"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."
Frommer's
"Extremely popular with the locals, this restaurant has been dishing out tonkatsu (deep-fried breaded pork cutlet) for more than 25 years."
