WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
A 12-seat tonkatsu shop in Awajicho that has been kept alive by the founder's wife following his sudden passing, drawing a steady queue of local office workers at lunchtime every day since 2007.
2007年の創業後、店主急逝という試練を経て奥様が守り続ける淡路町の小さなとんかつ店で、12席という限られた空間に昼時は行列が絶えない。
The katsudon at 1,850 yen — tonkatsu fried in sesame oil, crowned with a perfectly half-set egg — earned a place in Tabelog's Tonkatsu Hyakumeiten 2024, and regulars insist the quality for the price is simply unfair.
ごま油で揚げたとんかつに絶妙な半熟卵を重ねたかつ丼1,850円は食べログとんかつ百名店2024にも選ばれた一皿で、「淡路町でこの味この値段は異常」という声がすべてを物語っている。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed1 min from Awajicho Station. Opened 2007. After the founder's sudden passing, his wife carries on as the 2nd-generation owner at this 12-seat shop. Tonkatsu fried in fragrant sesame oil for a juicy finish.
"Not greasy at all, no heaviness in the stomach." "One of Tokyo's best katsudon." "The warmth of the owner running it all by herself." Widely praised.
