Kashiwa, Chiba, Japan｜Anbai

This place is amazing! They have the best deep-fried shrimp set. It comes with Shiso rice, miso soup, cabbage, pickled dishes, and green tea. The main highlight is the deep-fried shrimp cake, served with a delicious variety of dipping sauces. The owner is incredibly generous and even gave me a plate of pan-fried bean sprouts for free when I asked for some veggies. Halfway through my meal, they kindly offered me a second bowl of Shiso rice, maybe because I appeared really hungry, haha! It's a hidden gem with fantastic food and such friendly service.

This is the 2nd time we visited this place and it's always an incredible meal. One local guide mentioned that this is the best pork in the world, I second the motion to that. It's the best pork in the world indeed. Apart from their pork, the whole stay was wonderful as you're greeted with a free set of salad, tea and a lukewarm towel to refresh. On top of that, they also give you a complimentary ice cream which you can choose from Vanilla, Matcha and Yuzu. It's definitely a must visit place if you happen to be in Kashiwa area

Simply the best Katsu restaurant I visited. Very large portions and service food, do not order too much. Great service too
