Gotchton (ごちとん), a specialty shop for tonjiru (Japanese pork miso soup) set meals, opens "Gotchton Ecute Omiya" (ごちとん エキュート大宮店) at Ecute Omiya on Friday, November 13, 2026. The shop opens at 7:00 AM and is the brand's first store inside a station. It is operated by フィルドテーブル株式会社, a subsidiary of Arcland Service Holdings (アークランドサービスホールディングス株式会社) that also runs brands such as 東京たらこスパゲティ.
Unlike the brand's existing stores, the Omiya store takes on a new approach tailored to its in-station location and to passengers using trains and Shinkansen. The tonjiru flavors are narrowed down to barley miso and salt-based, newly developed freshly made miso onigiri are served to go with the soup, and the takeout menu has been expanded for meals on the move or at the start of a trip.
Tonjiru in Barley Miso and Salt-Based Flavors
The tonjiru lineup is limited to "barley miso" and "salt-based" flavors, which highlight the savory flavor of the ingredients and the broth.
Limited-time fair menus are scheduled to start from January.
Freshly Made Miso Onigiri in 10 Varieties
The shop serves freshly made miso onigiri meant to be enjoyed with the tonjiru. These miso onigiri are exclusive to the Omiya store. The miso onigiri comes on a sheet of nori, and customers wrap it themselves so they can enjoy warm rice together with the crisp aroma of the nori. Each onigiri is packed generously so that filling comes with the very first bite.
There are 10 original varieties from Gotchton, such as salmon miso and kombu miso, in which the fillings themselves are miso-flavored. Seasonal limited-time varieties are also planned. In the morning only, the conventional "miso yaki-onigiri" (grilled miso onigiri) is also available.
Takeout Menu
In addition to regular miso onigiri for takeout, the shop sells a bento with two miso onigiri, a mini tonjiru, and pickles. The portion is adjusted to be "just the right amount" so that travelers do not get too full as they might with an ekiben (station bento), making it suitable for eating on the train or at the start of a trip.
Opening Campaign: Mini Tonjiru for ¥100
To celebrate the opening, a mini tonjiru (¥100 including tax) is offered for three days, from Friday, November 13 to Sunday, November 15, to customers who order a takeout miso onigiri.
