"The attraction here is tonkatsu – deep-fried pork cutlets with a crisp, breaded coating and soft, juicy meat inside."
Rough Guide
"Located in an old bathhouse, this long-running tonkatsu restaurant serves up great-value set meals from ¥1580. The actual bathhouse bit is the smoking section of the restaurant."
