About this place
Tucked into the side streets of Higashi-Ueno, Keep & Touch is an inviting spot to recharge with hearty American diner fare. The burger lineup is anchored by a satisfying 200g beef patty tucked into a toasted bun—a classic profile that calls for an ice-cold cola. Variations such as cheeseburgers and teriyaki chicken burgers provide plenty of choices depending on what you are craving.
Meat dishes extend well beyond burgers, drawing patrons for sizzling hamburger steaks and sirloin steaks. Steaks are sometimes served with a zesty garlic-infused Cajun sauce, adding an aromatic kick that makes short work of a bowl of rice. For rice-based mains, the kitchen offers colourful taco rice topped with fresh tomatoes and onions, as well as a rich and creamy Cajun cream rice.
Side dishes like Cobb salad, onion soup, and fish and chips make it easy to assemble a spread for sharing across the table. Lunchtime brings reasonably priced set meals, while evenings invite lingering over beer, chuhai sours, and highballs. With unpretentious hospitality and a relaxed ambience, it is an easygoing address whether you are stopping by for a solo lunch or gathering with friends.
