Wako, Saitama, Japan｜Keyaki

Very nice tenants, who let us stay until the very end of the opening time. Great chicken tonkatsu!

Not only was the tonkatsu delicious, but they even have an English menu. Furthermore, the employees are friendly and willing to help.

The pork cutlet shop I was interested in. It was hard to get in because of the local atmosphere, but I decided to give it a try after reading the reviews! It was around 18:00 on Saturday, and all the customers except me were male, and seemed to be regular customers. To put it bluntly, it may be difficult for solo female customers to go there. However, I had the pork cutlet and it was a restaurant I would recommend! I ordered bamboo fillet cutlet set meal. First came the pickled vegetables along with the tea. This light pickle is so delicious that I want a second helping. Until the end, I was debating whether to order just the pickled vegetables separately. After a short wait, the fillet cutlet set meal came. I heard that bamboo has thinner meat, but it's still quite filling! And it's soft and easy to eat. There was a good amount of cabbage as a side dish, so I was quite full. I'm very satisfied. I was there for probably less than an hour, but by the time I left, there were a lot of customers, so I thought it was a restaurant that was loved by the locals. There was also quite a menu for alcoholic drinkers, so there seemed to be a lot of customers who weren't just looking for tonkatsu. The fillet cutlet was very delicious, but I was curious about the other menu items, so I'd like to go back and try them again!
