Fake reviews removed

A hidden gem in Yanagawa that started as a coffee shop in 1980 and transformed into a hamburg steak specialist in 2004. The signature dish is 100% fresh beef hamburg with no filler, with doneness selectable from rare to well-done. Lunch hours only (11:00-15:00) but queues form daily. Selected for Tabelog Western Cuisine WEST Top 100 2025 and 2023 two years in a row. Yahoo Maps rating 4.41. Many visitors come from afar on weekends.

Tabelog 3.67/157 reviews, 5,394 saves, Yahoo Maps 4.41. Many repeat-visit posts such as 'my 3rd time at Saffron.' Reviews say 'When in Yanagawa, this hamburg is a must alongside unagi,' 'Can't believe a filler-free hamburg at this price,' 'Constant stream of customers.' Lunch-only short hours with queues at noon. No sakura or PR signs.
