I sometimes go to "Saibokuhamu" in Hidaka City, a very delicious ham, sausage and meat shop in Saitama Prefecture, just between Kawagoe and Sayama City. The grounds are quite spacious and there is a meat shop (mainly pork) which offers other agricultural products as well, a restaurant, a small pleasure ground and a hot spring bath. The ham and sausages of this shop have won many medals at the international food quality competition of the German Agricultural Society (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft). The restaurant also serves the delicious roasted pork and I can only highly recommend it (an English language brochure is available, too). There is a bus service from Seibu railway Sayamashi Station once the hour; however it is probably most convenient to go there by car.

Saiboku Ham and Meat Shop in Hidaka
Shop and restaurant with outstanding food in Saitama

Community writer

The pork cutlet is really delicious here; I would even say outstanding.

The inside of the restaurant

Draft beer is on offer too, which goes very well with the meat dishes.

Nice terrace in front of the shops

Entrance of the restaurant

The shop's Vienna sausages rate high at a competitive show in Germany.

Everyday this shop is opened in July.

The pork cutlet looks so good!
We can choose a fillet cutlet or a pork loin cutlet.

I love a good piece of ham and can't wait to visit Saibokuham! Thanks for sharing.
It is very crowded on the weekend.
