Jingisukan Anbe
The original “Tono Jingisukan” restaurant.
A jingisukan specialty restaurant with over 70 years of history, located just across the Hayase River from JR Tono Station.
Jingisukan is often strongly associated with Hokkaido, but it’s also popular in Tono, Iwate Prefecture. Per-capita lamb consumption here rivals Hokkaido. As the originator of “Tono Jingisukan,” this is a well-known spot visited by many guests every day.
The secret sauce is a big reason for its popularity. Refreshing and spicy with a tangy kick, it brings out the best in the meat. Unchanged since the restaurant first opened, the flavor never gets old, and it’s said to make not only grilled lamb but even vegetables taste better.
Another highlight is their commitment to how the meat is cut. Veteran craftsmen carefully remove sinew and trim everything by hand, achieving a juiciness and tenderness that machine cutting can’t replicate.
Lunch also features a great selection of set meals, making it easy to choose based on your budget and appetite.
