The restaurant looks like a private house, but the warm welcome at the entrance is exceptional. The interior feels like a cozy living room, providing a relaxing atmosphere! They’ve created a very comfortable space, truly a hallmark of a renowned establishment. Although the ordering process has changed a bit, the signature tonkatsu remains consistently impressive every time I visit. I can’t wait to go back! ------------- ▶︎ Salmon Crackers I always think about these crackers when they arrive! A refined dish that’s perfect for waiting. ▶︎ Tonjiru (Pork Soup) & Rice & Salad I always feel that these sides enhance the tonkatsu experience. The rice is sweet, and the tonjiru has a gentle yet rich flavor! The salad has a mild acidity that refreshes the palate. ◆ Coating This coating is a signature feature! It’s coarser but has a light, crispy texture, absorbing the meat juices, making it delicious even when it’s slightly soggy. While there are similar places, this coating feels authentic. ▶︎ Mille-Feuille Katsu Juicy meat juices burst out, making it delicious. The meat melts in your mouth! It pairs well with sweet chili sauce, delivering a rich flavor. ▶︎ Loin Katsu This one is moist while allowing the flavor of the fat to shine through—truly exquisite! As expected, it’s tender, and the balance between lean meat and fat is outstanding. ▶︎ Shabuta (Pork Tenderloin) This is a flavor you can only find here. Juicy and overflowing with meat juices, the natural taste of the meat is superb! From here, you can choose when making a reservation! ▶︎ Ebi Fry (Fried Shrimp) Served with special tartar sauce. Large, plump, and crispy! The tartar sauce has a mild egg flavor and acidity, allowing the shrimp’s taste to shine. ▶︎ Hamo Fry (Fried Pike Eel) I enjoyed this with salt! It has a light, pleasant texture and great flavor. Delicate yet refined, the crispy coating is very tasty. ⭐︎ Katsu Sandwich JPY 2000 After some time, the texture becomes moist, and the flavor pairs excellently with the sweetness of the sauce! As you can see, it’s incredibly delicious.
