Shonan specialty: Chigasaki Menchi
kabushikikaisyanandoki (Kanagawa)
“Shonan specialty: Chigasaki Menchi” is a menchi-katsu made by a restaurant using high-quality domestic pork, characterized by its juicy meatiness and spicy flavor. Founded in 1970, kabushikikaisyanandoki developed this product using a unique method to effectively utilize surplus local pork, and it has been loved by the community for many years. In the manufacturing process, a blend of domestic pork shoulder, chuck, thigh, and neck is used, and onions are carefully sautéed until caramelized to achieve a complex and deep flavor. The method of utilizing surplus meat is a differentiating factor from other stores, and it has officially been recognized for its high quality by winning three prestigious awards: the Kanagawa Food Battle Gold Prize, the Kanagawa Gourmet Festa Grand Prix, and the Kanagawa Gourmet Contest Gold Prize. Since its founding, the company has evolved into a business model of Japanese kaiseki and ranch cuisine, with the philosophy of delivering the intrinsic value of ingredients to consumers. Currently, it offers three varieties—plain, cheese, and tomato—as frozen foods, achieving freshness preservation through freezing and nationwide delivery. After leaving the store that had been in operation for 55 years, the company was able to start anew at the food court of the Shonan Chigasaki Roadside Station, which opened on July 7, Reiwa 7 (2025). In terms of sales, the supply as frozen food continues, and it is available at Aeon, service areas, local supermarkets, and other locations, allowing families to easily enjoy authentic flavors at home.
