Kyoto, Japan｜Marumi

If you go to this restaurant, you should definitely try the pork tempura. The pork tempura here was by far the best pork tempura I've ever eaten. The pork tempura at Chinese restaurants is usually deep-fried to a crispy consistency and served with salt, but the pork tempura here is soft and fluffy in both meat and batter, and eaten with mustard soy sauce. This mustard soy sauce goes really well with the fluffy batter. My mother is old and has dementia and is no longer able to cook, but her favorite cooking was pork tempura. That's why I always ordered pork tempura on the menu at any Chinese restaurant, but for many years I couldn't find the pork tempura that I was looking for. For the first time at this restaurant, I was able to find the ultimate pork tempura that I had been searching for, surpassing even my mother's nostalgic home-cooked pork tempura, and I was truly thrilled. Although it's a small shop and doesn't have many seats, there are many regular customers who are fascinated by the best pork tempura, so much so that it sometimes sells out before closing time. Of course, the pork cutlet here is delicious, but you can also get the same level of pork cutlet at other restaurants, but this pork tempura is a masterpiece that can only be eaten here. If you visit this restaurant after reading this review, we recommend the pork tempura set meal.

Pork tempura or loin with a lot of fat I always struggle with whether to do it. The taste of tonkatsu sauce is also very delicious! ️

Satisfied with hearty tonkatsu in a shop with an old-fashioned atmosphere.
