Yokkaichi Tonteki

Thick slices of pork sizzle on an iron plate. The aroma of the dark, heavy sauce and garlic is irresistibly appetizing. It is a dish that makes you want to eat endless bowls of white rice. Tonteki is said to have been born in post-war Yokkaichi. During an era when people working in the construction of industrial complexes gathered, there was a high demand for hearty, voluminous meals. It is believed that the Chinese restaurant 'Raiken' devised this dish by boldly grilling thick pork with garlic and a special sauce. The name comes from combining 'Ton' (pork) and 'Steak'. Its hallmarks are the black sauce, thick-cut loin, garlic, and shredded cabbage. It is the perfect local gourmet food for days when you want a heavy, satisfying meal.
