| - Came with a girlfriend in the evening, and despite it being prime dinner time, we were able to be seated relatively quickly. The menu is very straight forward, and let me tell you, if you don't want tonkatsu, then you turn around and leave. While there are some non-katsu items, almost everyone comes here for that one thing.The katsu sets come with your choice of battered meat, as well as bottomless miso soup, rice, and cabbage salad.
We tried the pork loin and chicken katsu, and were not disappointed. The katsu batter is so crunchy without being oily, while the meat manages to stay juicy and tender. This is almost some sort of witchcraft.
And then there is the novel part of the meal, where you prepare your own dipping sauce. Each person is provided a dish with some sesame, and instructions to grind the seeds with a mortar and pestle, before finally adding it to the tonkatsu sauce. I must say the roasted sesame did give it a nice flavour.
Restaurant was clean, service was quick, and did I mention there was a CHEESE-FILLED tonkatsu? Honestly, there isn't much to complain about, and I will definitely be back.
