The Essence of BRISK STAND

Founded in Kobe, BRISK STAND has cultivated a reputation for its one-of-a-kind Japanese-style burgers, which have garnered national acclaim. In 2024, the company was selected as one of the top eateries on Tabelog, a major dining review platform in Japan, propelling its expansion across the country. By 2025, they were crowned champions at the Japan Burger Championship, further solidifying their status as the pioneers of Japanese burgers.

Their ingredients are sourced with immense care, using only additive-free whole wheat buns without shortening or margarine. The patties are crafted using 100% domestic beef, seasoned with only natural salt to bring out the meat's natural flavor.

But what makes BRISK STAND particularly special is their signature item, the 'Cut Burger.' This mouthwatering creation boasts a unique preparation method where the burger is cut vertically and grilled on a hot plate, allowing the juices from the patty and fillings to be absorbed fully. This innovative dish often attracts lines before opening, capturing the attention of burger enthusiasts eager for a bite of its delectable taste and eye-catching presentation.

For those interested in experiencing this culinary phenomenon, BRISK STAND's two new locations in Tokyo are poised to offer an unforgettable dining adventure. Explore their offerings and delve into a unique fusion of flavors that only BRISK STAND can provide.
