Japanese Hamburger
The Japanese hamburger, or Teriyaki Burger, is a unique Eastern twist on the classic American hamburger. The sweet and savory flavors of the teriyaki sauce perfectly complement the juicy ground beef, while the panko breadcrumbs give the patty a lighter texture. The first teriyaki burgers appeared on the menus of fast-food restaurants in Japan in the second half of the 20th century and have since become popular worldwide. Wasabi mayonnaise is a spicy, creamy condiment that adds extra excitement to the dish. If you love Asian flavors, you definitely have to try this hamburger!
