EVILTEX is the last place you'd expect to find in Takayama—a slice of Texas dropped right into the middle of rural Japan. These aren't just burgers; they're massive, jaw-unhinging monuments to American comfort food that'll make you forget you're thousands of miles from Texas. Old-school country tunes play in the background, creating a surreal bubble of Americana in the heart of a traditional Japanese town.

In a place where most businesses shut down early, EVILTEX stands out as a beacon for night owls and hungry travelers. The owner clearly understands the art of the burger—these are the kind of massive, juicy creations that require both hands and a serious commitment to eating. It's the perfect culinary surprise in Takayama: a Tex-Mex oasis that feels like a roadside diner magically transported to rural Japan. Pro tip: Get there before 8 PM, and come hungry.
