What is Tontoro?
Tontoro (豚トロ) is fatty pork jowl from Japan, richly marbled with a melt-in-your-mouth quality that rivals premium Wagyu. The name combines "ton" (pork) and "toro" (fatty cut), reflecting its luxurious fat content. This 1.6–1.8lb portion is ideal for yakiniku, grilling, or thinly sliced preparations where the fat renders beautifully over high heat.

I like this cut of pork - good ratio of fat to meat. I usually marinate this for several days in a mixture of yellow/white miso, sake, mirin and sugar before broiling.
Unlike other store bought pork bellies, this does not have a peculiar smell, so it is not necessary to spice it up. I usually enjoy the original taste of ingredients in cooking so this is important. The only complaint, small one, is that i need to slice them for storage before freezing again. Excellent product. I think an American store sells the same meat (Regalis Foods), but this is not always available.
