# Deconstructed Cheeseburger Bowls Matsuya's New Cheese Burger Don is Like a Burger in a Bowl By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2024-11-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-burger-don References: [soranews24](https://soranews24.com/2024/11/16/cheeseburger-rice-bowls-arrive-at-japanese-beef-bowl-chain-matsuya-and-in-our-stomach%e3%80%90taste-test%e3%80%91/)  The Japanese beef bowl chain Matsuya just unveiled the unexpected new [Cheese Burger Don](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-skirt-burger). In a mashup of Eastern and Western flavors, the new Cheese Burger Don combines the beloved Japanese beef bowl dish gyudon with all the elements of a [classic American cheeseburger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-west-burgers). Available since November 12, the new Cheese Burger Don dish features a hamburger patty, cheese, veggies, mayo, tomato sauce, and a fried egg, all served in a big bowl. In other words, it's like a [deconstructed cheeseburger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enchilada-bowl), minus the bun. While this might sound simple, the hamburger's tender texture and the use of a tart tomato sauce instead of ketchup make this beef bowl a standout. The new Cheese Burger Don is available from participating Matsuya locations for a limited time.
