Kua Aina

The front of the shop.

The inside where lots of surfing-related goods are displayed.


A standard hamburger set.



I like to tell about something typical of Japan, but my country has been so far influenced by many foreign countries, such as China, Korea, the Netherlands, the US and so on. Among them, American infulence is the strongest. McDonald's is the biggest hamburger company here, but many different burger shops have popped up across the nation.


Some people like to have a relatively expensive burger. This shop in Kashiwa city, Chiba prefecture, called Kua Aina, which I visited the other day is said to have come from Hawaii, and even Barack Obama has visited one of its outlets. I think its taste is the best in Japan.


Japanese hamburger shops offer small burgers that wouldn't fill up the stomach of western people, but the burgers of this shop are sure to make you feel full.

There are about 6 outlets in Tokyo, so if you have a chance to come to the capital, please visit one.
