Exciting News from TONTON

TONTON, the beloved pork bowl restaurant known for its delicious flavors, is about to expand its reach with a brand new location! Set to open in late January 2026, the new branch, the "Ganso Butadon-ya TONTON Shinkikawa-Shima", will be situated in the vibrant area of Nishi-Nippori, Arakawa Ward, Tokyo. This location will be just a three-minute walk from the Shin-Mikawashima Station on the Keisei Line.

Adding to its legacy, TONTON has earned popularity for serving traditional pork bowls, or "butadon", rooted in the culinary culture of Obihiro, Hokkaido. The key to their success is the use of a unique sweet and spicy sauce, which enhances the tenderness of the meat and ensures a flavor profile that captivates the taste buds.

A Taste of Tradition

The pork bowls at TONTON are not just meals; they are an experience. Each order begins with the careful preparation of the meat, which is marinated in a secret sauce. This process elevates the flavor as the meat is grilled twice to reduce grease, delivering a savory profile that patrons adore. TONTON is constantly innovating, frequently introducing limited-time menu items and large portion options that have become social media sensations.

In the past, new store openings have seen eager customers waiting for up to two hours, with many items selling out quickly due to high demand. The excitement around each new opening further solidifies TONTON's reputation as a must-visit dining destination.
