The hearty patties are 100% domestic beef with no fillers, finished only with domestic natural salt. The key to the flavor is the homemade stewed onions, which have a sweet and melty taste. They pair perfectly with the juicy patties, creating the signature 'This is BRISK STAND' flavor. Among the many menu items, the 'Kitta Yatsu' (The Cut One), made with a unique method, is BRISK STAND's specialty. The hamburger is cut vertically, and the cut surface is grilled a second time on a hot iron plate, allowing the patty and ingredients to fully absorb the meat juices. People sometimes line up for 'The Cut One' before the store opens. Its novel appearance, which makes you want to take a picture, and the texture and aroma of the cut surface are highly praised.
