Kakogawa, Hyogo, Japan｜Katsusato Kakogawa Hiraoka

Added 7/23/2023 On July 30th, the eel rice bowl was added to the menu, and the zaru soba was also added to the menu. It was an eel with an egg, but the taste was good. The eel was thicker than it looked. Zaru soba had a strong waist and plenty of texture. Also, isn't the amount small when you look at it? It was full of unfounded worries. Even a single piece of zaru soba is satisfying. This is a seasonal menu. Come to think of it, cold water has been replaced with cold green tea, which is also quite considerate. It was my first time entering this restaurant, but the first thing that caught my eye was the extra-large cutlet bowl. It's only been about half a year, but the store is very clean and comfortable. There are table seats, but even the counter seats are well spaced, so you won't feel cramped. I ordered a set of katsudon and udon from the evening menu. A set of katsudon and plain udon comes with a lot of delicious pickled radish and shredded cabbage. I have posted a photo so please check it out. I didn't expect anything because it's plain udon, but it's a full-fledged soup stock that you can understand just by taking a sip! In my experience, I haven't eaten udon with this much dashi for over 20 years. Naturally, Marugame and Hanamaru are out of the question compared to the soup stock here. It is a tonkatsu and katsudon restaurant, but you should try just udon. I was really surprised. I ate every drop of udon soup. In addition, the udon noodles have a waist and are so good that they are incomparable to the previous two stores. Close to authentic Sanuki udon. Well, it's a katsudon, but you should know it from the udon soup stock. The taste of katsudon is very good. It is Kansai-style, neither sweet nor spicy. However, the pork cutlet itself is not as good as Katsuya. This is very disappointing.

I always order the loin cutlet set meal. I think it's very delicious. The meat is thick, soft and delicious. The tonjiru that comes with it is also delicious. In my opinion, I thought it was equal to or better than Darumaya and Katsuya, which I often use.

It was more delicious than I expected 😅 You can get refills of cabbage and rice until 3pm! ️ The pork cutlet bowl was soft and juicy, the soup stock was good, and the eggs were delicious 🎵 The tonteki was also tender and delicious 🎵
