BRISK STAND, the gourmet burger shop known nationwide for its "Japanese-style burgers," is making its first foray into Miyako Island. A new location, "BRISKSTAND MIYAKOJIMA," opens on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at HOTEL LOCAL BASE, a popular resort complex surrounded by the rich natural scenery of Okinawa's Miyako Island. An island-limited burger made with Miyako Island ingredients will also be available.
Crowned Japan's number one at the "Japan Burger Championship 2025," BRISK STAND arrives in the Miyako Island area for the first time. Amid a beautiful sea and open island resort setting, the new location brings the brand's signature blend of Japanese craftsmanship and carefully selected ingredients to a new audience.
Background of the New Opening
BRISK STAND has championed what could be called "Japanese-style burgers," born from the belief in "offering food that is not just delicious, but also good for the body," pursuing an aesthetic of restraint that lets the quality of its ingredients speak for itself.
Miyako Island, where the new location opens, is one of Japan's leading beach resorts, drawing large numbers of visitors from Japan and abroad. Aiming to enrich the dining choices available during a stay on the island, BRISK STAND will offer a refreshing, satisfying food experience—rather than something junky—from a location where the island breeze feels especially pleasant.
About BRISKSTAND MIYAKOJIMA
BRISKSTAND MIYAKOJIMA opens inside HOTEL LOCAL BASE, a popular resort complex with easy access from central Miyako Island, surrounded by abundant nature and greenery. The grounds include private cottage-style hotel rooms and select shops, set within an open space where the island breeze flows comfortably through.
As a place that makes a stay or sightseeing trip on Miyako Island even more special, HOTEL LOCAL BASE's appeal—a lifestyle of unhurried time spent in nature—resonates with BRISK STAND's own "body-pleasing, Japanese-style burger" philosophy. Together, they aim to create a dining experience enjoyed with all five senses amid beautiful natural surroundings, with a menu built without compromise for a memorable trip or island moment.
Kitta-yatsu, the original signature item: The finished burger is cut in half lengthwise, and the cross-section of the whole-wheat bun, soaked in meat juices from 100% domestic beef, is seared a second time on a griddle—a one-of-a-kind signature menu item.
100% domestic beef patty: Made with no fillers and seasoned only with natural sea salt boiled over firewood for 15 hours, bringing out the beef's true flavor.
House-simmered onions: Carefully prepared over more than three days, these tender, sweet, Japanese-style onions are simmered slowly until soft, without refined oil.
Additive-free buns: Made with whole wheat flour and Yotsuba butter, without any shortening or margarine.

About BRISK STAND
BRISK STAND is a burger shop with its main location in Kobe. Its Japanese-inspired burgers stand as a distinctive presence in the burger world. After being selected for Tabelog's "Hyakumeiten" (Top 100 Restaurants) in 2024, the brand has been actively expanding nationwide.
In 2025, it won the "Japan Burger Championship 2025" (Bagachan), earning the title of Japan's number one gourmet burger. The team has also competed at the world championship held in Indianapolis, USA.
Notably, on the same day as the Miyako Island opening—Saturday, August 8, 2026—BRISK STAND is also grand opening "BRISK STAND MARINEPIA KOBE" inside a large resort outlet in Kobe, Hyogo. This marks a simultaneous dual expansion into two major resort areas on opposite ends of Japan: Kobe, the brand's birthplace, and Miyako Island, one of the country's leading beach resorts.
BRISK STAND currently operates 27 locations nationwide, including Sapporo; Asakusa, Kamakura, Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Omotesando, Kanda, Azabu-Juban, Suidobashi, Nakameguro, Ebisu, Ikebukuro Sunshine, Kitasenju, and Haneda Airport Garden in the Kanto region; Niigata; Okazaki, Nagoya Sakae, and Matsusaka in the Chubu region; its main Kobe store along with Umeda, Himeji, Kyoto, LaLaport Sakai, and Marinepia Kobe in the Kansai region; Tokushima; and Nago and Miyakojima in Okinawa (as of July 27, 2026).
The burgers use only additive-free buns made with whole wheat flour, containing no shortening or margarine. The satisfying patties are 100% domestic beef with no fillers, seasoned only with natural domestic salt.
The signature house-simmered onions are sweet and tender, creating perfect harmony with the juicy patties—the essence of the BRISK STAND flavor.
Among the many menu items, "Kitta-yatsu" stands out as the brand's specialty, made with a technique found nowhere else. The burger is cut vertically, and the cross-section is seared on a hot griddle a second time, allowing the patty and toppings to soak up the meat juices.
Lines often form before opening for this signature item. Its novel presentation, which makes guests want to take photos, combined with the texture and aroma of the cut surface, has earned widespread acclaim.
