On December 4, 2019, after staying one night at Jozankei Onsen, I visited Ito's Butcher Shop in Susukino, which is known for supplying meat to Genghis Khan Daruma. I purchased 300g of raw mutton for 400 yen per kilogram, along with Sorachi sauce. They asked if I wanted it grilled on a net or on a hot plate, and I chose the hot plate (which affects the thickness of the meat slices). When I got home and tried it, the raw mutton, which contained two different cuts, had a strong lamb flavor, good thickness, and was juicy. It may not be suitable for those who prefer the less gamey taste of the popular Genghis Khan style, but I personally enjoyed it. I would like to purchase it again if I have the chance.

I visited "Ito Butcher Shop" located along Fukuzumi Kuwanen Street in Nishi 15-chome, Minami 20-jo. It was my first visit during the daytime as I had the afternoon off from work. I arrived before 1:00 PM and found the shop open. I had never noticed it before, even though I had worked in the area for about five years. Inside, there was a father working alone, and the atmosphere was that of a typical butcher shop, which was reassuring. I was curious about the raw mutton, so I asked if they had it. The father said they did and offered it at 400 yen per 100g. I decided to order 400g of raw mutton for 1,600 yen. The father skillfully sliced the meat with a sharpened knife, and I admired his craftsmanship. The meat was from the same supplier that supplies "Daruma," a local restaurant known for its delicious mutton dishes. I enjoyed the mutton, which was flavorful and had a rich taste. The meat on the right had a lot of fat, while the one on the left had more texture and less fat. Both were delicious, but I preferred the one with more fat. The father was friendly during the payment process, which was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely come back to try their charcoal-grilled mutton in the summer. They also offer refrigerated mutton for takeout. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I recommend the fresh mutton. Despite being mutton, it has no strong smell, and even the fatty parts are delicious. The taste is rich and tender. It will be well-received at a barbecue. It was 450 yen per 100g (as of 9/23).

"Ito's Butcher Shop" This shop supplies meat to the famous Genghis Khan restaurant "Daruma" in Susono. I heard that you can buy the same meat that you eat at "Daruma," so I decided to visit the shop! Looking at the business hours, they are open on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 12:00 to 15:40. This day happened to be a Friday, so I hurried to the shop. The shop is located along the main street and looks like a traditional, modest meat shop. I purchased "500g of raw mutton (100g for 400 yen) for 2,000 yen." I wanted to try the rolled meat as well, but cooking it at home can make the house smell, so I passed on it this time. The meat is cut by the shop owner after receiving the order. I cooked it in a frying pan that evening, and as rumored, the meat was incredibly tender and juicy. The fat was sweet and delicious. Whether eaten with salt or Genghis Khan sauce, it tastes great! I've eaten at "Daruma" many times, but the meat I bought this time was much tastier than the one served at the restaurant. We devoured the 500g quickly, and next time, I plan to buy the rolled meat and grill it over charcoal for Genghis Khan. It was a delicious meal! Thank you!"

After a break of about 4 years due to hospitalization, there have been various system changes on Tabelog. Currently, I feel a bit lost as things seem different from before. This time, I visited the origin of "Roll Jingisukan," a popular dish known for its rolled lamb, at Ito Seinikuten. The shop is open for general business on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, closing at 3:40 pm to make deliveries of fresh lamb and other meats. I purchased the "Roll Lamb" and fresh lamb slices. The quality of the meat is top-notch, similar to what you would find at the famous restaurant "Daruma." The meat is hand-cut by the owner, who takes pride in his work. The "Roll Lamb" was cooked on a hot plate and sliced thinly. It was delicious and had a unique flavor. The fresh lamb slices were also tender and flavorful. The prices at Ito Seinikuten are reasonable, and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend trying their meats.

I've known about this shop for a long time but couldn't find the right time and day to visit until now. The meat in the photos is both 500g each, and together they cost 3000 yen. The price is a bit high, but you can only buy raw mutton here. They have shoulder loin and loin cuts. They asked if I wanted them cut for frying in a pan, and they did it for me! The loin is not too fatty and the shoulder loin is tender and delicious. It's so good that you don't even need to go to a Genghis Khan restaurant. The rolls you buy at the supermarket are fake (laughs). You can only buy mutton roll and lamb roll at this shop! Today I bought 200g of shoulder loin, and 100g each of mutton roll and lamb roll. If you can't remember the names, just show them the photos! Today I showed them the photos from my previous purchase and bought them again (laughs). I'll definitely go back!

◆◆◆◆◆◆【Second Post】◆◆◆◆◆◆【February 2015】This is my second post, so I'll keep it light this time. I found a retail version of "Rolled Mutton" at the original store where it originated. I was delighted to purchase it. I also bought the popular and delicious "Daruma" style "Raw Mutton." - Raw Mutton details can be found in the previous review. Price: 500g for 1500 yen, 100g for 300 yen (including 8% consumption tax) - Rolled Mutton: ★4.0. It has a strong mutton flavor with a slightly chewy texture compared to raw mutton. It has a nostalgic taste, and the flavor is cleaner than the cheaper rolled mutton from the past. Price: 500g for 1800 yen, 100g for 180 yen (including 8% consumption tax) Both the Raw Mutton and Rolled Mutton were delicious. Highly recommend both! ◆◆◆◆◆◆【First Post】◆◆◆◆◆◆I had the popular "Raw Mutton" and "Rolled Lamb Half" from a top-rated restaurant on Tabelog at home. Ito Seiniku-ten is the original store of Rolled Mutton! - Established in 1936, Ito Seiniku-ten is now in its 78th year. I learned about this store from a review by "macpon" on Tabelog. It is the birthplace of Rolled Mutton, a staple of Genghis Khan cuisine. While they now offer raw lamb and other meats, Rolled Mutton and Rolled Lamb were the main products in the past. It's the origin of rolled meat dishes. The store operates only on three days: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, closing at 3:40 pm to make deliveries like Raw Mutton. Located in the Yamahana area of Chuo Ward, Sapporo, along the tram line. Check Tabelog for the exact location. I parked at the store's parking space and brought a cooler bag. I wanted to buy two types of meat, but one was sold out for the day. I had to give up on buying a whole Rolled Mutton (11kg). I was able to purchase the other two types: Raw Mutton and Rolled Lamb Half. - Raw Mutton: ★4.5. Very tender and flavorful, doesn't taste like mutton. It's the same meat as the popular Tabelog Top 5000 restaurant "Daruma" serves. Price: 300 yen for 100g (including 8% consumption tax) - Rolled Lamb Half: ★4.0. Uses various parts of the half of a lamb, giving it a unique deep flavor. Sliced to order, the weight may vary, so I took all the slices, including the fractions. Price: 160 yen for 100g (including 8% consumption tax) The Raw Mutton was incredibly delicious, and it was a joy to enjoy it at home. The prices at Ito Seiniku-ten are very reasonable. The Rolled Lamb Half also had a high-quality taste. Ito Seiniku-ten has made significant contributions to the development of Genghis Khan cuisine in Hokkaido with their Rolled Mutton. The owner is a kind and friendly person. I look forward to buying from them again in the future. Delicious and affordable!

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while. I heard they specialize in mutton rolls, so I decided to give them a call. I ordered both the mutton roll and the lamb roll to compare. When I went to pick up my order, I found out that they are frozen solid, so it takes some time to cut them. It's better to make a reservation in advance. I purchased the 1kg mutton roll (1800 yen) on the left in the photo, and the 1kg lamb roll (1800 yen) on the right. Both are a bit pricey at 1800 yen per kg. I prepared a slit Mongolian hot pot, charcoal, and bell sauce for cooking. The photo shows the mutton roll being cooked on the hot pot. The mutton roll was absolutely delicious, with a wild and flavorful taste and sweet fat. When compared to the lamb roll, the lamb felt a bit lacking in flavor. However, this is a matter of personal preference. When ordering, they asked how I would be cooking the meat (grill or hot pot), and based on my choice of hot pot, they cut the meat thicker. I think a thinner cut would have been easier to cook and eat.

This place is located in Chuo-ku, at Nishi 15-chome, Minami 20-jo, along the Nishisen Street. It's right next to a famous soup curry restaurant, and it's a long-established shop that has been around since 1936. They are known for developing roll-shaped mutton meat. I finally had the chance to visit this place after wanting to for a while. They don't have the roll mutton readily available, but you can pre-order it if you want. Instead, I tried the roll lamb, sliced thickly at about 750g. I took it home and cooked it in a Genghis Khan pot with Genghis Khan sauce, chili pepper, grated garlic, and only bean sprouts. The taste of the lamb was truly unique and delicious. I recommend pre-ordering the roll mutton for a special experience. Also, a little secret - the shop supplies "raw lamb" to a famous Genghis Khan restaurant in Susukino.

Genghis Khan = Daruma ⇒ Seems to be from Ito Seinikuten. I heard that the popular Genghis Khan restaurant "Daruma" receives its supply of meat (raw mutton) from Ito Seinikuten. ◎Koyonaku: "Please give me 500g of raw mutton and 500g of rolled lamb!" ●Oichan: "Sure! Raw mutton is 400 yen per gram, rolled lamb is 300 yen per gram, the prices will go up next month!" ◎Koyonaku: "Okay!" ●Oichan: "How thick do you want it?" ◎Koyonaku: "Since I will be grilling it in a Genghis Khan pot, please make it a thickness that would go well with that!" ●Oichan: "Okay!" ◎Koyonaku: "Also, please give me the Soraichi Genghis Khan sauce, Delicious!" ●Oichan: "Sure! It's 300 yen!" ◎Koyonaku: "Okay!" This was my first time visiting this restaurant. This summer might be the last time for backyard Genghis Khan. ★Raw mutton: It has a nostalgic taste but with less of the mutton smell and very delicious! ★Rolled lamb: It's tasty, but the raw mutton seems more like Genghis Khan... Definitely a delicious Genghis Khan without any mistakes. When leaving the restaurant, I thought about saying "thank you" before closing the sliding door, but I felt like I was losing in terms of number of times, so I ended up saying "Okay!" instead. Haha... I won! Thank you for the meal. 10/3 Carbohydrate progress: Weight -1.0, Body fat -0.5, Visceral fat ±0 Progress is slow, maybe too relaxed...

This day was a holiday spent with the usual person. Actually, the usual person has already started their Obon holiday, which is a long break. I only have a two-day holiday. I had decided to go to this restaurant in the morning. I had breakfast and lunch combined at "Shin Tsukisamu Store" and then went straight to this restaurant. It's a long-awaited place that I have wanted to visit for years. But it was difficult due to their operating hours. "Ito Seiniku-ten" - I ordered 1 kilogram of raw mutton, 1 kilogram of mutton roll, and a small portion of Sorachi Jingisukan Talley Delicious. The raw mutton is supplied to "Daruma" in Susukino, as many people have mentioned. I have been eating Jingisukan for nearly 30 years. I often eat it as a finishing dish after drinking in Susukino. Now I can enjoy it at home at a reasonable price. The Jingisukan comes with a mix of red and white meat. The red meat is light and meaty, while the white meat has a strong taste of lamb fat. It's so blissful to have the taste of lamb filling my mouth. My family consists of two people. Yes, we finished the 1 kilogram of raw mutton! Our stomachs were full, and we couldn't finish the vegetables, but we finished all the raw mutton! The deliciousness was overwhelming, filling our mouths and stomachs with the aroma of mutton. It's not easy to find a place where you can buy raw mutton. I will post about the mutton roll, which I put in the freezer, next time. I also bought this Jingisukan sauce (seen at the edge of the photo) together, which is not commonly seen. I saw it at a meat shop in Ashibetsu before and it was so delicious, so I bought the larger size this time. It's not sold in Tomakomai. The owner of Ito Seiniku-ten said it's sold at the Sapporo Kuwon in Aeon (I'm still using the large size at home, but I bought it anyway). This sauce is unbelievably delicious! It's so delicious!! My days off are often on weekdays, and I can't drive alone to the Maruyama area in Sapporo. It's difficult. I wonder when I can eat it again. I already feel like eating raw mutton again! *The thing spread out on the table... A horse racing newspaper... Too much of a daily life feel in the photo... ===========
