Would you like to organize a trip in Kyushu that includes "Old Town Shopping + Popular Food"? Bite into it like a wagyu! BRISK STAND, the famous burger restaurant that won the Japanese championship, has finally landed in Kyushu, opening a new restaurant, BRISKSTAND HITA MAMEDA, in Hita City, Oita Prefecture.

Soya-cho retains a strong Edo period flavor, with many merchants and townspeople, and is a historical district that many people must visit when they go sightseeing in Nitta. The brand also hopes to put the concept of "making burgers as Japanese food" into this street with a sense of Japan's original scenery, so that you can deepen your travel memories directly with a burger on your walk.

Why did it win the "Nippon No. 1" award? Started in Kobe and expanded all over the country.

Brisco Burger, with its headquarters in Kobe, has become a unique presence in the burger scene with its "burgers with a sense of harmony". The brand was selected as one of Tabelog's Top 100 Restaurants (食べログ百名店) in 2024 and won the Japan Burger Championship (バガチャン) in 2025, winning the "Japan One" title; the brand has also traveled to the United States to participate in the World Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Currently, there are 24 branches throughout Japan (as of 2026/2/6), covering Hokkaido, Kanto, Koshinetsu, Chubu, Kansai, Shikoku, and Okinawa. In other words, it is not just a theme store that is popular for a while, but a brand system that has made its style and quality reproducible.

What's so great about the must-try: cut-and-fry burger (切ったやつ)?

If you've seen the photos, you'll be intrigued by the "cutaway" - Brisker Burger's most iconic specialty is the cutaway burger (切ったやつ). The burger is sliced in half lengthwise, then placed on a hot iron plate and fried again, allowing the juices and toppings to be "sucked back" into the bun and filling.

The focus is not just on the shot, but on the texture: the cut side is then fried to give it an extra layer of flavor and a slightly crispy texture, and the bite retains both the juiciness and the charred flavor, which makes it a more three-dimensional burger to eat. First-time eaters are usually impressed by the texture, which is different from other burgers.

Ingredients are also very important: whole grain flour no additives bread + 100% domestic steak

In addition to the special recipe, the brand also puts "peace of mind" into the design: the bread is made with additive-free bread containing whole grain flour, and shortening and margarine are not used at all. The beef steak is made from 100% domestic beef, with no added adhesive (Tsunaginashi), and seasoned only with domestic natural salt, allowing the meat's flavor to come right out on stage.

In addition, the house-made stewed onion sauce is the soul of the whole flavor: sweet, soft, and a little thick, which goes well with the steak's gravy-heavy texture, and is one of the recognizable sources of "This is Brisket".

What is the best way to organize? Suggested itinerary for Sanda-cho Sansaku + Hamburger Lunch

Douda-cho is a place where you can take your time: old houses, streets, and small stores are all worth stopping to look at. It is recommended to arrange the stores in the "middle" or "end" of the walk: take photos of the street, buy something small, and then replenish your energy with a burger; if you come across a discounted period for a trial run, you can even make it one of the highlights of the day.

Conclusion: Remember Nitta with a Champion Burger in Edo's Old Town!

The first restaurant in Kyushu, Nitta Soudan, puts the "Wagyu Sense Burger" into the Edo-style street, and the contrast of traveling is strong: on one side is the old street scene, and on the other side is the new-generation champion burger. If you want a signature burger, just order it sliced and fried; those who care about the ingredients will also love the clean detailing of the bun and beef. If you happen to be in Kyushu in February 2026, make it a day in Nitta, and give this little trip one more flavor that you'll look back on for a long time.
