Osaka, Japan｜Yabaton Osaka Shochikuza

Delicious katsu, basement level under a big old style building. About 1400 yen for a great katsu a la carte, 2000 for a "set". The katsu curry plate for $1400 was great.

This is located in an underground area of restaurants right in Dotonbori. You will recognize this place because it has a statue of a pig in front of the shop. The service was pretty all right as they were quick and efficient. They do have an English menu and accept credit cards. They are a chain from Nagoya, which is famous for the miso. I recommend ordering the half/half so you have two styles of katsu, at a very reasonable price. Both were very delicious.

I usually don’t ever order katsu but this was recommended as Osaka and Nagoya’s speciality. The sauce is made from red miso but isn’t overpowering. What I loved most was it’s efficiency, the juiciness and fattiness of the pork cutlet.
