Visit records from February 2026 confirm ongoing operations.
Overwhelming support from local regulars.
No PR campaigns.
The flagship loin cutlet set at 990 yen is praised as 'impossibly good for the price.' Kamata is the holy land of tonkatsu thanks to Maruichi and Aoki, but Tatsumi is close to their level in local esteem.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-standing tonkatsu and hot-pot restaurant in the Sunrise Shopping Street near Kamata's west exit. Highly regarded locally behind only the 'Big Two' (Maruichi and Aoki) in the ultra-competitive Kamata tonkatsu scene. Uses Akan pork from Hokkaido, pan-fried then finished in an oven, producing thin, exceptionally crispy breading. The signature loin cutlet set is an astonishing 990 yen. Packed daily with local regulars — a true people's classic.

Reviewers say 'I can't believe this quality for 990 yen,' 'this is on par with the Big Three of Kamata,' and 'there's a reassuring sense of history from being here so long.' 102 Tabelog reviews (score used as reference only). Visit records from February 2026 confirm continued operations.
