It is with a heavy heart that I write that Kame House Burger will be closing at the end of September.
Apparently, the owner is moving on to bigger and better things in Tokyo, so this hamburger joint will soon be history.
Luckily for me, I’ve already dined there twice within the last two weeks with a couple of good friends to share the moment, and I plan on returning at least once more for ole’ time’s sake.
I was never a frequent visitor to Kame House due to its location in Izumi, which made it quite a trek for me. Still, it was worth the trek when I did make it.
A week ago I visited on Friday during lunchtime with my good friend, Tony, who had never been to Kame House but had always wanted to go. He seemed to really like his Double-Burger. The place had quite a few customers but it was no problem getting a table.
This weekend, I was fortunate enough to have my dear friend, Yvonne, accompany me to the famed burger restaurant. The place was crowded! And we ended up waiting about twenty minutes for our table. I ordered my usual Double-Burger (1100 yen) without sauce, and my companion went with the Avocado-Cheeseburger with Barbeque Sauce on the side. We both split an order of Onion Rings.

The meat patty in my burger on this second visit seemed thicker than my previous encounter, with a strong and delicious peppery flavor to it. The fries were good and I was quite happy with the onion rings. Yvonne seemed to really enjoy her burger as well!
My disappointment came as I had my heart set on a chocolate milkshake to go with my burger, only to be informed that shakes are only served after 5:30 pm. Despite my pleading and puppy dog eyes, I was given a stern “ごめんなさい.” That’s why I plan to go back one more time, but after 5:30 pm.
If you have never been to Kame House, I urge you to rush down as soon as you can to try one of the best burgers in town! For those of you who have devoured the greasy goodness, return before it’s too late!
**Yvonne was gracious enough to give me permission to use her photos for this post. I am very grateful as she is a much better photographer than I am. Thanks, Vonnie!

What? No shakes before 17:30? Blasphemy! I was going to go tomorrow for lunch, but no shake? Bah. Will wait.
Bummed that it's closing, tho'.
:(
I was told by a mutual friend that sometime back, a certain someone was able to charm their way into ordering a shake at lunchtime when there weren't many customers around.
Apparently, I have no such charm, or, it was because the place was crowded.
