The shiitake mushrooms add an earthy, meaty flavor that complements the teriyaki glaze beautifully, while the wasabi mayo provides a creamy heat that ties everything together. Fresh ginger in the patty adds aromatic brightness that elevates each bite.
