Twenty-one popular burger shops from across Japan are gathering at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse to compete in the second Japan Burger Championship from June 13 to 15. Each venue will be cooking up its best hamburgers, which will be judged based on the taste and skill of the chefs. The winner of the competition will compete in the World Food Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana this coming November.
Several Tokyo burger joints are taking part, including JS Burgers Cafe and Blacows. Restaurants from Gifu, Kagoshima, Hyogo, Toyama and Gunma are participating as well. You can also pair your meal with fries at the Japan French Fries Championship, which is held at the same location simultaneously.
