◆Visit Rating 4.10 Ranked 3rd in Japan for Tonkatsu Ranked 1st in Osaka for Tonkatsu Michelin Bib Gourmand Teriyaki Silver ◆About the Restaurant This is a reservation-only specialty tonkatsu restaurant featuring branded pork, run by a former French chef. Originally associated with Rohto Pharmaceutical, the chef developed menus using Pine Pork, but has no prior experience training in a tonkatsu shop. A la carte items are discounted by JPY 300, and cabbage is included. Reservations open on the 10th of each month at 10 PM for the following month. ◆Impressions I visited after making a reservation through TableCheck. The atmosphere inside is cozy, with only 7 counter seats, and the service was warm and welcoming. Prices are generally reasonable, but they also offer some very high-quality pork. I started with the recommended chicken breast and minced cutlet, which regulars always order. The chicken breast was light yet surprisingly rare, bursting with flavor. The minced cutlet was juicy and enticing, with its delicious fat oozing out. This was incredibly tasty and, in terms of satisfaction, the highlight of the day. The rib roast was rich in fat and exceptionally delicious. The Chiba Hayashi SPF red meat was simply outstanding, with a unique flavor that was in a league of its own. It was among the best tonkatsu I’ve ever had. ◆Meal Cost (tax included) JPY 6700 for 2 people ◆Items Ordered (food only, tax included) ✔︎✔︎ Chicken Breast JPY 500 Here, I really enjoyed the delicious batter, which had a hint of sweetness—was it just the batter that made it so good? ✔︎✔︎✔︎ Minced Cutlet JPY 500 Creamy and incredibly delicious. ✔︎✔︎ Rib Roast A la Carte (without rice and red miso) JPY 2850 Rich in fat. ✔︎✔︎✔︎ Chiba Hayashi SPF Set Meal JPY 2850 Tender and bursting with the deliciousness of red meat.
