📜 Restaurant Details
Tofu Pork Cutlet Stew is made by stuffing domestic ground pork into tofu, then deep-frying it before simmering it with egg mixture in a clay pot. Since its debut in 1995, it has received numerous accolades, and the dish, which has become a well-known delicacy in Gora, was invented by the main branch of "Tamura Ginkatsutei," which has four locations in Hakone.
The Tofu Pork Cutlet Stew uses a special ground tofu made from "Hakone Silver Tofu," famous for its "Syakuri Tofu." It absorbs the sweet flavor of the mackerel and bonito broth, making it both sweet and salty, perfect for rice. Its nutritional health benefits are also one of the reasons for its popularity. In addition to the Tofu Pork Cutlet Stew, there are other dishes made with domestically sourced pork, such as regular fried pork cutlets, fried horse mackerel tofu skin caught near Odawara, and fried perch from Lake Ashi, among a variety of rich dishes.
The restaurant features high-ceilinged table seating and traditional tatami seating favored by customers with small children, creating a serene Japanese atmosphere. It is conveniently located near Gora Station, accessible by the Hakone Tozan Railway and the Hakone Tozan Cable Car, making it a must-visit culinary destination during your trip to Hakone.
