<\/p>\nDaikanyama is one of my favorite areas in all of Tokyo. A friend of mine recently asked me if Daikanyama was a good shopping area. “Yes, definitely” “Oh, cool”, she replied. “Some good deals?” “No, definitely not.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Besides a slew of great shopping, cute cafes and fancy restaurants – Daikanyama also boasts what is probably the coolest bookstore in the world – the new Tsutaya Daikanyama T-Site Complex.\u00a0 It has an amazing bookstore, DVD rentals, a lounge constructed of books, a camera store with everything from Leicas to Holgas, etc.<\/p>\n
So when I wanted to get an apartment in Tokyo, Daikanyama was near the top of the list. The only problems I could see were that 1) I don’t own a small dog (I believe everyone in Daikanyama is required to own a small dog). And 2) it is on one of the more inconvenient train lines.<\/p>\n

So while you’re spending an inordinate amount of time waiting for the (probably delayed) Toyoko Line, you might spot, as I did, the Sasa Grill Burger Club perched on top of the station.<\/p>\n

Take a few lefts out of the station and you’ll find this rather adorable 1960’s style American burger joint stationed at the end of a cul-de-sac. Once inside, the also adorable menu shows the three sizes of burgers – S 80g, M 100g, and L 200g. For the metrically challenged, the 200g is almost 1\/2 lb, the 100g is almost 1\/4 lb, and the 80g is for dainty burger eaters who aren’t really serious about burgers and probably shouldn’t be reading an obsessive blog about burgers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The burgers have the slightest hint of spice (not spicy, but almost marinated) and they’re perfectly moist and tender. The fries are really just a distraction, not measuring up to the wonderful burger, and the plate looks a little bare. Don’t let the lack of flourishes in plating fool you. This is one tasty burger.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I could wax philosophical on the satisfaction in a perfect burger, or compose poetry on the anticipation of a meal at Sasa. Suffice to say that if you like burgers, this is definitely worth a ride on the Toyoko Line. (And if you don’t like burgers, boy have you come to the wrong place).<\/p>\n
