When you think of Hokkaido gourmet food, many things come to mind, but recently, pork bowl has also been added to the lineup. Pork bowl is a specialty of Obihiro. Among the many popular restaurants, we will introduce "Butadon no Ton-da." It was originally a butcher shop that specialized in pork bowls, so you can't go wrong with this one.
Come to the store with high expectations!
Those who visit Ton-ta for the first time will likely have a difficult time choosing from the menu. This is because there are three types of basic pork bowls: "Loin Pork Bowl," "Belly Pork Bowl," and "Tenderloin Pork Bowl." And all of them cost 790 yen including tax. Regular customers apparently know which cuts they like, but if you're not used to it, it can be difficult to choose.
At times like these, we recommend the "Loin and Belly Platter" for 940 yen including tax.
This is a truly luxurious dish that allows you to enjoy both loin and belly. It was originally created as a complimentary item in response to customer requests, but it became so popular that it was promoted to a regular menu item.
As you can see from the photo, all Ton-da pork bowls come with miso soup and pickles. Another great feature is that it comes with a pot of sauce. It's great to be able to pour as much of Ton-da's special sweet sauce over the rice as you like.
Ton-da was originally a butcher shop, and all the raw pork from Tokachi is hand-cut and prepared. They say they sometimes use a total of 100 kg in one day, and they prepare it all by hand the day before. Just imagining it is a lot of work, but the spirit of their predecessor, "Instead of selling pork bowls, sell time and effort," still lives on in the hearts of their employees.
This dedication to meat is what makes Ton-da's pork bowl so delicious. The restaurant moved to its current location in 2017 because its previous location had become too small due to its popularity. This shows that customers have a keen eye for delicious food.
It is precisely because the food is so simple that you can feel the time and effort that went into making it. This is a famous pork bowl restaurant that will leave you wanting to come back for more after you've finished eating.
