Kiwamiya is a hamburg (ハンバーグ, Hanbāgu, Hamburger steak) shop like no other, specializing in bringing out the umami (旨味, Savoriness) of high-quality meats, you will always find a snaking queue of locals outside all of their branches.

Unlike most hamburg shops that serve it fully cooked, at Kiwamiya, the hamburg comes half-cooked where you will finish the meat off on the hot grill yourself to your desired doneness. Kiwamiya uses only Kyushu (九州, Kyūshū)-produced kuroge wagyu (黒毛和牛, Kuroge Wagyū) called Imari Beef from Saga Prefecture (佐賀県, Saga-ken), buying it directly from farmers every single week for the freshest quality. They also offer halal-certified beef as an option for Muslim customers.

Kiwamiya Shibuya's Unique Points (こだわり, Kodawari)

Kiwamiya's mantra is that they are "serious about meat", which is an "unchanging principle since the founding of the company", and that "this focus and dedication will always live within their food". Through providing delicious foods, they hope to bring about smiles on their customers faces.

Kiwamiya believes in using the highest-quality locally-sourced ingredients, and as a shop originating in Fukuoka has worked to build a strong relation with local farmers in the neighboring Saga Prefecture (佐賀県, Saga-ken). As they continue to work with the high-quality Imari Beef, kuroge wagyu (黒毛和牛, Kuroge Wagyū), they continue to learn and experiment in order to bring about even more delicious dishes. Rice is freshly delivered twice a week from farmers in Kawasoe, Saga Prefecture, which is freshly milled right before it is delivered.

The Kiwamiya Hamburg Steak uses a unique blend of kuroge wagyu (黒毛和牛, Kuroge Wagyū) and local Japanese beef, and unlike many other hamburgs, use the bare minimum amount of tamanegi (玉ねぎ, Onion) in order to preserve a steak-like texture. The meat is half-cooked before serving, allowing you to finish it off on a hot plate and eat it with your preferred set of condiments.
