You’ll find the classic green logo of Freshness Burger just about anywhere in Japan. Serving up more than just burgers, it’s a must-visit!
Headquartered in Tokyo with establishments all over Japan, Freshness Burger is a local favorite that offers a more classy atmosphere than standard fast-food restaurants.
Freshness Burger – Kokura
Okay, admittedly this particular Freshness Burger branch next to Kokura Castle didn’t sport the usual green logo at the shop front.
Instead, it took on a more modern design, likely to appeal to tourists and maintain the sleek look of the surrounding architecture.
As you walk along Kokura’s Riverwalk, you’ll find a few restaurants and cafes including Starbucks, Komeda’s Coffee, and of course, Freshness Burger.
You’d be surprised to know that Freshness Burger is just as much a cafe as it is a restaurant, serving up coffees, teas, crêpes, and gelato.
Delicious Burgers & Great Presentation
I’ve noticed a common trend with Japanese burger shops whereby the presentation is always superb.
The aesthetics of the burger is always prioritized and you’ll find they tend to look a lot closer to their poster ads than McDonald’s or Burger King.
Once you make your order, the staff will bring out your tray of food along with a complimentary cup of cold water that can be refilled on demand.
Choices of burgers are vast, including classic beef burgers, grilled or fried chicken burgers, seafood burgers, and veggie burgers.
A Fantastic Workspace
As a freelance writer, I am always on the lookout for places that offer free Wi-Fi, good workspaces, and most importantly, coffee! Here at Freshness Burger, you get the holy trinity that makes a fantastic workspace for remote workers.
Awesome Outdoor Space
Freshness Burger truly masters the restaurant x cafe vibe, making it one of the few places that draw in hungry citizens as well as cafe connoisseurs. This particular branch near Kokura Castle offers a wonderful outdoor dining area, making it a great choice to enjoy a coffee with a friend.
Of course, if you are planning to visit Japan, you’ll need a way to get around the country as efficiently and affordably as possible. Japan Rail provides an abundance of travel passes to suit your travel needs. So whether you are traveling individually or as a group, the JR Pass is every traveler’s go-to for getting around and making the most of your time in Japan!
