About this spot
This no-frills Shinagawa institution serves the city's most legendary pork cutlets, where the Fillet Katsu Set arrives with a crust so thick it practically shatters under your chopsticks. Skip the standard loin and dive straight into the signature two-piece set that pairs crispy meat with a mountain of shredded cabbage and house-made pickles. The atmosphere is purely functional, focusing entirely on the deep-fried perfection that has kept locals lining up for decades.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Fillet Katsu Set immediately upon seating to avoid waiting for the kitchen to prep the thick-cut meat.
- Bring cash only, as this traditional spot does not accept credit cards or mobile payments.
- Pair your meal with a small bottle of beer to cut through the richness of the heavy batter.
