How Rice Burger Zen Is Reimagining Japanese Flavours in London

What do you get when you cross a burger with Japanese tradition and a mission to reduce food waste? You get Rice Burger Zen, a fresh new street-food concept serving gourmet rice burgers in London.

Founded by Yuki and born from his onigiri shop ZenMusubi, Rice Burger Zen was created to repurpose leftover rice. "We didn't want to waste anything," Yuki shares. "So we found a fun, tasty way to transform it."

Their bestselling Chicken Katsu and Tofu Steak burgers combine miso, soy sauce, and teriyaki flavours with grilled rice "buns." One of their newest creations swaps out curry for a surprisingly satisfying tuna twist. "It sounds weird," Yuki laughs, "but it matches so well."

Even in Japan, rice burgers aren't common, but Londoners are loving them. "We wanted to create something new, something joyful," they say.

Looking for something different and delicious? Rice Burger Zen is serving up comfort, culture, and crispy goodness, one rice patty at a time.

👉 Catch them this May at events like the Shotengai Market in the Lower Stable Market, and Urban Garden Fair. Follow @riceburger.london or @zenmusubi.london for their full pop-up schedule.
