Obihiro "Buta-don no Tonda" is delicious because it is well versed in the taste of meat!
When one thinks of gourmet Hokkaido food, many things come to mind, and nowadays, buta-don (pork bowl) has become a part of that lineup. Speaking of buta-don, it is a specialty of Obihiro. Among the many popular restaurants, let us introduce you to "Butadon no Tonden" (pork bowl with buta-don). This is a butcher shop turned into a restaurant specializing in buta-don (pork bowl), so there is no doubt about it.
With high expectations, we arrived at the restaurant!
First-time visitors to Tonta will have a difficult time choosing from the menu. This is because there are three basic types of pork bowls: "loin buta-don," "rose buta-don," and "fillet buta-don. All are priced at 790 yen including tax. Regular customers are said to know which part of the pork they prefer, but if you are not used to it, you may be at a loss.
In such a case, we recommend the "Roast and Belly Assortment" for 940 yen including tax.
This is a very luxurious dish that allows you to enjoy both the loin and the belly. It was originally created as a service item in response to a customer request, but it became so popular that it was upgraded (?) to a regular menu item. It is said to have been upgraded to a regular menu item (?) due to its popularity.
As you can see from the photo, all Tonda's pork bowls come with miso soup and tsukemono pickles. Another great feature is that it comes with a jar of sauce. Isn't it nice to be able to eat as much of Tonda's special sweet sauce as you like?
Tonda was originally a butcher shop, so all the fresh pork from Tokachi is prepared by hand. 100 kg of raw pork is used per day in total, and it is all prepared by hand the day before. It is a lot of work just to imagine, but the spirit of his predecessor, "Don't sell the pork bowl, sell the time and effort," is still alive and well in the hearts of the employees. The restaurant moved to its current location in 2017 because it had outgrown its previous location due to its popularity.
This commitment to meat is reflected in the deliciousness of Tonda's pork bowls. This is because the restaurant's customers are also very discriminating about what tastes good.
The simplicity of the food is evident in the time and effort that has gone into it. This is a famous restaurant for buta donburi that will surely make you want to come back for more immediately after you finish eating it.
