Had lunch at Kokubu Butadon X. Bought a ticket for a pork bowl with extra cabbage and clam soup for 1000 yen from the vending machine. When I hear pork bowl, I automatically think of Obihiro, but here they have their own original sauce made with a Fukushima seasoning called "umakute shoga nee" and organic honey. It's not addictive, but it's a taste that I occasionally crave.

Ginger pork set with extra meat and half rice. The total was 1200 yen for the ginger pork 1000 yen and extra meat 200 yen. You can choose between loin and belly for the ginger pork, and this time I chose loin, which was tender and delicious with a sweet fat. Adding extra meat was definitely the right choice! You can also choose the amount of rice, so it's good for big eaters. I will definitely visit again. I didn't try it this time since I'm already an old man, but it's worth a try. What should I eat next time?

I visited this restaurant for the first time, and although I couldn't judge the prices from the outside, I gathered the courage to enter. I ordered the fried chicken set meal this time, but I regret not getting the pork bowl. The staff, who were women, were very pleasant. It was nice that the coffee was self-service and free. I also bought some pickled ginger as a souvenir.

I visited the restaurant on a Saturday at 12 pm, and there were no customers. I had tried to visit with my child a couple of times before, but they were closed, so I had given up. However, today they were open, so I went alone for a reconnaissance visit. I had the safe option of normal-sized pork bowl. Since I wasn't very hungry, I tried to order a half portion of rice, but they said the amount of meat would also decrease, so I kept the normal portion of rice for 800 yen. It was delicious. I also liked the sauce, just like the meat buns. I would like to try the pork belly next time. I don't understand why there are no customers. I plan to visit again.

I had lunch at this restaurant after a long time~♪ (as of April 25th, rating 3.27) It was a weekday lunchtime, surprisingly not many people were there, about half of the seats were occupied. I purchased a Sauce Katsu Don for 900 yen plus extra rice for 100 yen from the ticket machine and sat down at a table. It was served in about 7 minutes~♪ - Taste Evaluation - Sauce Katsu Don (extra rice) On top of the rice, there are shredded cabbage and sauce katsu. It's served in a bowl, which makes it easier to eat than a regular donburi. The meat is a good size, not too fatty, and seems to have been processed well. The crispy coating is delicious, I really like it♪ It also comes with miso soup and thinly sliced pickled daikon, which complement the dish nicely. - Overall Evaluation - I usually eat pork bowls, but this time I tried the Sauce Katsu for the first time. The meat is delicious as always, so this was also very tasty♪ Besides the Sauce Katsu, I think there was a menu item like "Garlic Miso Katsu," so I would like to try that next time (^^ゞ

I visited this place for lunch after a long time. The location is a 4-5 minute walk from Fuchu Station on the Keio Line. There is no parking lot, but there is a coin parking nearby, so it is okay to go by car. When you enter the shop, you will find a ticket machine inside where you can purchase your meal ticket. The menu has become quite extensive compared to the last time I visited. There are various options such as pork bowl, tonkatsu, curry, karaage, gyoza, etc. It's interesting that there are various ways to customize each menu item. You can add extra meat, rice, cabbage, etc. There are even desserts like soft serve ice cream available, and they also serve alcohol including makgeolli. I chose the "garlic miso pork bowl" from the pork bowl section as I was looking for something light that day. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the miso garlic sauce added a nice touch. The bowl was served with a self-cracked soft-boiled egg and miso soup. Overall, the portion was generous but the dish was light and easy to finish. The pickled ginger on the side was surprisingly delicious. It seems like a place where you can enjoy a variety of dishes regularly due to the increased menu options. It might be nice to visit for dinner next time since they also offer drinks in the evening.

I was lured by the flashy sign and catchy name of Butadon X (´⊙ω⊙`), so I decided to dive in for lunch. The restaurant is produced by Agatsuma Foods, which also manufactures the bottled seasoning "Delicious Ginger!!" sold on Amazon. It's not a chain store, but rather a single location where the kitchen owner and the waitress warmly welcome you as soon as you enter. There are table seats in the front, a counter in the back, and a ticket machine on the right. I purchased a ticket for the "Butadon X" for ¥800 from the machine and the waitress promptly relayed the order to the kitchen. I was given a complimentary drink from the drink bar next to the ticket machine, which was a nice touch. I took a seat at the counter, which had a unique Asian-inspired atmosphere. The Butadon X, along with miso soup and a hot spring egg, arrived in about 5 minutes. The dish consisted of a dome-shaped rice topped with shredded cabbage and carefully wrapped with several thick slices of pork loin. The topping of ginger sweet vinegar made it delicious. The pork was coated with something black, which turned out to be the "Delicious Ginger!!" seasoning, adding a delightful flavor to the dish. The Butadon was really tasty, especially the ginger pork. Mixing the egg with the pork made it even more luxurious. I finished my meal feeling satisfied. The miso soup was of the instant type like at Matsuya, so no complaints there. The restaurant also offers curry, katsudon, and other set meals, so you can enjoy a variety of dishes without getting bored. They even offer a jumbo size option for those with a big appetite. I heard that their soft serve ice cream is also a hidden gem. I definitely plan on revisiting in the future. Thank you for the meal!

I decided to go out and have some fried rice after seeing the sunset. It had been a while since I visited "Kinryu" on Kokusai Street. However, the restaurant was no longer there. It seems like it has closed down. I wanted to visit one last time. Since "Kinryu" was closed, the usual next stop would be "Kuribayashi," but I remembered a pork bowl restaurant on the way. I turned left and went into "Kokubu Butadon X." I ordered the pork bowl for 800 yen from the ticket machine since it was my first visit. It was served in about 5 minutes. I had imagined a rich sauce with garlic flavor, but it turned out to be a sweet sauce with ginger flavor, not too junky. It was a good flavor to enjoy the meat. The meat was decent, not the best, but the pork bowl was overall not bad.

This is a pork bowl restaurant located on the way from Isetan to Konami Sports. I was curious about the yellow curry, but decided to try the classic pork bowl first, which is the face of the shop. Not very hungry, so I ordered a half-size pork bowl. I couldn't find the option for a half size on the ticket machine, and when I was looking around confused, the staff kindly told me that the half size is not sold on the machine and that I could order it directly. The pork bowl comes with a hot spring egg and miso soup or soup, so I chose miso soup. The pork bowl itself is very simple, with a soy sauce-based ginger sauce over the pork and rice. The meat is very tender and easy to eat. The half portion was a bit small, but still satisfying. I'm curious about the yellow curry, so I'll try that next time. I wonder what "Ko" in the restaurant name means?

I came to Fuchu for work. I traveled to Kokubo Butadon X, which is a 7-8 minute walk from Fuchu Honmachi Station, and had the Sauce Katsu Don X Merchant's Special. There was a young lady managing the place by herself. She seemed to be a part-timer, but she was quite competent. As for the food, it was disappointing to see that it was likely frozen breaded cutlets. However, it had been a while since I had Katsu Don, so I'll take it as it is.

"Pork bowl for 800 yen. The soft loin meat pairs perfectly with the sauce! It's not a Tokachi pork bowl or a ginger pork dish, it's a unique sauce that will keep you coming back for more. The ginger pork set meal lets you choose between loin and belly meat."

A bustling corner of the downtown area in Fuchu. I noticed a new eye-catching store in a space that used to be occupied by the Fuchu branch of Kodaira Udon. Although the exterior didn't particularly catch my interest, I decided to try it out for lunch as it was not a chain store. The interior seemed to be a leftover from the Kodaira Udon days, but with various decorations, drinks, and menu items that livened up the place after a few years of being open. I ordered the Chicken Karaage Set Meal for ¥850, a classic choice. I sat at the counter, and while waiting for my food, I checked out the menu displayed in front of me. It was quite detailed with information about the origin of the pork, the brand, the ingredients, and even the ginger sauce that came with the rice. Before I knew it, my dish arrived on a plate. It consisted of 5 pieces of freshly fried karaage, shredded cabbage with mayonnaise and lemon sauce, miso soup, two small side dishes of pickles, and a small round-shaped bowl that looked like a mini mountain of rice under a lid. I assumed it was meant to be shaped that way for a reason, but I didn't dwell on it too much and started eating. The karaage had a crispy texture, likely mixed with starch, and a nice spiced flavor. The chicken was juicy and tasty. The ginger sauce added a pleasant sweetness to the rice, making it a perfect accompaniment. I enjoyed my meal while adjusting with the shredded cabbage. However, the purpose of the rice bowl shape remained unclear to me. It was hard to eat alongside the main dish and felt like it might collapse if not careful. The owner, who seemed to be in charge of cooking, and a female staff member were busy serving the regular customers, creating a lively atmosphere. The previous chain store's harsh atmosphere had been replaced by this unexpected ambiance, with proper ventilation through the door and acrylic dividers at the counter, along with hand sanitizer available. The food, focusing on hearty portions, was surprisingly delicious, but the overwhelming visuals and various details in the restaurant made me feel a bit exhausted. The combination of the thousand-year history of "Kokufu" with the pork bowl seemed somewhat awkward. Despite the uninviting appearance, I am curious to try the tonkatsu, which is my favorite, as it is being promoted. However, as a solo diner, I feel a bit out of place.

Wow!! I went to a pork bowl restaurant and it was really delicious! The taste is different from the pork bowls in Obihiro, but it's so good!

I ordered the most expensive lunch option, the premium pork cutlet set meal, which cost 1400 yen. It was delicious, but when I checked the website, it said it was made with domestic pork. Although it was tasty, the restaurant's name made me think of a specific type of pork, but it wasn't mentioned. The rice was dry, maybe due to the cooking method or being leftover from yesterday. Overall, it was not bad for dining in Fuchu. It was delicious. Next time, I will try the pork bowl for sure.

When you think of Hokkaido's pork bowl, you may be disappointed. It's more like a ginger pork bowl. The taste is delicious, with a flavor that makes you crave it for lunch. However, the customer service is lacking. The ticket machine is a bit confusing, and the female staff members struggle to explain things well. Also, I've encountered the restaurant being closed or reserved for private events multiple times (3 times), which has made it inconvenient for me to visit. It's a shame because the food is good, but it's a bit of a letdown.
