Katsuhisa Muan Maebashi Honten
Located along Route 50 in a traditional farmhouse relocated from Kashiwazaki, Niigata (over 120 years old). This long-established tonkatsu restaurant carefully fries carefully selected pork in crispy batter, with unlimited refills of rice, salad, and miso soup—a generous service beloved by locals. In Maebashi, it's so famous that people say 'for tonkatsu, it's Katsuhisa.' Weekend lunches fill up around noon. Tabelog 3.53, 242 reviews. 100 seats. Currently operating only at the Maebashi Honten (Yokohama Takashimaya and Takasaki locations have closed).
"When it comes to tonkatsu in Maebashi, this is the place. I've been coming for years." "Crispy batter and juicy meat—you can't stop going back for more rice." "Including the old farmhouse atmosphere, it's the representative Maebashi restaurant." "There's a line on weekends, but it's worth it." "The restaurant my parents brought me to since I was a child."
