with rich ingredients obtained from the vast plains and nature of the Tokachi region!
Let's check out local foods in Obihiro together!
Butadon no Pancho
It is said that Pancho is an originator of the Butadon(pork rice bowl),
and super popular pork rice bowl specialty restaurant that is always lined up.
The location is a 5-minute walk from Obihiro Station, and because of its taste,
it is a shop loved by not only tourists but also local office workers as well.
The sauce that anyone could eat deliciously, and the flavor of charcoal makes it appetizing.
Because it uses the finest pork loin, the taste of meat is also wonderful.

Tokachi Butadon Ippin
Tokachi Butadon Ippin, which has its main shop in Obihiro,
but it has more shops in Sapporo, so I recommend you this place if you can't go to Obihiro.
It is a pork bowl specialty shop managed by "Sorachi", which is a familiar sauce maker in Hokkaido,
so the sauce is very delicious and the pork meat is flavorful of charcoal.
You can choose the amount of rice, meat, and the size of the meat cutting.
In addition, the location of Ippin Sapporo Kita 10jo shop is a 3-minute walk
from our Sapporo sales office!

Curry Shop Indian
Indian curry restaurant proudly speaks of 'the second most delicious restaurant in Obihiro'
because the most delicious thing is the dish of wife and mother.
It is Obihiro local people's soul food,
you can enjoy delicious curry that has been boiled for a long time at a fairly low price.
There are shops only in Obihiro or Kushiro,
so if you come to Obihiro, we highly recommend this restaurant!
…But the shop I visited was temporarily closed due to staff training,
so there is no photo of curry…😭
I have eaten it several times before, so I can guarantee the taste!
I will never fail next time…！
Obihiro has so many other shops I would like to introduce,
so it took a long time just to pick up the contents.
Still I haven't gone all to the shops I want to go, so please look forward the second part.
Next week will be introducing for Obihiro sightseeing spots！
