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.
