"We are extremely pleased to have been selected for the World’s 25 Best Burgers 2026 by Burgerdudes and to have received the 7th place ranking.

We have been able to come this far thanks to the team that supports our restaurant every day. I am very proud of each and every staff member who diligently faces their work daily and strives to deliver a good experience to our customers. And of course, this recognition also belongs to the wagyu farmers, butchers, and producers. We want to continue to be a place that tells their stories."
