Captain Kangaroo Hamburgers


Captain Kangaroo

We will introduce a hamburger café!  It’s the only café which specializes in hamburgers in Nago.

It’s “Captain Kangaroo”!!
 

 
Grand Prix

What is this?” we thought when we heard the word for the first time.  At Nakijin Beach Rock Village, there was a competition to make the best hamburger.  At that time, Captain Kangaroo made a BBQ hamburger.  Then, they won the championship.  This is proof that Captain Kangaroo’s hamburger is very delicious.  Why don’t you try to eat Captain Kangaroo’s hamburger?

Outside

The café looks like a house, but it is actually a famous hamburger shop.  Outside the café, there is a signboard with a kangaroo on it.  We can see the very beautiful sea near the café.



Inside

This café has a homey and casual atmosphere.  There are counter tables and café tables with soft sofas.  We can sit on a sofa in a relaxed way.  And we can see the very beautiful ocean from the café.  It must be special to eat hamburgers with such a nice view.  The Western atmosphere was good and relaxing.



History

Captain Kangaroo came to Nago in 2007.  The main store is in Osaka and it was established in 1997.  The main store was a bar at first and the shop keeper wanted to make a hamburger shop in Okinawa on the 10th anniversary of the café’s foundation. Captain Kangaroo had a few costumers at first, but now, it is becoming the famous hamburger café in Nago by word of mouth and magazines!

Staff

We met good workers here.  They are very friendly and cheerful, so they make us happy. There are about ten people in Captain Kangaroo, and four people work on weekdays and five people work on weekends.  Their smiles makes the hamburgers more delicious.  Of course, they love hamburgers very much too!

Customers

Many foreigners come to Captain Kangaroo.  American soldiers often come there so the employees have a service manual in English.  When foreigners come, the employees use it so they have no problem using English.  The time the shop is crowded is 12:00-15:00.  Holidays and vacations are crowded too.  After  holidays, they have more free time.

Menu

Captain Kangaroo has 11 menu items, and sometimes limited seasonal items. Most things cost about 700~1,000 yen.

Now, we will introduce the menu we ate to you.


Special burger  (By Nana)

This is a big hamburger! The tomato, lettuce, cheese and meat are very delicious.  When I ate this, the cheese had melted. I was full. If you eat this, you’ll be happy! 

 
Teriyaki burger  (By Ai T.)

The teriyaki sauce is really creamy and the meat is very tender.  I couldn’t stop eating it.  I drank mango juice.  It makes you feel happy and you may feel refreshed!  And also the French fries are so delicious.  You can choose a set or a la carte. 

Teriyaki chicken burger  (By Ai N.)

 If you like chicken more than beef or pork, you should eat it!  Mayonnaise, sauce, crispy buns, fresh and sweet vegetables and juicy chicken make fantastic harmony!  I’m sure that the burger will make you smile and feel happy when you eat it. 

Ume to shiso no wahu chicken burger  (By Natsumi)

It’s a chicken burger with Japanese apricot and shiso, so it is a Japanese-style hamburger. The sour Japanese apricot and juicy chicken makes a good taste!  It is healthier than other hamburgers, so you can enjoy it if you worry about your weight.  I want you to try this one! 

BBQ burger  (By Mitsuki)

There were beef, lettuce, cheese, onions, tomato and BBQ sauce in the hamburger.  The vegetables were fresh and the taste was good, too.  

Tacorice  (By Eri)

Tacorice is made with Taco materials, and uses rice instead of a tortilla.  It’s a traditional food of Okinawa. And there are a lot of kinds of Tacorice in Okinawa!!  I ordered Tacorice at Captain Kangaroo because I like Tacorice very much!  There were avocados on the Tacorice.  So, you can try different types of Tacorice there!  It’s very delicious!  It looks expensive, but it’s not so expensive.  I think you should try to eat it!! 

Captain Kangaroo Mini

By the way, do you know “Captain Kangaroo Mini”?  This is a different shop with a lot of mini hamburgers.  In 2013, Captain Kangaroo Mini was built on the same road as Pan de Kaito and Sakura Bakery.  The food is not fresh from the kitchen but the taste is so good and can’t be boring.  It uses different types of bread and the burgers are smaller than Captain Kangaroo’s.  You should go there and check out the taste!
