pas a pas (pasa pa) ~ A hamburger loved in Mabi that you want to eat again and again.

pas a pas(ぱさぱ) ~ 何度でも食べたくなる、真備町で愛されるハンバーグ

Did you know there is a hamburger restaurant that people of all ages love, located in Mabi?

At "Hamburger Restaurant pas a pas," you can feel the attention to detail even in the side vegetables.

The restaurant suffered flooding damage during the heavy rain in July 2018 and was closed for five months.

On December 1 of the same year, the restaurant reopened after renovating the same location in Mabi.

I spoke with the Iwata couple about the delicious appeal of their hamburgers and their feelings leading up to the reopening.

About "Western-style Restaurant pas a pas" before the heavy rain in July 2018

Mr. Iwata, originally from Mabi, opened his own restaurant in Okayama City at the age of 24 and operated a Western-style restaurant for nearly ten years.

He then returned to his hometown of Mabi and opened "Western-style Restaurant pas a pas" on December 16, 2009.

Four types of hamburgers to choose from

As the name "Hamburger Restaurant pas a pas" suggests, the menu consists only of hamburger lunch sets.
In March 2019, there were four types of hamburger menus available.

Each set comes with rice, salad, soup, and coffee or tea (straight) for a total of 1,400 yen (tax included).

  • Simmered Hamburger
  • Demiglace Sauce Hamburger
  • Japanese-style Grated Hamburger
  • Cheese Baked Hamburger

An extra large serving of rice is an additional 100 yen (tax included).

If you want something light, try the Japanese-style grated hamburger. On cold days, the hot simmered hamburger is perfect.

All of them are exquisite hamburgers crafted with the owner's dedication!
