What is it?
Sasebo Burger is the collective culture of city shops making patties, buns, sauces and vegetables and generally cooking each hamburger after it is ordered.
Bacon, egg, cheese, wagyu, chicken, steak, sweet mayonnaise and large sizes are shop choices, not one mandatory recipe.
History and local context
Official tourism traces the local account to recipes learned from the US Navy base around 1950, then adapted by shops for local customers; it should not prove one shop as Japan's first burger.
Cook patties, egg and bacon through, separate raw-meat tools, eat takeout promptly and check wheat, egg, dairy, soy and meat.
How to enjoy it
Wrap the burger in its paper, press lightly to unite fillings, test the heat and eat seated with both hands.
Availability varies by maker, season, and destination.
