MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
The shop takes such pride in the quality of its pork—Mochibuta, a domestic pork known for its tender meat and light, clean-flavoured fat—that the brand is in the name of the restaurant. Pork is deep-fried in vegetable oil, on a low flame at a leisurely pace, for a light texture. The chef is a study in undivided concentration as he hovers over his pots. Tonjiru pork soup is generously full of ingredients. The location is next to Musashikoyama Shopping Street, famed for its long arcade. Reservations are accepted for evenings.
