Butagumi

By January 15, 2015 Foodie, Travel No Comments

James has been talking about this place for many years and finally we were able to get a reservation!  JC Bernardo told us about this and about the pigs that look like sheep 🙂 They are called Mangalitsa, Mangalitza or Mangalica  ( photo from www.becuo.com ).  It’s a natural breed of pigs from Europe that are descended directly from….wild boar populations.  The Mangalitsa pig is unusual as it grows a hairy fleece akin to that of sheep.  It was a pity they did not have it that day we ate there.  A good reason to come back because we love Butagumi

It’s in a residential area which felt secluded but later on I found out it is by Omotesando area- just keep going straight up to the road of Omotesando.  So you can say it is nearby a favourite Tonkatsu place, Maisen Butagumi (2)

There are plenty choices of Tonkatsu, around 50 kinds, but not all are available everyday. They have Tenderloin-taste light, flavourful, taste rich or taste super rich.  Or Sirloin- taste light, flavourful, taste rich or juicy and taste super rich  Butagumi (3)
