Tokachi Butadon Ippin Flagship Store

Beautiful place, but difficult to find, good that there are stars also close

Awesome meat, cut just the way you order it, charcoal broiled with nearly-drinkable sauce! The only problem with my normal size rice with 1.5 meat was that I kind of ran out of sauce near the end.... You can get it with more though! Definitely my favorite butadon shop, by far.

Lines can get long at Tokachi Ippin in Obihiro. It’s popular, especially on long weekends and especially for lunch. Is it worth the wait? Yeah, I think so, simple food done well. The speciality is sauce butadon rice bowls. People don’t go there for anything else. Honestly when it’s busy, I think is when the meat is best. Grilled just enough. If the chef isn’t busy, he’s more likely to over cook it. The pork is charcoal grilled giving it the distinctive barbecue flavor. The sauce is light. They have both shichimi spice and sansho Szechuan pepper to add some spice, i recommend a little of both. Service is fast and friendly. If there is a line, get your name on the list near the counter as soon as you can. Especially if you’re a small group, you may get seated at the counter (my preference anyway) ahead of larger groups.

Really good grilled pork donburi. It has outlets in Sapporo area as well but the vibe here is really nice.

The store design is in low profile and I was offered a seat over the heart and transparent observed how the boil roasts the black laces on the top of the charcoal. Of course, the spices/source they marinated the black apron is the key to making them so successful, but the fresh and the quality of the pork keep it moist, delicate and delicious! the whole cooking process is very simple, but the taste is impressive. also the rice is from the local farm makes the combination a sign here. highly recommended.
