Most
meat shops in Japan sell beef and pork that have been ground together.
This mixture results in a richer blend of flavors and juicier, tastier
dishes. Even if you can't buy the preblended kind, you can create your
own by mixing the two types together. Of course, hanbagu can
be made just with ground beef; use the combination that tastes best!

The
Japanese word for hamburger is hanbagu, which usually means a
patty of ground beef that's served on a plate--not in a bun. It's more
like Salisbury steak or meatloaf than the hamburgers sold at fast-food
shops. In most homes and restaurants across Japan, bread, eggs, minced
onions, and seasoning are added to the ground beef, and sometimes ground
pork is used in addition to or instead of beef.
