On April 18, 2025, Burger King expanded its footprint in Japan by opening a new store in Aeon Mall Asahikawa Nishi, marking a significant milestone as it is the first Burger King location in Asahikawa. The iconic fast-food chain, which originated in 1954 in Miami, Florida, is celebrated for its customizable burgers, allowing customers to tailor their meals to their preferences.
The flagship item on the menu is the 'Whopper', a burger that boasts a size approximately 1.4 times larger than the average hamburger, featuring a bun diameter of 5 inches (about 13 cm). This hefty meal is not only visually impressive but also offers a juicy experience, thanks to the 100% beef patty cooked over a direct-fire broiler, a method that enhances its flavor and texture.
The new Aeon Mall Asahikawa Nishi outlet operates from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with the last order taken at 8:30 PM. It is closed in accordance with the mall's schedule. Customers can enjoy the convenience of touch-screen ordering, which facilitates easy customization by allowing them to add or remove ingredients as desired.
In addition to the Asahikawa location, another Burger King is set to open in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, on April 30, 2025, at 9:00 AM. This outlet will be conveniently located just a 36-second walk from Aomono-yokochō Station, at the site of the former 'Kimuraya' bakery. This new store is also expected to attract a significant number of customers eager to experience Burger King's renowned offerings.
The 'Whopper Cheese', a popular menu item at the Shinagawa location, is priced at 690 yen for a single item and 990 yen for a set that includes medium French fries and a medium drink. The kids' menu features options such as the 'Cheese Burger Kids Set', 'Hamburger Kids Set', and 'Chicken Nuggets Kids Set', each priced at 440 yen, which also comes with small French fries and a small drink.
With its unique direct-fire grilling method and a commitment to quality, Burger King continues to make a name for itself in Japan's competitive fast-food landscape. The opening of these two new locations highlights the brand's growth and its appeal to local consumers. As the fast-food chain expands, it remains dedicated to delivering a satisfying dining experience that caters to the tastes of its customers.
