What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A tonkatsu specialty restaurant housed in a 125-year-old registered cultural property farmhouse. Using 'Yoshikawa pork' raised by the owner's father in clean water and air of Yoshikawa district, the slow low-temperature frying creates uniquely white-coated cutlets. Praised as 'top-class nationwide,' customers travel 3 hours just to taste this dish. Dinner is reservation-only.

Customers rave: 'The pork umami seeps out slowly,' 'Worth traveling 3 hours for,' 'Top-class tonkatsu nationwide.' The tenderness and sweetness of Yoshikawa pork stands out, paired with 3 house-made sauces. Google Maps 4.45, Tabelog 93 reviews 3.52.
