[Yakitori-no-Ippei Head Office in Muroran] Salty-Sweet Pork Juice and Secret Sauce Is Spreaded over in My Mouth After Eating Muroran Yakitori
CONTENTS
Yakitori-no-Ippei
Yakitori-no-Ippei (やきとりの一平) is a popular Yakitori restaurant run by Ippei Honten corp. in Muroran city. Mr. Kameji Ishizuka (石塚 亀ニ) established it in 1950. The head office is in Nakajima-cho, and some branch restaurants open a business in the Muroran, Sapporo, Date and Noboribetsu. The Yakitori-no-Ippei is well-known for serving Muroran Yakitori (室蘭焼き鳥) called the comfort food of the Muroran, and won twice in National Yakitori Olympics (全国やきとリンピック).
I visited the Head Office around 17:30 on a weekday. The restaurant with the retro style interior decoration was already crowded with a lot of customers. Counter seats and table seats are provided, so I guess that even family customers enjoy meals. By the way, Express Muroran-go (高速むろらん号), an express bus, runs between Sapporo and the Muroran, and Express Hayabusa (高速はやぶさ号), an express bus, runs between New Chitose Airport and the Muroran. Besides, Rent-a-car can be rented around Higashi-muroran Station.

Muroran Yakitori
I sat a counter seat, and read a menu. But I did not find letters of the Muroran Yakitori. I wonder if I made a mistake with different restaurant, and got impatient. So I asked a waiter, and he replied me "Grilled pork is the Muroran Yakitori". I asked him about recommendation successively. Furthermore, He said "We recommend Grilled Toro Pork and Tsukune (pork meatloaf made with egg)". I ordered those. By the way, the Muroran Yakitori is one of the 7 most famous yakitori in Japan together with Bibai Yakitori (美唄焼き鳥) in Hokkaido, Fukushima Yakitori (ふくしま焼き鳥) in Fukushima, Higashi-mastuyama Yakitori (東松山やきとり) in Saitama, Imabari Yakitori (今治焼き鳥) in Ehime, Nagato Yakitori (長門やきとり) in Yamagushi and Kuruma Yakitori (久留米やきとり) in Fukuoka.
The Muroran Yakitori is grilled pork with onions on a skewer. Customers put mustard on it, and eat it. Originally, chicken and green oinons were expensive in old days, so the pork and the onions were substituted for the chicken and the green oinons. A pair of the pork and the onions was loved by Muroran people, so The Muroran Yakitori spread out the Muroran. Secret sauce pouring the Muroran Yakitori was served at this restaurant. The salty-sweet pork juice spread in my mouth when I ate it. The Grilled Toro Pork and the Tsukune also were tasty! Finally a butter soaked into roasted rice ball (焼きおにぎり) was ordered, and it was tasty, too. Thanks for the tasty meals!
