Japan Food Report: The Toriko Gyūdon

Toriko Gyūdon Sukiya

The Toriko inspired Gyudon (Japanese marinated beef on rice) is now on sale at Sukiya stores nationwide! This is coinciding with the release new Toriko film Toriko the Movie: Bishokushin's Special Menu.


Toriko is a popular manga/anime series about a incredibly strong "Gourmet Hunter" searching for the most precious foods in the world so he can create his full-course meal.

Sukiya is a popular restaurant chain which is known for their gyudon with over 1000 stores nationwide.

A manga about food and a restaurant seems like a good combination whilst also setting a high bar, so I went to have one for myself.

Nailed it...

Despite the fact that it doesn't look anything like the poster pictures, the taste was quite good. It is basically a normal gyudon topped with mayonnaise, cabbage, katsuobushi flakes, nori flakes, and a raw egg, which are the ingredients of an Okonomiyaki (a Japanese vegetable omelet). The flavors all work together to create a balance and for 390 yen (around $3.50US), its a bargain gourmet fast food.

Also with every purchase ,you get a ticket for a chance to win a special mini Toriko rice bowl.

Haven't read the manga or seen the film so I have no idea who this is...
If you are in Japan and feel a little peckish and wanting a chance to win a rice bowl, I highly recommend you head down to our local Sukiya!
