New Culinary Delight: 'BanBanBu'

A new era of culinary creativity is dawning at GotchTon, the specialized restaurant focusing on pork soup dishes. Starting on July 8, 2026, patrons can savor the innovative 'BanBanBu'—a cold soy milk pork soup that serves a refreshing twist to the traditional dish.

Innovative Flavors Combining Tradition and Creativity
This dish, named playfully after the classic Chinese cold chicken dish 'Bang Bang Ji,' features succulent pork paired with a homemade sesame sauce, all complemented by the rich flavors of barley miso and soy milk. It's a delightful summer option, designed for those looking to enjoy the full potential of pork while indulging in a refreshing meal.

Expect the taste of juicy pork, crunchy cucumbers, and crisp mizuna drizzled with a special sesame sauce, delivering an unprecedented fresh flavor.

The base of this exquisite dish is the soy milk pork soup, skillfully crafted by blending barley miso and high-quality soy milk. Enhancing its richness and aroma is a touch of sesame paste (known as 'shiba-ma-zan'), creating a deep flavor profile that encourages you to finish every last drop. Hidden within this delightful soup are blocks of 'Toyomasari' tofu, renowned for its sweetness, perfectly complementing the savory broth.

This special dish is reserved for the summer season and is bound to ignite your appetite even in the warmer months.

Perfect Pairing Options

The 'Barley Miso and Sesame Cold Soy Milk Pork Soup Set' is available for just 990 yen (including tax, 1,089 yen). One recommended enhancement is to switch the rice to the ever-popular 'Miso Grilled Rice Ball' for an additional 190 yen (including tax, 209 yen). The toasted, savory miso pairs perfectly with the creamy, sesame soy milk-based pork soup, making for an irresistible combination.

Additional Tantalizing Summer Menu Items

GotchTon also offers limited-time summer dishes:

• - 'Lemon Soy Milk Pork Soup with White Miso': 990 yen (tax included 1,089 yen)

Creamy soy milk and white miso come together with refreshing lemon, bringing a tangy scent and flavor to the traditional pork soup.

• - 'Chilled Pork Soup with Barley Miso': 990 yen (tax included 1,089 yen)

This dish reinterprets the Miyazaki local delicacy 'Hiyajiru' using toasted barley miso, served in a chilly broth.
