Must-try gourmet burgers of Nagoya

When you hear "hamburger", a beef patty between two slices of bread probably comes to mind. However, there is another dimension to burgers: the "gourmet burger". A gourmet burger uses select ingredients with an emphasis on its creation, offering a savoriness nearly unmatched in the culinary world.
This column offers our recommendations on distinctive gourmet burger joints in Nagoya—only a few of the many. While flavor obviously plays an important role in deciding the eateries featured here, other aspects, such as the bistros' logos and interiors as well as the provision of craft beers and other touches to complement the burgers, were deciding factors.
Read on to find the perfect place with the perfect burger for you to sink your teeth into.
Nagoya Japanese Sweets Special Feature

Nagoya is full of shops selling savory Japanese sweets. And there's a reason; successive generations of lords from 400 years ago relished tea ceremony, and as tea is drunk with sweets, Japanese confectioneries became plentiful.
This special feature highlights top Japanese confectioners from those with roots back to the time of Nagoya's ancient lords to ones beloved by local Nagoyans.
Japanese sweets are known for their easy digestive properties and athletes even eat them as a source of energy before going out on the field. So, have some for yourself and spend a fun, energetic day touring Nagoya!
