What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A tonkatsu specialty restaurant founded in 1975, a 10-minute walk from Kanazawa Station's West Exit in Kitayasue. The highlight is rice made from 100% Ishikawa Prefecture grain cooked in a proper wood-fired hearth inside the restaurant — locals say 'the rice is even better than the tonkatsu.' Tonkatsu lunch using Gunma-Prefecture Queen Pork is 979 yen with free refills on rice, cabbage, and miso soup — unmatched value in Kanazawa. Ranked #1 for tonkatsu in Ishikawa on Tabelog; TripAdvisor 4.3/5; Yahoo 4.1. Reservations essential; queues before opening. 62 seats, yet fills up instantly at lunch.

Common reviews: 'If you want tonkatsu in Kanazawa, this is the only choice,' 'The wood-fire hearth rice is on another level,' 'This quality for 979 yen is unbelievable,' 'I lined up 15 minutes before opening and there were already 10+ people,' 'The owner gave me a free katsu-sando.' TripAdvisor 4.3/22 reviews, Yahoo 4.1, Tabelog 3.47/226 reviews.
