{{nihongo|'''First Kitchen'''|ファーストキッチン|Fāsuto Kitchin}} is a Japanese [[fast food]] restaurant chain operated by First Kitchen Co., Ltd., a [[wholly owned subsidiary]] of [[Wendy's International]]. Prior to June 2016, it was a subsidiary of [[Suntory]] Holdings.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Its first shop opened in [[Ikebukuro]], Tokyo in September 1977. Currently, its stores operate in 14 prefectures, in the [[Kantō]], [[Chūbu region|Chūbu]], and [[Kinki region|Kinki]] regions. Of the 136 stores, about 100 exist in Kantō as of June 1, 2016. The chain was acquired by [[The Wendy's Company|Wendy's Japan]] from Suntory Holdings on June 1, 2016, and now operates under the name '''Wendy's First Kitchen''' as a result of its acquisition.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/franchisee-wendys-japan-to-acquire-first-kitchen-with-136-restaurants-300277624.html |title=Franchisee Wendy's Japan To Acquire First Kitchen With 136 Restaurants |publisher=The Wendy's Company|website=Cision PR Newswire |date=June 1, 2016 |access-date=February 25, 2018}}</ref><br />

==Menu==<br />
The staple menu since its founding has been Bacon Egg Burger. While originally a [[hamburger]] restaurant, the company began to expand its menu in 1996 in a move to differentiate itself from its competitors. Currently, the restaurant also serves pizza, pasta, and fried chicken. This restaurant is noteworthy for its flavored French fries, called "Flavor Potato".<br />
<br />
==Abbreviation issue==<br />
Colloquially, the restaurant is frequently abbreviated as {{nihongo|'''Fakkin'''|ファッキン}}.<ref>"'Joshikōsei-go' wakaru?" [[Mainichi Shimbun]] May 15, 2004</ref> However, the company neither uses this abbreviation nor approves of its use because of its similarity to the pronunciation of "[[fuck|fucking]]", a vulgarity in English; instead choosing to emphasize the abbreviation {{nihongo|'''FK'''|エフケイ|Efukei}}. In 2005, a redesigned logo that emphasized the letters "FK" was introduced.<br />
