Ganso Buta-don no Pancho

This restaurant was established in 1933 and is the originator of Hokkaido’s famous “buta-don,” rice-bowl with pork. The founders of the restaurant wanted people to enjoy the finest of flavors of pork so they made a salty sweet sauce for their buta-don (pork rice-bowl) which gained them great fame, and currently the establishment is run as a buta-don only specialty restaurant. The charcoal-grilled pork is super soft and has a fragrance that will stimulate your appetite to the max. The amount of pork will change between the 4 different options of “hana”, “ume”, “take”, and “matsu", with the slightly fancy “ume” being the most popular. Considering the quality and volume of meat offered, these rice-bowls are an amazing deal. Come by on your trip to Hokkaido and join all the fervent fans.
