"Jingisukan Daruma Honten" opened in 1954. Jingisukan is a phonetic spelling of Genghis Khan, and Daruma's Jingisukan has also come to be known as Susukino's specialty. The restaurant is open daily with the goal of remaining unchanged for those who come to enjoy the taste of this long-established restaurant.
The Jingisukan here uses fresh mutton every day and cuts it by a craftsman just before the store opens. The mutton has a unique flavor, which is enhanced by the owner's special sauce, which she has prepared by hand since the establishment of the restaurant.
If you ask for it, you can get hojicha tea, and this hojicha tea and ochazuke (rice with green tea) with sauce that absorbs the umami of the Jingisukan is so good that it has become a hidden specialty. Another specialty is kimchi, which is also prepared by the proprietress. It goes well with meat and beer, and some people even add it to ochazuke.
