It became Jyo-han-kei's No. 1 popular menu item upon its release. The price is 600 yen.

Why is Hamburg Steak the Best Seller at a Hot Spring Resort?

The reason customers visiting for the hot springs invariably order it is the unique preparation method specific to this region. The steamed hamburg steak is made using "Jigoku Mushi," a traditional method in Beppu and Kannawa, which involves steaming with hot spring vapor. Steaming instead of grilling removes excess fat while creating a fluffy, light texture. The unexpectedness of a "hamburg steak without grill marks" and the gentle flavor unique to steamed dishes have captured the hearts of many customers.

Became Jyo-han-kei's No. 1 Popular Menu Item Upon Release

Since its release on June 16, the steamed hamburg steak has been Jyo-han-kei's most popular menu item. (Note: Including sales figures like "X meals sold within X days of release" would provide further evidence of its popularity and serve as a strong headline). Its affordable price of 600 yen is also a reason why it's chosen by a wide range of customers.
