Jones Dairy Farm Celebrates in Tokyo at Lil Woody’s

On October 30, 2024, the Jones Dairy Farm team and friends celebrated the flavors of Wisconsin and Seatlle at Lil Woody’s in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. True to its slogan “Just like breakfast—or any other meal—some things are better when you’re together,” the event was an opportunity to eat good food, continue tradition and build community.
While the Jones family has been a deep-seated part of the Fort Atkinson community since 1832, Jones Dairy Farm is continuing to build its community in Japan.

Lil Woody’s Signature Burgers

The classic Lil Woody’s quarter-pound burger was on the menu, featuring a mouthwatering grass-fed beef patty and, of course, crispy strips of Jones Dairy Farm Bacon. Topped with Oregon cheddar cheese, diced onions, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, and mayonnaise, these burgers are nothing short of an American culinary delight. Complementing the burgers were crispy deep-fried cheese curd bites.

Bourbon Bacon Vanilla Shake

Although it sounds unusual to the Japanese palate, the bourbon bacon vanilla shake is another delicious Lil Woody’s speciality. The balance of crispy bacon bits and sweet creamy vanilla makes for an addictive treat.

Lil Woody’s: A Seattle Staple

Lil Woody’s Burgers & Shakes, a beloved burger joint from Seattle, has made its mark in Tokyo since opening its Shibuya location in August 2023. Known for its hearty hamburgers made with high-quality ingredients sourced from the U.S., the restaurant has quickly become a go-to destination for burger enthusiasts in Japan.
With a presence in T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners, Lil Woody’s also carries a vibrant atmosphere, often collaborating with local musicians and artists, further enriching its cultural impact.
