Takakura
A 20-seat gem run by a husband and wife since 1999. Widely regarded as Yokkaichi's top-tier Tonteki and Tonkatsu. Expect 1+ hour waits on weekends. Featured on TV show 'Sekkaku Gourmet.' Note: Tonteki not served on Saturdays (tonkatsu only).
Reviews include 'possibly the best in Mie Prefecture,' 'lines form before opening on weekends,' and 'the tender meat and refined sauce are outstanding.'
