Japan’s N<饭种类众多。炸得酥脆的天N<、饱足感十足的猪排N<、新鲜的生鱼片N<...各种配料均有人喜欢。札幌市区内有间创业于1970年的“まむろ”，则是专精于猪肉N<饭，也是当地的超人气餐厅。

With just a few counter seats and tatami mats, along with decorative calligraphy on the walls, Mamuro has the cozy feel of homemade cooking. Currently, the restaurant is jointly run by the second-generation owner and the original founder. N<饭区分为猪N<、肉质较好的上猪N<，以及分量加大1.5倍的特豚N<。单纯的菜单，看得出对于自家N<饭的自信。

As soon as you’re seated, the aroma wafting from the kitchen is enough to whet your appetite. The Special Pork N<上桌，堆得尖的白饭上铺满着猪肉片，带来视觉与嗅觉的双重刺激。咬一口肉片，厚薄适中但略干，不过特制的独门酱汁咸中带着淡淡甘甜味，并利用微呛的调味粉增加口味层次，不仅让人食欲大开，酱汁也为肉片裹上一层油润滋味，中和了口感，轻轻松松就扒好几口饭。

▲Even the regular portion of Pork N<，也能吃到扑满整晚的猪肉片。

The freshly cooked rice, with each grain distinct and not sticky, tastes sweet on its own, but becomes even more flavorful after absorbing the pork fat and sauce. A simple pickled cabbage side dish, refreshing in taste, also makes the perfect accompaniment to the pork N<中场休息站。整体而言，就如店家名片上所注：一吃就上瘾！
