Japan Culinary : Coco's Japanese Hamburger

When you look around in japan, mostly their streetfoods are containing seafood, ever since meat price is higher than the rest, only a few will actually sell beef meat. Usually they sell it in restaurants or ryokan, which is sold at a really high price *o*

It was winter night, the clock already struck at 11 pm and we just got into our room in Kanazawa, we're so hungry so we decided to check local foods there. There is no streetfood stalls in sight, but when we take a walk about 5-10 minutes later, we found this fastfood restaurant called COCO'S. The outside looks really neat, and inside is a warm-family-restaurant looking.The cashier and receptionist is located near the front door, so make sure don't just straight go inside, what you need to do first is write your name in the guest book and let the waiter know, you can wait in the waiting seat and after that the waiter will guide you to your table ^^

What's surprising is eventhough it's already 11 pm, there are so much people and family hanging out xD by the time i got to find my table, i realize that the interior reminds me a lot of  the scene from 'tsuki ga kirei'. The tables, the drink bar, also the foods too! *o*

It just look exactly like it xD i didn't get the chance to capture the whole interior, since i was too busy with my food (sorry). Anyway, the menus are wayyy to temptating, i specially cannot get my eyes off their cocoshe x_x Specially the one called 'Strawberry cocoshe with fondant chocolate inside' and ends up ordering it first before i get the main course xD

 The desserts are cheap, considering how they are sooo tasty (it's only 500 yen) and also, it is a perfect dessert after ordering the main course. My choice of main course is Coco's Japanese Hamburger with Grilled Kobe Beef and 6 KIND OF CHEESE inside (yeah, you read that right, 6 kind of cheese) since i asked which one is without pork and wine, and they suggested us this. Yes, it is expensive, but actually it is not too expensive since it use kobe beef .-. It has such a heavenly taste to describe, i really love cheese and beef, and mixing them up with this unimaginable way... is perfect. I love the taste, it is not too salty, not too cheesy, it has the right texture, it is soft but it also still chewy enough to eat.

 If you wonder if this is steak or is it hamburger, it is BOTH of them. This is japanese hamburger, so you won't expect a whole beef sliced and grilled but a mix of meats (sometimes beef mixed with chicken or etc) minced and formed together.

Italian Smoked Cheese

 meanwhile my brother choose Italian Smoked Cheese grilled beef  soaked in Tomato Sauce. It really looks like vegan steak since it has so many vegetable inside x_x i didn't really like the taste tho xD

Coco's Restaurant

In the end, it was all worth it because it is tasty, it is warm, and plus, it is family-friendly restaurant. It has also doraemon special menus for kids (and it also temptating). It still considered as fast food, but it has a different taste than any othe fastfood i've ever tasted so far~ Also, if you are a maniac of studio ghibli, i happened to found one of their most iconic things in this restaurant : Grave of the Fireflies Candy. I don't know if they also sell it in another restaurant chain, but i bought this in Coco's Kanazawa. Every colour has its own different taste, and it tasted good! You should buy one as a souvenir~
