Yokkaichi, Mie, Japan｜Matsumoto no Rairaiken

Staff are friendly. During peak hours might need to queue up

This is the most famous tonteki restaurant in Yokkaichi! The food is good and the refills on the sides satisfies the heartiest appetites. You have to eat here while you're in Yokkaichi.

When I went there just before 12 noon on a Saturday, it was already full. I waited for about 15 minutes and was shown to my seat, but it seemed like it took quite a while to grill the tonteki, so it took about 45 minutes to get my meal. It took a while to eat, but the taste was excellent. Sweet and spicy sauce with a punch of garlic Goes well with chunky pork. The amount is a little large, but it will give you energy.
