Lucky Pierrot Bay Area Main Store

Founded in 1987, this is the very first location of a popular hamburger chain that now operates 17 stores mainly in Hakodate. In addition to classic items like hamburg steaks, they offer more than ten unique original burgers, including one filled with jingisukan (grilled mutton), showcasing a truly creative lineup.

The place looks kind of retro and cute from the outside, and as soon as you walk in, you're hit with the amazing smell of burgers. The burgers aren't fancy, but they're big, hearty, and have a real American vibe. Super satisfying with every bite. The fries are pretty good too—crispy and flavorful.

This is the main store in Sakae, Nagoya, with over 100 years of history. The miso udon is their signature dish and a must-try. The noodles have a great texture—not too soft or hard. The broth is pretty salty, though, so some people might not be used to it.
