The dishes have rich and diverse flavors. The Yuzu Kosho Chicken burger has a refreshing yuzu fragrance, while the beef burger is savory and pairs smoothly with avocado. The Uji matcha milkshake has a distinct tea flavor, and the cheese fries are salty and delicious but slightly greasy.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed and pleasant, attracting quite a few foreign diners.

This time we came to SHAKE SHACK at Shijo Karasuma, Kyoto, which is one of the places I specifically wanted to eat during this trip to Japan. There's currently no branch in Taiwan, so if you want to eat it, you can only come to Japan or other countries. There were quite a few foreigners dining in the restaurant, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed.
We ordered the following dishes:
Yuzu Kosho Chicken ¥960
CHS Fries (Cheese Fries) ¥630
Yuzu Honey Lemonade ¥570
Uji Matcha Shake ¥850
SHACK Cheese Patty (additional cheese hamburger patty) ¥920
Avocado (extra avocado) ¥180
Total ¥5,577.
The Yuzu Kosho Chicken burger has a yuzu fragrance, paired with mildly spicy yuzu pepper, the outer layer is crispy, and the texture is nice. The beef hamburger patty is rich in meat flavor, and the melted cheese adds to its richness. I also added an extra slice of avocado, which made the texture smoother and gave a fresh oily sensation that rounded out the overall flavor without being greasy. The Uji Matcha Shake has a more prominent tea flavor than expected; it has a rich milk taste but does not overshadow the matcha aroma. The fries with cheese sauce are rich in flavor, savory and bold, but can feel a bit greasy if eaten in large quantities.
Overall, I felt good after eating. Although the prices are a bit high and the flavors tend toward the heavier side, the flavors and textures are of a high standard, making it worth a try. I would visit again.
