I revisited this place for the first time in 7 years on Wednesday morning at 8:40 AM! I signed in and returned at 6 PM! Here, sign-ins start at 8:30 AM! Be careful, as you might not be able to eat if you just show up! ◆ Tabelog rating: an astonishing "3.99" ⚫︎ National Tonkatsu Tabelog Ranking: 7th out of 6,979 ⚫︎ Osaka Prefecture Tonkatsu Tabelog Ranking: 3rd out of 498 ⚫︎ Awarded Tabelog Silver for four consecutive years from 2020 to 2023 ⚫︎ Bronze awards in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2024, 2025, and 2026 ⚫︎ Selected as one of the top 100 restaurants in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2026 The expectations are skyrocketing! ◆ Order Summary * TOKYO-X and Himuro pork were sold out * You can refill rice for free up to three times * Mustard and soy sauce are available on the table (1) Supreme Tonkatsu Assortment: JPY 4,060 Super Golden Pork & Premium Tenderloin Tonkatsu * Served with black charcoal salt and truffle salt! ① Super Golden Pork Loin The surface is incredibly fine, with moist and tender red meat beautifully marbled! One bite reveals a light, crispy coating with the juiciness of the loin's fat, which is pure white and not greasy at all, offering a refined texture and deep richness—it's shockingly delicious! The quality is on another level! When dipped in white truffle salt or black charcoal salt, the natural sweetness of the meat and the flavor of the fat are enhanced to perfection! ② Premium Tenderloin Tonkatsu First of all, the visual is stunning! Despite being a thick cut, it retains a beautiful pink color inside, perfectly juicy with exquisite cooking! Amazing! One bite reveals an astonishing tenderness with an incredibly fine texture that melts in your mouth, and the moderate fat content releases a sweet aroma as it dissolves—it's shockingly delicious! This is by far the best tenderloin cutlet I've ever had! It's just incredible! The quality is astounding! Dipping it lightly in white truffle salt brings out the meat's natural flavors and sweetness to the maximum—it's the best! ③ Nanshu Black Pork M 160g: JPY 2,980 The muscle fibers are very fine, making the meat extremely tender, and when you bite into it, juicy meat juices burst out—it's unbelievably delicious! The exquisite cooking (a skillful use of residual heat) ensures there's no dryness, and when dipped in sauce, it's so delicious that you can't stop eating rice! ④ Set Meal: JPY 730 Includes rice (free refills up to three times), salad, miso soup, and pickles The salad can be enjoyed with either olive oil and salt or dressing! You can also refill the salad for free! ◆ Overall Evaluation Total Amount: JPY 7,770 All the branded pork was incredibly fresh and delicious, providing a fantastic experience that left me extremely satisfied! The skillful cooking (a masterful use of residual heat) truly brings out the flavors of the branded pork to the fullest—it's truly remarkable! The quality of each dish is on another level! The attentiveness of the chef and the staff's exceptional service and hospitality left no room for complaints! I was blown away by the ultimate loin cutlet, ranked 3rd in Osaka's tonkatsu Tabelog! It was moving! If you come to Yao City, this is definitely a place you must visit! I'm really glad I came! I'll be back! It was a great meal!
