With a 50-year history at the observatory of Fukuoka's Nishi Park, the legendary hamburger shop "Imaya's Hamburger" continues to fascinate fans nationwide. Inheriting its sign and traditional taste, "Imaya's Hamburger Osaka 1st Store" will have its grand opening on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, in Nippombashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka.

A 50-year-loved Fukuoka specialty burger starts a new history in Osaka Minami.

"Three Commitments" Pursued Even by Delaying the Opening

"I want to spread the taste of the legend, Mr. Imasaki, in my beloved hometown of Osaka." With this strong desire, the owner made no compromises in the buns, meat, or atmosphere, and prepared to the point of delaying the scheduled opening to achieve a quality he was satisfied with.

Repeatedly prototyped "Specialty Hot Dog Buns"

こだわりのパン🥖 (Specialty Buns)

The owner of the main store, Mr. Imasaki, is most particular about the buns.

While adhering to the original philosophy of "crispy when toasted, additive-free, safe and secure buns that don't interfere with the taste of the ingredients," the Osaka store has made its own improvements.

After numerous trials, we developed an additive-free, body-friendly "Specialty Hot Dog Bun" that is crispy and fragrant when toasted, and delicious enough to be the star on its own.

We serve it in the best condition to complement the ingredients.

"Freshly Ground Flavor" Ordered Daily from the Butcher

こだわりのハンバーグ🥩 (Specialty Hamburg Steak)

The star of Imaya's Hamburger is, of course, the handmade hamburg steak.

At the Osaka store, we custom-order the ground meat from a butcher. By having it delivered freshly ground every morning, we maximize the umami and sweetness of the meat itself.

"Delicious even without sauce"

Please enjoy our juicy handmade hamburg steak.

An "American Diner" Unique to the Osaka 1st Store

こだわりの世界観🏁 (Specialty Worldview)

We expressed the 50-year history and traditional taste in an "American Diner" worldview, typical of Osaka Minami.

The fusion of nostalgic Fukuoka soul food and a stylish diner space.

As a new specialty spot in Nippombashi, we offer an experience that is particular about both appearance and taste.
