Fake reviews removed

Established in 1980, this is Kasukabe's representative tonkatsu specialty restaurant. The head chef, who trained in French cuisine, brings the meticulous craft of French cooking to tonkatsu: pork is cut to order, then double-fried using two different breadcrumbs. The miso is hand-prepared by the owner over 10 months, and cabbage is hand-sliced. Tabelog 3.53, 165 reviews, 4,577 saves; Yahoo! Maps 4.1. Reviews like '51st visit—unchanged flavor' and '4th visit, I'm a complete fan now' confirm an endless stream of loyal regulars. A true Kasukabe institution.

"51st visit—unchanged flavor. The consistency of this place is extraordinary." "The fillet tonkatsu is surprisingly tender; a refined umami spreads with every bite." "My 4th visit and I'm a complete fan. Undeniably a landmark in Kasukabe." "Eating their takeout tonkatsu at the office is pure happiness." "A French-trained chef's tonkatsu—unbelievable craftsmanship at this price point."
