During a lunch meeting with a local during a business trip, I ordered the popular Tokachi pork bowl chain restaurant's Mix (mix of belly and loin) in large size for 1170 yen. The dish was grilled with charcoal, giving it a rich and fragrant aroma. The sweet sauce resembled eel, and when sprinkled with sansho pepper, it was delicious. The portion was generous and overall very tasty.

I visited this place for lunch in Sapporo because I didn't have much time. I ordered a pork bowl that allows you to eat both loin and belly. Surprisingly, the salad was delicious and quite generous for a set menu. The dressing was tasty too. The miso soup had a rich broth and was also delicious. As for the pork bowl, it was full of both loin and belly! The rich sauce and the savory flavor were outstanding. The turnover is quick, so it's suitable for lunch.

Pork bowl with less rice for 920 yen. Miso soup for 120 yen. Green onions for 120 yen. It's nice that the price goes down based on the amount of rice. If you get a set, it comes with miso soup and a choice of salad or pickled plum tofu. It's been so long since I had a pork bowl... It was delicious with a crispy texture.

I usually pass by this place but it was always full, so I had given up. However, when I went there after the lunch hour was over, there were empty seats so I decided to go in. I ordered a pork bowl with a small amount of rice. The sweet and savory sauce and the large pieces of pork were delicious. The pork miso soup had a generous amount of ingredients and had quite a bit of thinly sliced pork in it. Since it wasn't crowded, my order arrived surprisingly quickly. I thought it would be a good place to visit when I don't have much time for lunch. The staff were friendly.

Two bottles of beer. Special pork plate. Special pork plate for takeout. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and it's a place where you can enjoy a leisurely meal. If I could make a request, it would be nice to have the option to choose both pork loin and pork belly for the pork plate. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Well, for the first meal in Sapporo, I decided on pork bowl. I went to the Stella Place store at 12:00 on a weekday. It was crowded... I was the 5th group in line. Since this is a commercial facility directly connected to the station, it tends to get crowded. I looked for a chain store nearby and found one that was less crowded. It was about a 5-minute walk from Stella Place. It was not busy at all. I ordered the pork bowl. The regular one arrived in 10 minutes. The taste was... delicious. They seared it at the end, giving it a nice smoky flavor. The meat was tasty, and the sauce was sweet like eel sauce. It was delicious. The pork fat wasn't too heavy. Since the loin cut had enough fat, I think the normal option is good enough unless you really like fatty meat. They also offer a half-and-half option with loin and belly mix, but I think the normal option is sufficient. I recommend this place over the crowded Stella Place store.

One day, on a hot day, I was heading to have some udon noodles through Chikaho when suddenly there was a request for pork bowl, so I changed my plans! There is a restaurant in a building directly connected from Chikaho with a reputation for its Genghis Khan and pork bowl sauce called "Sorachi". I didn't know about it, but apparently this place is a restaurant serving Obihiro pork bowls developed by a manufacturer called "Sorachi". The bright and high-ceilinged, clean cafe-style interior exudes a sense of cleanliness. I couldn't take a picture inside because customers were reflected, but it's a stylish pork bowl restaurant that is quite popular for weekday lunches. The main menu item is the pork bowl, with options for extra large servings, pork plate, and a menu item called "Pork Zanmai", which seems to be a combination of loin and belly cuts. Furthermore, the pork bowl menu allows for customization such as adjusting the rice quantity, pork cut size, extra green onions, and options like miso soup. You can also customize with options like regular rice, extra pork, or extra sauce (additional charge?). I ordered a regular pork bowl, and since I added them as a friend on LINE, I received a complimentary miso soup for one time, so that was a nice bonus. When the pork bowl arrived and I lifted the lid, there was a pork bowl with plenty of green onions on top. I sprinkled some sansho pepper over it and enjoyed it! There was also shichimi available. Despite being located in the basement of a building, the pork meat cooked over charcoal was fragrant and very delicious!! However, it was slightly lighter in taste compared to the pork bowls I've had before. I thought it might be even better with a bit more sauce... so my colleague requested an additional sauce, which came in an easy-to-pour container. Just by adding a little bit of this, it became even more delicious☆彡 As expected, with rice bowls, having the sauce spread to the rice enhances the flavor even more, right? I ordered the rice as usual, so I ended up quite full. The other girl customized her pork by cutting it into smaller pieces, which may be easier for women to eat. Next time I go, I think I'll do the same. I was surprised to see that the miso soup bowl had a handle like a mug cup!! It was my first time seeing that. Even though it doesn't feel like you're drinking miso soup (lol), I wonder if this is for inbound tourists... Enjoyed the local gourmet cuisine of Obihiro at an affordable price in Sapporo. Thank you for the meal~

[Access] This shop is located in a corner where restaurants on the B1F of a building are lined up. It is situated near the exit, so people entering from the ground level entrance need to walk towards the back. [Atmosphere] The service is good, the food is served quickly, and overall it is a nice place. However, it can get crowded during lunchtime on weekdays due to office workers, so it is better to visit at a different time if you want to eat quickly. [Menu] I ordered the pork bowl. There are options with pork loin and a more expensive one with pork belly. [Taste] The pork bowl from Obihiro is delicious. Personally, I think that pork bowl is a combination of pork, sauce, and rice, so it is hard to go wrong no matter where you eat it. [Price] It is around 1100 yen. Honestly, it is a bit pricey for lunch, so I deducted one star. [Recommended for] If you want to eat a pork bowl in a convenient location, this place is recommended! Just to clarify, it is definitely delicious!

I happened to discover Ippin, a pork bowl restaurant in the Nissei Building underground food court. I sat at the counter and ordered the pork bowl (990 yen). The pork bowl was overflowing from the bowl, with plenty of sauce. The rice was soaked in the sauce as well. The pork meat had low fat content, making it juicy yet healthy. It was satisfying to receive change from a 1,000 yen bill. In addition to the main store in Obihiro, they have 6 other locations in Sapporo. You can also find them near Sapporo Station at Stella Place. Surprisingly, there are not many pork bowl restaurants in Sapporo, so Ippin is a great choice!

Pork bowl. Station front street Nissei Building. The diner is quite crowded. I was able to get in without waiting (others lined up later). There are many female customers. They seem to eat a lot. I think the pork bowl here is delicious. The sauce is just right, and even without green onions, I like the way it's cooked. Thank you for the meal. PayPay is accepted.

It seems like a new store in Nissei Building. I ordered the "Pork Bowl Feast" with a little rice, normal amount of sauce, and small pieces of pork. The taste was consistent and delicious! Whether it's belly or loin, the meat is tender and the sauce flavor is well infused.

Delicious roast pork and rice bowl. The sauces complement each other well, and there are various options for the amount of rice and meat, so you can enjoy it according to your preference.

Located at NOASIS 3.4 B1F, 4-1-1 Kita 3 Nishi 4, Chuo-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaido. A pork bowl specialty restaurant called "Ippin" operated by the mischief maker Sorachi. The main store is in Obihiro and they seem to be expanding rapidly. During the Snow Festival period, there is usually a long line outside the store, but today there were no waiting customers. It was past 2 pm on a weekend. Inside the restaurant, there is a kitchen space on the right side, followed by counter seats and table seats. We were welcomed to choose any seat we liked! I ordered the pork bowl for 880 yen. It was made with pork loin meat. You can also get a mix of loin and belly meat, but I had a disappointing experience ordering that at the Sapporo Station North Exit store, where the belly meat was slightly burnt and thinly sliced. This time, I ordered the loin meat pork bowl. They confirmed the size of the meat cuts and the amount of sauce when I placed my order. I requested normal-sized cuts with extra sauce. The raw meat is dipped in the sauce before being grilled, then coated with sauce again for a second grilling. The charcoal fire adds a nice smoky flavor, and the sweet and salty sauce pairs well with the white rice. The meat quality was good, with a satisfying thickness. I was very pleased with the meal. Miso soup was provided as a service for LINE registration. Thank you. It was a nice touch that they served both cold water and hot tea.

I visited a new restaurant that opened in the area for lunch. They cut the meat into easy-to-eat sizes and allow customization of sauce amount and rice portion. This time, I tried less sauce for the first time but regretted it. Next time, I will order it with the normal amount of sauce.

I waited a bit and then ordered a regular pork bowl and pork miso soup at the counter. I asked for the rice and meat to be normal. The pork bowl had plenty of green onions on top which got me excited. The pork was tender and the rice was just right. The pork miso soup had a half boiled egg which was a unique touch. I was happy with the generous amount of ingredients. Overall, I was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

Butadon (pork bowl) for 880 yen, Butajiru (pork soup) for 250 yen. When you think of trying the famous Butadon from Tokachi in Sapporo, you might consider going to "Ippin." I heard that a new branch of Ippin has opened in the Nissei Building. I visited the restaurant around 11 am on a holiday, so it was not crowded, but by the time I left, there were customers waiting outside. It seems to be quite popular. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and well-maintained. I ordered the basic Butadon (regular rice, regular meat) and the Butajiru. The Butajiru was a new experience for me. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes. In my opinion, the Butadon had a light sauce and was on the lighter side. The grilled pork loin had little fat and a good meaty flavor. Now, onto the Butajiru. I was drawn to the soft-boiled egg, but there was a generous amount of pork belly in the soup! The broth was flavorful and delicious. And all of this for only 250 yen! Definitely worth trying! By the way, Butadon is called "butadon" and Butajiru is called "butajiru" in Hokkaido. I wonder if this naming convention is unique to Hokkaido...

I often go to the shops along Chikaho near Kita-Jujo, but I decided to visit this one on my day off since it's close to my workplace. I ordered the special pork bowl for 1210 yen and a draft beer for 450 yen. Unlike the shops in Kita-Jujo, there wasn't a strong kitchen smell coming from the kitchen here. The pork bowl that arrived was nicely cooked with a smoky charcoal flavor. I was initially concerned about the cooking being done underground, but it turned out fine. The pork bowl here has green onions as a nice touch, and the pork itself was cooked just right - tender with a good thickness. This is my personal preference. They also offer this for weekday lunches, but it's hard to resist adding a beer to the set. That's the sentiment of a drinker. Therefore, the only reason I wouldn't use this place regularly is due to personal circumstances of being a flawed human.

Pork bowl with less rice ¥810, miso soup ¥120. It was a Sunday afternoon around 3:00, with about 90% of the seats taken. It was nice to be able to enter without waiting in line, especially since many shops are closed for lunch break. There is a branch in the local area that I haven't visited yet, so why here? Still a mystery. The seared pork was fragrant and crispy. The sweet and salty sauce complemented it perfectly. I noticed that you can customize things like how the meat is cut and the amount of sauce after ordering. Next time, I might try customizing my order a bit.

It seems relatively new as it is located in the basement of the Nissei Building. There are many Stella branches popping up recently. The menu consists of only pork bowls, but there are several variations in terms of portion size and rice. I ordered it with miso soup. You can choose the thickness of the sauce and the size of the pork slices. I asked for a normal cut with a thick sauce. When the bowl arrived, it was covered and the pork was overflowing. It's a nice presentation. The pork portion was quite generous, and I even had to double-check my order to make sure it was a regular size. The meat was lean with a bit of protein. It might feel a bit lacking without the sauce, but it's delicious when you mix it in. The pork in the miso soup was substantial, but I didn't feel the pork fat much. I think a bit more miso flavor would be nice. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and relaxing. Overall, I think it's a pretty good restaurant.

After work, I felt a little hungry so I decided to grab something to eat on my way home. I remembered this place that recently opened. I chose a table for two and ordered a half-size pork bowl. They served me cold water and hot tea, which was nice. The food arrived quickly. The portion was just right. The meat was tender with a nice charred flavor. The green onions added a good touch. The sauce made the rice even more delicious. Personally, I think the meat could be cut into smaller pieces for easier eating. A stronger sauce might enhance the satisfaction. I'll remember to ask for a stronger sauce next time.
