This is the 2nd time we visited this place and it's always an incredible meal. One local guide mentioned that this is the best pork in the world, I second the motion to that. It's the best pork in the world indeed. Apart from their pork, the whole stay was wonderful as you're greeted with a free set of salad, tea and a lukewarm towel to refresh. On top of that, they also give you a complimentary ice cream which you can choose from Vanilla, Matcha and Yuzu. It's definitely a must visit place if you happen to be in Kashiwa area

This is a famous tonkatsu restaurant in Kashiwa. It was my first time visiting, but I thought the tonkatsu was moist and different to everyone's tastes. Personally, I prefer crispy, but this was a new discovery. First of all, the meat is probably pounded to make it bigger, so it's the size of a woodpecker and not very thick, but it's very soft. The bread crumbs are large, but because they are cut thinly and coated with pork, the texture is more chewy than crispy. This tonkatsu is whitish and very elegant, probably because it is fried at a low temperature. The first bite is very delicious. However, as I continued to eat it, the batter became crumbly and the bread crumbs were thin, so it felt like it had absorbed a lot of oil, which made my stomach pound. First of all, I was surprised that it was an underground store, but it was clean and spacious, and the employees were very efficient and gave me a good impression. (It has a slightly athletic atmosphere, so it may not be suitable for some customers.) When you pay the bill with an excessive sense of service, you'll be surprised at the amount. If you are a small eater, it may be better to choose the small size at first as the tonkatsu is heavy. It was a classy tonkatsu and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This place is amazing! They have the best deep-fried shrimp set. It comes with Shiso rice, miso soup, cabbage, pickled dishes, and green tea. The main highlight is the deep-fried shrimp cake, served with a delicious variety of dipping sauces. The owner is incredibly generous and even gave me a plate of pan-fried bean sprouts for free when I asked for some veggies. Halfway through my meal, they kindly offered me a second bowl of Shiso rice, maybe because I appeared really hungry, haha! It's a hidden gem with fantastic food and such friendly service.

Available for Sunday lunch. Lunch comes with stir-fried bean sprouts and cabbage salad, and you can choose the dressing for the salad. If you choose a set meal, you can have free refills of rice and red miso miso soup, and the staff will bring it to you if you ask. The cutlet is soft and fluffy rather than crispy. Comes with 2 types of sauce, so you can enjoy it with your favorite taste.

The pork cutlet was delicious, as you would expect from a 100 famous restaurant, and the meat was tenderized by the preparation.
