A 20-centimeter-high hamburger tower!? The astonishing specialty "10-tier hamburger"

"Arabica" is a long-established coffee shop in Toyokawa City, Aichi Prefecture, founded over 50 years ago. Although it's a very traditional coffee shop where you wouldn't expect to find impact gourmet, with dishes like "Yakisoba Teishoku" (1,100 yen) and "Ebi Fry Hamburger" (1,550 yen), the "10-tier Hamburger" (5,300 yen / limited quantity) is a specialty that surprises everyone.

With 10 layers of hamburger, it boasts an astonishing height of 20 centimeters! This hamburger tower, which wobbles even when fixed with a special support, has an outstanding impact.

The hamburgers are made entirely by hand from the patty, using coarsely ground meat to fully enjoy the flavor of the meat. The homemade demi-glace sauce, finished sweet to match the meat juices, is an exquisite combination.
