This time, I visited Butadon Hanatokachi in Obihiro✨
The pork bowl at Butadon Hanatokachi is a superb dish built on four commitments—Hokkaido pork, the sauce, the grilling method, and Hokkaido rice—and it’s topped with Tokachi-grown wild horseradish and edamame🍚
The sauce has just the right sweetness, and when you put a bit of wild horseradish on the juicy pork and eat them together, it tastes refreshingly delicious🤤

Tokachigawa Onsen is home to a rare peat-based hot spring in Japan known as a moor spring.
A moor spring is an alkaline hot spring that contains humic substances derived from lignite (sub-bituminous coal), so named because its effects are similar to those of moor baths. Compared with ordinary mineral springs, this type of spring is unusually rare worldwide, making it a precious resource with limited supply.
An authentic sample of lignite is on display at the Tokachigawa Onsen Association, so please come and see it!
