Located in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, Japanese Restaurant Yukimoto is renowned for its specialty “Chiyogenton Oyaki,” a traditional Japanese dumpling filled with the rare Chiyogenton pork. This exceptional pork is produced exclusively by Okamoto Farm, where the late craftsman Mutsumi Okamoto dedicated over 25 years to reviving the Middle Yorkshire breed, once prevalent in Japan during the 1950s. His relentless pursuit of flavor and quality led to the creation of Chiyogenton, a pork celebrated for its rich umami and tender texture. 
Yukimoto’s commitment to excellence has earned it the prestigious Gold Award in The Tabelog Award 2024, making it the only restaurant in Nagano Prefecture to receive this honor.  This accolade reflects the restaurant’s dedication to culinary artistry and its use of premium local ingredients. The exceptional quality of Chiyogenton pork has attracted food enthusiasts from across Japan and around the world, with Yukimoto being featured in various international media outlets.
Traditionally, the Chiyogenton Oyaki was available exclusively to patrons dining at Yukimoto. However, in response to popular demand, this exquisite delicacy is now offered through our online shop.
