Bikkuri Donkey is a popular Japanese family restaurant chain operated by Aleph Inc., known for its signature “hamburg steak” dishes—juicy ground meat patties served with rice, salad, and rich sauces instead of a bun. The brand traces its origins to a small hamburger shop called “Bell,” founded in 1968 in Morioka, Japan, before evolving into the first Bikkuri Donkey restaurant in Sapporo in 1980 and expanding nationwide through franchising. Today, it has hundreds of locations across Japan and is beloved for its quirky rustic interiors, generous portions, and affordable, family-friendly dining experience. Beyond its menu, Aleph has emphasized sustainability by integrating agriculture, food production, and recycling initiatives—such as using low-pesticide rice, reducing waste, and promoting environmentally responsible practices—making Bikkuri Donkey not only a distinctive dining concept but also part of a broader “total food industry” vision in Japan.
