Sasebo itself is a city steeped in history and cultural diversity. Located in the northwestern part of Kyushu, it has been a significant port since the late 19th century. Initially established as a major port for the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1866, Sasebo later became an American naval base in 1945.
American service members stationed there brought with them a craving for familiar foods from home, including hamburgers. . Local entrepreneurs quickly adapted to meet this demand, learning to make burgers that would satisfy the American palate
One of the earliest burger joints in Sasebo, Hikari, started selling burgers to American soldiers in the early 1950s. Over the years, these burgers have evolved, incorporating local ingredients and flavors, but they still retain the essence of their American origins.
The star of the show at Big Man is undoubtedly their Original Bacon & Egg Burger. This special burger features a juicy and tender beef patty that is cooked to perfection. The beef is incredibly flavorful, with a perfect balance of seasoning that enhances its natural taste.
The burger is topped with their signature homemade bacon, which adds a delightful smoky flavor, and a perfectly fried egg that brings a rich, creamy texture to each bite.
For those traveling to the popular theme park Huis Ten Bosch, i strongly recommend Sasebo Burger Big Man Kamikyomachi Main Store as a pit stop.
