Jingisukan
Jingisukan (ジンギスカン, "Hokkaidō and in China.
History
Jingisukan, originating from the Japanese transliteration of
Hokkaidō, where it has been a popular blue-collar dish that has only recently[when?] gained nationwide popularity. The name Jingisukan is thought to have been invented by Sapporo-born Tokuzo Komai, who was inspired by the grilled mutton dishes of Northeastern Chinese cuisine. The first written mention of the dish under this name was in 1931.[1][2]
In 1918, according to the plan by the Japanese government to increase the flock to one million sheep, five sheep farms were established in Japan. However, all of them were demolished except in Hokkaido (Takikawa and Tsukisamu).[3] Because of this, Hokkaido's residents began eating the meat from sheep that they sheared for their wool.
There is a dispute over from where the dish originated; candidates include
Zaō Onsen, and Tōno.[4] The first jingisukan dedicated restaurant was a Jingisu-sō (成吉思荘, "Genghis House") that opened in Tokyo in 1936.[5]
