Royal Group's Expansion with Innovative Dining Concepts

On July 7, 2026, the Royal Group will unveil two exciting dining options at JR Ochanomizu Station’s Ekiute Edition. The new establishments, Onidon—a specialty restaurant focusing on onigiri and tempura—along with JB's TOKYO, known for its 100% handmade craft burgers, promise to elevate the culinary experience for both locals and travelers.

Vision for Growth: A Look into Royal Group

Royal Group's growth ambitions are guided by their management vision for 2035, which emphasizes creating new value through diverse customer interactions and sustained growth in hospitality. Their contract services division aims to enhance its development capabilities and create new and innovative dining spaces within high-traffic locations, such as airports and service areas. The introduction of Onidon and JB's TOKYO represents a significant step in diversifying the Royal Group's brand portfolio, focusing on fast-casual dining in compact spaces of around 50 square meters.

Through a strategic partnership with Bruce & Brothers Corporation, led by producer Bruce Sato, Royal Group combines its operational expertise and extensive resources with B&B's creative prowess and strong development capabilities. This collaboration not only enables innovation but also aims to enhance customer satisfaction, ensuring a robust joint venture in the fast-casual segment.

Discover Onidon: A New Twist on a Classic

Onidon takes the traditional Japanese culinary experience of tempura and reshapes it into a modern offering. Drawing inspiration from tempura—a staple of Japanese cuisine—Onidon transforms this classic dish into a portable delight known as “tempura musubi.” This innovation aims to attract a wider clientele by providing quick, high-quality meals for various occasions and dining preferences.

Freshly Prepared Tempura and Onigiri

The concept of Onidon is deeply rooted in the kitchen staff's traditional preparations at Tempura Tenya establishments. With years of experience in creating delicious and efficient tempura, Onidon offers a live cooking experience, delivering hot tempura and freshly shaped onigiri seamlessly. This guarantees that every guest receives their orders with flair and freshness, embodying the essence of culinary craftsmanship.

Satisfying One-Dish Meal

Onidon promises a fulfilling dining experience with its “One Soup, One Rice” offer, that brings together the convenience of a portable onigiri with a hearty, rich pork miso soup. This pairing not only provides a quick meal but also warms the heart, ensuring that each visitor departs satisfied.

Versatile and Unique Fast-Casual Positioning

Onidon is designed to cater to a diverse array of patrons, from solo female diners to busy professionals and tourists. It provides flexible options for quick eats during commutes or leisurely take-outs, maintaining high standards for both dine-in and take-out services. By creating a unique niche within the fast-casual dining landscape, Onidon aims to reach customers beyond traditional lunch hours.

JB's TOKYO: Crafting Unique Burger Experiences

JB's TOKYO is redefining the fast-food burger industry with its commitment to offering 100% handmade gourmet burgers. Since its inception in 2021, JB's has garnered a significant following, particularly on social media, and has been featured on the esteemed Tabelog's list of top burger spots. Bruce Sato’s vision of making burgers as accessible as onigiri resonates throughout the establishment, where homemade quality meets comforting familiarity.

Currently, JB's TOKYO operates six locations nationwide, with the seventh opening at Ochanomizu's Ekiute Edition. Plans are also underway for additional openings by the end of the year, showcasing growth momentum for this craft burger brand.

With its innovative spirit and a business model focused on the fusion of Royal Group’s operational strengths and B&B’s brand-building expertise, JB's is well poised to become a beloved option for many.
