Misokatsu Sanwa
Founded in 1963. After the founder's passing, his daughter took over and reopened in 2017 in Gifu's Yanagase area (Kamimurocho). This famous miso katsu shop blends Hacho miso and Shinshu white miso into a sweet, rich sauce topped with sansho pepper—widely hailed as 'Gifu's No.1 miso katsu.' The crispy breading and light miso sauce that draws out the fat and umami of the meat are perfectly balanced. 20 seats, no reservations, may close early when sold out. Tabelog 3.57 (189 reviews).
