Tonkatsu Mitsukura
Opened in September 2020, this tonkatsu specialty restaurant in the Hisai area is hugely popular. Using Mie Prefecture's 'Ise Minori' pork slow-fried at low temperature, each cutlet achieves a crispy exterior with moist, juicy interior. The Mie Koshihikari rice is also exceptional. Ranked #1 in Mie Prefecture for tonkatsu by Google review rankings. Despite only 17 seats, lines never stop forming.
