Must-eat specialty: Signature "Sliced and Pan-Fried Burger" (Kittatsuya)

If you've seen its photos on social media, you'll definitely be drawn to its special cross-section.

• Proprietary technique The method is to cut the burger in half lengthwise, then place the cut sides on a hot griddle to "sear again," allowing the juices from the beef patty and the essence of the toppings to be reabsorbed by the bun and fillings.

• Surprising texture After the faceted cut and pan-frying, there's an added layer of rich char and a slight crispiness. When you bite into it, it retains its juicy fullness, offering a textural complexity far beyond that of a regular burger.
