Question 4

What is Iberico pork?

Accepted Answer

Iberico pork comes from black pigs raised on the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). They roam free-range for up to 2 years on a natural diet of herbs, grass, roots, and acorns. The result: meat with deeper reddish colour, higher fat content, and a distinctive nutty flavour unlike any other pork. Iberico Bellota (the highest grade, from acorn-fed pigs) is often called 'the wagyu of pork.' Gochi-So Shokudo imports Bellota grade directly from Spain.

Question 5

What should I order?

Accepted Answer

Must-tries: (1) Iberico Pork Jowl Don (S$13.50) — charcoal-grilled jowl with onsen egg over rice. The jowl is the most flavourful cut. (2) Iberico Black Char Siew Don (S$11.50) — sweet charred finish. (3) Signature Loin Katsu Set — crispy tonkatsu with the nutty Iberico flavour. For cheese lovers: Truffle Cheese Mille Feuille Katsu (S$18.90) — layers of pork, mushroom, and cheese.

Question 6

Is Gochi-So Shokudo halal?

Accepted Answer

No. Not halal-certified. Pork is the entire concept. For halal Japanese at Millenia Walk: Yoshinoya (#01-106, halal gyudon). For halal at Suntec: Sukiya, Pepper Lunch, Ichikokudo.

Question 7

What is binchotan charcoal?

Accepted Answer

Binchotan (備長炭) is premium Japanese white charcoal made from ubame oak. It burns at extremely high temperatures (over 1,000°C) with minimal smoke and no chemical odour. The result: clean, intense heat that sears the Iberico pork surface quickly while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Binchotan grilling is a Japanese culinary tradition used in high-end yakitori and yakiniku restaurants.

Question 8

What are the opening hours?

Accepted Answer

Monday to Thursday, Sunday: 11:30am–9pm. Friday and Saturday: 11:30am–9:30pm. Walk-in only, no reservations.

Question 9

How does Gochi-So compare to Saboten?

Accepted Answer

Both at Millenia Walk, both serve tonkatsu, but fundamentally different. Gochi-So = Iberico pork (Spanish, nutty, rich), charcoal-grilled donburi + katsu. Saboten = Premium Japanese pork katsu, free-flow rice/miso/cabbage, Tokyo heritage since 1966. Gochi-So is more casual and affordable (from S$9.80). Saboten is more traditional and premium (from S$23). Choose Gochi-So for Iberico pork and donburi variety. Choose Saboten for classic tonkatsu ritual.

Question 10

Is Gochi-So Shokudo a Japanese chain?

Accepted Answer

No. Gochi-So Shokudo is a Singaporean homegrown brand founded in 2019. It applies Japanese cooking techniques (binchotan charcoal, tonkatsu frying, donburi presentation) to Spanish Iberico pork — a fusion concept unique to Singapore. The parent company controls the Iberico pork supply chain directly, importing from Spanish purveyors, which allows them to offer premium Bellota-grade pork at casual dining prices.
