Introducing the Limited-Time Gourmet Pork Dish at Shinjuku Saboten with Sesame Enrichment

Limited-Time Offering at Shinjuku Saboten

In a much-anticipated return, Shinjuku Saboten, operated by Greenhouse Foods, is excited to announce the limited-time launch of the "Hokkaido Aged Goma Ten Pork Cutlet Set" starting February 1, 2026, available at its restaurant locations across Japan.

What Makes This Dish Special?

This delectable dish features the Goma Ten®, a premium pork breed fed a unique sesame-based diet that enhances its flavor and richness. Known for its rich taste and deep umami, the Goma Ten not only offers excellent melt-in-your-mouth texture but also boasts a notable characteristic: it is naturally enriched with sesamin, a compound known for its antioxidant properties.

The "Hokkaido Aged Goma Ten Pork Cutlet Set" will be priced at 2,080 yen (tax included: 2,288 yen), available until the end of April 2026. Additionally, there’s the "Hokkaido Aged Goma Ten and Large Shrimp Fry Set" priced at 2,480 yen (tax included: 2,728 yen) available during the same period.

A Unique Culinary Experience

To enhance your enjoyment of the Goma Ten pork cutlet, Shinjuku Saboten provides a special tasting suggestion featuring Hokkaido wasabi and soy sauce. Diners are encouraged to mix the wasabi into the soy sauce and dip their pork cutlet for a flavor pairing that showcases the dish's authentic taste.

A Seasonal Specialty: Handcrafted Roll Cutlets

Shinjuku Saboten takes pride in its handcrafted seasonal offerings, including the exclusive "Plum and Perilla Rolled Cutlet." This dish features juicy loin wrapped with domestic perilla leaves and Kishu Nanko plums, providing a burst of flavor that is simply irresistible. The "Plum and Perilla Rolled Cutlet Set," served with a slice of the cutlet, a mini pork fillet, and a large shrimp fry, is priced at 1,780 yen (tax included: 1,958 yen), available until the end of March 2026.

For those who wish to savor just the rolled cutlet, it is available as a single item priced at 500 yen (tax included: 550 yen).
