Butadon

Butadon is a Japanese dish consisting of a bowl of rice that is topped with sliced fatty pork cooked in a slightly sweet soy sauce. Other common toppings include green peas and onions. The name butadon is derived from two words – buta, meaning pork, and don, meaning bowl, so the dish can be translated as pork bowl. It originated in Obihiro, and most sources credit Mr. Abe from the Pancho restaurant with its invention, who supposedly created it in 1933 because he wanted the Japanese people to consume more pork.
