Kou-chan Tei
A family-run large-portion Chinese and set meal restaurant in Sakuragawa. Featured on Nippon TV's 'Omou Maai Restaurant' (July 2024). The katsudon has cutlets protruding from the bowl in 'Jenga style,' effectively a double portion. Hand-making some ingredients keeps costs down while maximizing volume. Still maintains local family atmosphere after TV exposure.
Many reviews: 'lines started after the TV feature,' 'the taste is superb and the portions are ridiculous,' and 'worth lining up before opening.' Yahoo Maps 3.76 (34 reviews). Tabelog 3.31, 39 reviews, 9,112 saves. 11-min walk from Iwase Station. Even after TV exposure, maintains simple local atmosphere.
