Takasaki, Gunma, Japan｜PANTON

Delicious handmade pork cutlet sandwiches. Perfect for eating in the car on road trip. Lovingly fried and prepared to order, so if you don't want to wait you can call ahead. Fresh juices and cold tea also available. Nice clean and bright eating space (counter tables). Bathroom. Seven eleven across the street if you need to grab anything else for the road.

Panton, a cutlet sandwich specialty store known to those in the know in Gunma. A popular shop that has appeared on TV before. When I asked the owner, "Is it often featured on TV?", he said, "No, it's only once." The cutlet sandwiches are cooked after receiving an order, so it can't be helped that it takes a little time, but once you try it, you'll understand. It's really delicious when it's freshly made. Such a thick cutlet is unbelievably soft! "I'd rather take this as a souvenir for someone special than eat it myself."

It happened to be a shop that caught my eye when I was looking at GoogleMap. It was recommended to make a reservation on the shop page, so I made a reservation over the phone about an hour in advance. Unfortunately, the ``big hand-kneaded cutlet sandwich'' was sold out, so I made a reservation for the ``fillet cutlet sandwich'' and the ``loin cutlet sandwich'' and visited the store around 13:00. I made a reservation, so I was able to receive it smoothly without waiting. I expected it from word of mouth, but I think it was the most delicious cutlet sandwich I've ever had. Personally, the "loin cutlet sandwich" was good because of the size of the meat and the deliciousness of the fat. If you have the chance, I would like to eat the freshly made “large hand-kneaded cutlet sandwich” and “loin cutlet sandwich” at eat-in.
