Our Passion

Welcome to HAMBURG THE BUTLER in Higashi, Okinawa City.
We opened with one simple wish: to serve a truly great hamburg steak.
A butler serves, and so do we. We serve the meat first: ground every morning, shaped by hand, and cooked only after you order. Doing these small things right, every day, is our promise to you.
Our goal is to become the hamburg steak place that people in Okinawa are proud to recommend.

Our two signatures are the Signature Hamburg Steak, made with beef and pork in our own "golden ratio," and the 100% Beef Hamburg Steak, blended with Okinawan black wagyu.
Our meat is chosen by a seasoned expert at a wholesale butcher we have worked with for years, picking what is in the best condition that day.
Every morning we grind it in our own kitchen and shape each patty by hand, locking in freshness and flavor.

Every hamburg steak starts on a sizzling hot iron plate, where we give it a deep, savory sear. Then it goes into our steam-convection oven for about 15 minutes, so it comes out plump and juicy.
The seared crust brings out the flavor of the meat, while the juices stay sealed inside and concentrate its richness.
It arrives at your table still sizzling on the iron plate.
*Charcoal and wood-fire grilling is coming back soon.

If you love a melt-in-your-mouth texture, try our Melty Cheese Hamburg Steak, generously topped with cheese.
Mozzarella melts over the top, and our hot house-made cheese sauce is poured right at your table. The sizzle of the iron plate, the rising aroma, a dish finished before your eyes: this is a hamburg steak you enjoy with all five senses.

Our sauces are more than seasoning. They are the finishing touch that turns our hamburg steak into a dish you will remember.
Shaliapin sauce rich with sautéed onion, fragrant garlic sauce, refreshing horseradish, our spicy Jackie sauce that you won't forget once you try it, and a creamy cheese sauce made with island cheese.
Every one of them is made by hand in our kitchen, so that you will want to come back again.
