Jingisukan

The dish is particularly popular on the northern island of Hokkaidō and in China.

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.

[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 Tokyo, 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.
