Takeda
Selected for Tabelog Top 100 Tonkatsu 2021 and 2019. A sauce katsudon specialist run directly by a butcher shop. The jumbo sauce katsudon with 250g Shinshu SPF pork ribeye is stunning in both volume and quality. Horse sashimi also outstanding given the butcher shop's sourcing. Tabelog 3.75, 585 reviews - top-class in Nagano Prefecture. Long queues of both locals and tourists.
Reviews consistently note: 'highest rated katsudon in Nagano Prefecture on Tabelog,' 'amazed by the Jumbo Katsudon's size,' 'completely different meat quality because it's run by a butcher,' 'horse sashimi is also excellent,' 'always a queue at lunchtime.' Consistent praise.
