Azabudai Hills – Bright Space and Unforgettable Burgers
In the heart of Tokyo, Azabudai Hills offers more than just sleek architecture and luxury shopping—it also provides an atmosphere where dining becomes part of the experience. Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows of a restaurant here, I was immediately struck by the sense of brightness and serenity. Sunlight poured across the wooden tables, the clean steel walkways outside framed the view with a modern elegance, while touches of greenery softened the cityscape. It felt both metropolitan and calming, almost like sitting inside a scene from a design magazine.
But the real highlight came with the food. I tried their foie gras burger, which was rich, indulgent, and perfectly balanced. The buttery foie gras melted into the juicy patty, creating layers of flavor that were decadent yet surprisingly harmonious. Even better was the limited wagyu burger—a seasonal specialty that truly showcased the depth of Japanese beef. The wagyu patty was incredibly tender and juicy, bursting with flavor in every bite, elevated further by the light sear and carefully chosen toppings. It was one of those burgers that stays in your memory long after the meal is over.
On the table, small details like neatly arranged condiments and cutlery reflected the same sense of order and care found throughout the space. While the menu impressed, it was the combination of bright surroundings and refined flavors that made the experience remarkable.
Azabudai Hills proves that dining can be more than just eating—it can be a pause in the middle of the city, a moment of calm, and a chance to savor something truly special. Between the clear, light-filled atmosphere and standout dishes like the foie gras and wagyu burgers, it’s a place I would happily return to and recommend to anyone...
Read moreWalloped very flavourful burgers here after an energetic morning at teamLab Borderless. After burning loads of calories exploring the sprawling space, we needed a proper refuel before proceeding to do the same at teamLab Planet which we had booked to enter at 3.30pm. This place more than did the job. Ordering is done on a large touchscreen by the entrance, and it is easy-peasy as instructions are clear. I picked the Cheese Burger (1,380¥) and added grilled onion (200¥ for a thick cross-section slice) and jalapeños (180¥). These enhanced the already very tasty 100% Japanese Wagyu patties (the beef is coarsely ground, so they deliver a superb mouthfeel) with juiciness and a kick of heat. Admittedly, holding everything together between the buns was a tad tricky, so there was some inevitable messiness. My husband chose the Bacon Cheese Egg Onion Burger (2,280¥) and added an egg. He gave it a thumbs-up. In fact, that was all he could do given how busy he was stuffing it into his face. We shared the Dipped Fries (1,180¥) which our friend ordered. Basically it’s a heap of crispy fries blanketed in three sauces including a chilli con carne and a basil one. Really addictive this was. This place is obviously a burger joint for grown-ups because the drinks list includes Shogun Beer, Lemon Sour and Whisky Highball apart from the usual soft drinks and coffee. The only negative thing is that it can get smoky in here from the grilling of the patties, so be prepared for some of the smell to get into your hair...
