What is BIKKURI DONKEY Hamburger Restaurant?

BIKKURI DONKEY is a hamburger restaurant operated by Aleph Corporation in various parts of Japan, and its origins date back 56 years ago to December 1968, when the hamburger and salad restaurant "Belle" was established in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture. Four years later, in 1972, the Belle Odori store was opened, and the staff began to design the interior of each store by themselves. Also, around this time, the main product of the restaurant was shifted from hamburgers to a hamburger steak lunch served on a plate, which became the prototype for the now-familiar dish menu. These efforts have been passed on to BIKKURI DONKEY's unique "creative restaurant development" that continues to this day.
