Tonkatsu Tonpachi
Founded in 1983, this miso katsu specialist is a 5-minute walk from Tsurumai Station. The owner trained at a famous Nagoya restaurant before opening independently. Known for a gentle miso sauce using Hatcho miso with no artificial seasonings, this beloved local gem draws lines before opening.
Praised by both locals and visitors: 'Worth lining up before opening,' 'Perfect miso sauce—not too sweet, not too spicy,' 'Pork cutlet almost too tender.' Consistent quality over 40+ years earns loyal repeat customers.
