What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

An impossibly tiny 6-counter-seat tonkatsu restaurant, 1-min walk from JR Suita Station. Opened as a sister location of Kitashinchi's Michelin-listed 'epais,' it has been a beloved Suita institution for over 10 years. Carefully selected pork — including Koshu Fujizakura and Yamagata breeds — yields cutlets described as having 'unbelievable juiciness.' Tabelog 3.64/404 reviews, Yahoo! Maps 4.22. Consecutive selections for Tonkatsu 100 Best in 2022, 2024, and 2026.

Reviews: 'Unreal juiciness,' 'Kitashinchi quality in Suita,' '6 counter seats create a perfect focus on the katsu,' 'want to come back.' Tabelog 3.64/404 reviews, Yahoo 4.22. Tonkatsu 100 Best 2022, 2024, 2026. No closure or relocation.
