Tonkatsu Katsukichi
A beloved tonkatsu specialist in Tsuchiura's Tanaka district with overwhelming local support. Uses Ibaraki-brand 'Bimei-ton SPF' pork — clean fat, sweet, tender. The 250g thick-cut loin cutlet for around ¥2,000 is exceptional value. Free refills on rice, cabbage, pickles, and pork soup. TripAdvisor rating 4.0, Tabelog 3.40. A classic tonkatsu restaurant loved by everyone from local students to families.
