This time, we visited Meat Restaurant Tonkii, located in Nakagawa, Hosoe-cho, Hamana Ward, Hamamatsu City.

The restaurant is directly operated by Sanwa Chikusan, a company specializing in pig farming. The menu focuses on pork dishes, including tonkatsu, hamburger steak, and tonteki.

The real highlight is, of course, the delicious pork.

Tonkii originally served Hamanako Sodachi, a branded pork that took first place in the Taste Category of the Meigara Pork Popularity Contest. Today, however, all menu items are made with the even more premium Premium Kinka Vanilla Pork, a high-quality pork prized for its exceptional taste.

Now, let’s take a closer look at Meat Restaurant Tonkii!

What Kind of Restaurant Is Meat Restaurant Tonkii?

Meat Restaurant Tonkii is operated by Sanwa Chikusan, a pig farming company with 57 years of experience in the industry.

The restaurant was opened with the goal of offering the pork raised by the company itself at reasonable prices, allowing more people to enjoy its gentle, mild flavor.

It is a popular restaurant that welcomes up to 300 customers a day at its busiest.

At Sanwa Chikusan, great care is taken in both the pigs’ living environment and the feed they are given, with a strong focus on producing delicious, high-quality pork.

Safe, Additive-Free Feed Made In-House

Based on the idea that, just like humans, “what you eat makes you who you are,” Sanwa Chikusan produces additive-free feed at its own feed mill and uses it to raise its pigs.

The feed is made with locally grown rice, corn, and soybean meal. Pigs raised on this feed develop naturally sweet, flavorful fat, while the starch in the grains adds richness and umami to the meat.

Tonkii’s pork is tender and free from any unpleasant odor, with plenty of flavorful juices. It allows you to fully appreciate the natural deliciousness of the meat itself.

What Is “Premium Kinka Vanilla Pork,” a Top-Quality Black Pork?

“Premium Kinka Vanilla Pork” is a breed of black pork that is raised for approximately 1.3 times longer than conventional pigs.

It carries a gene associated with tender meat, and taste tests have confirmed its tenderness. It also has the characteristics of high-quality fat, making it a particularly prized pork.

Today, Tonkii uses this rare and highly valued Premium Kinka Vanilla Pork in every dish on its menu.

Trying Tonkii’s Signature Favorite: The Tonkii Hamburger Steak Set Meal

At Tonkii, you can enjoy a variety of pork set meals, including Tonkatsu Set, Ginger Pork Set, and Tonteki Set. This time, we ordered one of the restaurant’s classic favorites—the Tonkii Hamburger Steak Set.

Choose One of Two Sauces for Your Hamburger Steak

You can choose from two sauces: Ponzu with Grated Daikon or demi-glace.

This time, we chose the Ponzu with Grated Daikon, which was recommended by the staff!

The hamburger steak is served sizzling hot on a cast-iron plate, accompanied by rice, pork miso soup, and pickles, making for a hearty and satisfying meal.

The hearty pork miso soup is packed with ingredients and, of course, made with delicious pork!

Here’s a look at the inside. Coarsely ground meat and onions are perfectly blended together.

First, we tried it without any sauce.

The natural sweetness of the meat and onions gently melts in your mouth, creating a rich, concentrated flavor.

Next, we added the sauce.

The refreshing flavor of grated daikon combines with the savory richness of the pork, bringing out even more flavor in the Hamburger Steak.

Tonkii Hamburger Steak is made with just coarsely ground pork, onions, and nutmeg, without using any binders such as eggs or flour.

To make it even more delicious, a small amount of homemade rice flour has been added to the Hamburger Steak served since June 2026. This helps lock in the flavorful juices, creating an even richer and more flavorful Hamburger Steak.

“We tested it over and over again to find the perfect amount of rice flour,” a staff member told us.

The rice served with the Hamburger Steak is Specially Cultivated Rice Hosoe Maihime (Koshihikari), grown using nutrient-rich fertilizer made with eel by-products.

This rice has also won an award at the Japan Rice No. 1 Contest. Its natural sweetness pairs perfectly with the pork!

And the best part? You can get free refills of this delicious rice!

All-You-Can-Eat Shredded Cabbage & Sausages

Meat Restaurant Tonkii has a special treat for its guests.

You can enjoy all-you-can-eat shredded cabbage and sausages!

The types of sausages change daily. It’s also a nice touch that you can enjoy them while waiting for your meal to be served.

For orders other than the lunch menu, coffee is also available free of charge with unlimited refills.

Guests who order a lunch menu can enjoy coffee for an additional ¥100.

Seasonal Hamburger Steaks Are Also Popular!

In addition to the Tonkii Hamburger Steak Set we tried, Tonkii also offers the Ume Oroshi Hamburger Steak as a limited-time menu item.

During the winter season, the Tonkii Hamburger Steak with Mushroom Cream Sauce is also available for a limited time.
