What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1987, this tonkatsu specialist has been loved in Kariya's Takasu district for over 38 years. The open kitchen lets you watch the chef fry selected brand pork (SPF pork from Chiba, etc.), displayed in a case like a sushi counter. The signature is Chateaubriand — the rarest cut of the tenderloin. Doubles as an izakaya where you can drink sake alongside freshly fried cutlets — a rare combination. Featured multiple times on local TV and media.

Regulars on Retty and Tabelog say: 'The meat quality is on another level — getting Chateaubriand at this price is insane', 'You can feel the craftsman's spirit of the owner', 'A hidden gem that locals have treasured for years.'
