What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A legendary tonkatsu restaurant a 10-minute walk from Matsudo Station's west exit, exuding a Showa-era atmosphere. Selected for Tabelog Tonkatsu Top 100 in 2022, 2024, and 2026, with over 15,684 saves. Its signature crispy, chunky breadcrumb coating is what sets it apart. Locals unanimously call it 'the go-to tonkatsu place in Matsudo.' No reservations accepted, yet regulars queue up for both lunch and dinner. Cash only.

"The only place for tonkatsu in Matsudo." "That chunky coating is unforgettable." "Been coming for decades—prices haven't changed, thankfully." "Always a queue but absolutely worth the wait."
