Tonkatsu Taro
The originator of Niigata's signature dish: tare katsudon. A simple bowl of freshly fried cutlet (without egg) topped with sweet-savory sauce over rice. A Showa-era institution and soul food for Niigata residents. Takeout available.
Customers say: 'An absolute must-eat when visiting Niigata.' 'The tare sauce makes this dish.' 'Cheap, delicious, and generous portions.' High praise from both locals and tourists.
