Butadon (Pork Rice Bowl)
Savor the Harmony of Savory Pork, Sweet Sauce, and Rice
A famous local specialty of Tokachi and Obihiro, Butadon features savory grilled pork topped with a sweet-and-savory sauce that pairs perfectly with steamed white rice.
Pork grilled over charcoal or an open grill gives off an appetizing aroma that immediately stimulates the senses. Thick cuts of pork deliver rich flavor and satisfying texture with every bite. The sauce, made from a soy sauce base blended with sugar and mirin, adds depth, sweetness, and aroma while perfectly complementing the meat. Coating the pork and soaking lightly into the rice, it creates a delicious combination that has made Butadon a beloved local favorite.
Butadon is said to have originated at a restaurant in Obihiro, inspired by the traditional eel rice bowl known as unadon. Each restaurant offers its own interpretation, with variations in sauce recipes, cuts of pork, and choices between tender pork loin and rich pork belly. Sampling different styles is part of the fun when exploring Obihiro's food scene. When visiting the city, be sure to try an authentic bowl and discover one of Tokachi's most beloved local flavors.
