ISLET
Hamburger · Sasebo-style burger¥100–¥1,400
Five minutes from Nakano Station's south exit. ISLET takes its name from the owner's own surname, 小島 (Kojima) — a 'small island.'
We don't take reservations — it's first-come, first-served. We're a small shop (3 counter seats, 12 at tables), so there may be a short wait at peak times.
Cash and QR-code payment are accepted. Credit cards and electronic money are not accepted.
The Sasebo Burger — a juicy Japanese-beef patty with a soft-set egg, cheddar and bacon. Getting the egg exactly right, neither too runny nor too firm, is what makes it a taste only this shop can give you.
Everything on the menu is available for takeout, and we're on delivery (chompy) as well.
About a 5-minute walk (431 m) from the south exit of JR Nakano Station, along Okubo-dori. There's a bus stop right in front of the shop.

Kojima = a small island
"I've always had a real yearning for New York — a Brooklyn-suburb shop that's been run since a grandfather's day. History, with something new inside it."
— Kojima, the owner
