​"THE CORNER Hamburger & Saloon"  is located near the Nagono shopping arcade in Nagoya City. Opened in 2010, it is a pioneer of handmade hamburgers in Nagoya.

The name "The Corner" comes from the fact that the restaurant is located on the "corner". The inside of the restaurant is well ventilated and you can eat inside or outside, or take it home. You can enjoy hamburgers in your favorite style.

Bright and airy interior

There are also terrace seats and stand tables outside.

The Corner's hamburgers, which have been loved in Nagoya for over 12 years, are full of attention to detail, from the ingredients used and how they are made to how they are served.

In this issue, we would like to introduce some of The Corner's most cherished specialties and the secret to its delicious taste!

Every step of the process is important and meticulous.
The commitment is to the perfection of the hamburger.

The most popular "The Corner Burger" 1,780 yen (tax included)

Each of The Corner's hamburgers has its own particular process: how the patty is made, how it is cooked, and how it is served.

The patties are made from 100% beef without any binding agent and are exquisitely blended to give the full flavor of the meat. Then, each patty is formed into a ring shape, and the air is removed to lock in the juices. This allows the juices to spread in the mouth when chewed, increasing the juiciness of the meat.

And since plenty of meat juice soaks in and softens, the buns are deliberately firm. The corner's original buns are slightly sweet and go well with the special onion butter sauce. The sauce, which is made by sautéing onions and blending spices and butter, marvelously brings together the flavors of each ingredient, making it an indispensable decisive factor in the flavor of The Corner.

Vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes are also arranged in a thick shape, and they are particular about perfection as a single dish. There is no compromise in taste or appearance.

Stick to homemade toppings and side menus

The Corner's hamburger menu has a wide variety and features a wide variety of toppings. Everything is handmade except for the ones that use raw materials such as pineapples and avocados. From sauces such as salsa, teriyaki and BBQ to chili beans and smoked cheese, everything is made in-house.

Popular toppings include cheddar cheese, eggs, and avocado, but there are also rare toppings like maple syrup. Maple syrup goes well with slightly strong ingredients such as nuts and blue cheese, and is included in the regular menu under the name of "Black & Blue Burger". Recommended for those who like wine.

At lunchtime, you can combine your favorite toppings with a basic hamburger, so why not try various types?

The corner's most popular item is "The Corner Burger," topped with eggs, thick-sliced bacon, and homemade smoked cheese.

The smoked cheese is also grilled at the same time as the patty and bacon are baked, and then smoked together with the patty. The fragrantly grilled bacon is also combined, and you can enjoy the impactful aroma that you feel the moment you put the hamburger in your mouth.

Choose from 4 types of side menus: French fries, mashed potatoes, onion rings, and coleslaw. It is also recommended to enjoy potatoes and pickles with plenty of cheese sauce on the plate.

Unique monthly menu with special feeling

In April, "THE BUMPER" will create an exquisite harmony of thick-sliced bacon, grilled spinach and peanut butter cream.

Enjoy "the taste of the corner" that has continued for over 10 years in Nagoya!

The Corner, which has entered its 13th year since opening, can be said to be a long-established store in Nagoya as a handmade hamburger specialty restaurant.

Mr. Takeichi, who has kept The Corner store alive as chief manager of The Corner, spoke about the changes that have taken place and what the future holds.

Mr. Takeichi earnestly assesses the doneness of the patty and ingredients

Mr. Takeichi: “No matter how busy we are, we strive to provide hamburgers of the same quality. We are doing trial and error every day to make it even more delicious while still being consistent.

It's not just the taste of the burger, but the way it's served and the restaurant's operations. For example, although there were various damages due to the influence of the COVID-19, there were also many positive aspects. By introducing the advance payment system and cashless payment, everything from ordering to serving has become smoother, and we have been able to further strengthen the takeout and delivery that we had originally been doing.

I think there will be a lot of changes in the future, but I would like to improve the taste and service while maintaining the good parts and the parts that we cherish. ”

The Corner is located in a quiet corner of the town, within walking distance from Nagoya Station and close to Endoji Shopping Street. You can always enjoy the same quality and the best burgers at that time. If you haven't tried it yet, why don't you visit it?
