Restaurant Izumiya Sohonten (Originator of Spakkatsu)
Founded in 1959, this Kushiro institution invented 'Spakkatsu' — meat sauce spaghetti topped with pork cutlet, served sizzling on a hot iron plate. Certified as a 'Century Food' by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2023. Voted No.1 taste Kushiro citizens would save if only one could remain, three years running. 110 seats, great for families.
'Kushiro soul food.' 'The sizzling iron plate is impressive.' 'Amazing value at 1,320 yen for this portion.' 'Lost count of how many times I've returned.' 'Local regulars eating alone — a true neighborhood staple.'
