Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima, Japan｜いとう食堂

The meat is so soft. Great taste. I strongly recommend this place. Great service.

My BEST restaurant for Aizu sauce katsudon. The pork cutlet is made with a thick loin of domestic pork that weighs over 200 grams, has a delicious sauce that is light and refreshing unlike the strong sauces at other restaurants, and the rice with cabbage is cooked a little soft, but delicious! The hurdles are extremely high compared to other sauce cutlet bowl restaurants, such as being only open for lunch, operating for a family of 3, limited parking space, and long waiting times on holidays! However, once I eat the sauce katsudon here, all other restaurants are no longer an option for me. The lady at the shop made it taste even better than the delicious sauce (lol) It's true. This is a store I would definitely like to visit again. On May 15, 2018, after defeating the morning lara at Kiichi in Kitakata with a huge serving, I went to Ito Shokudo for lunch. Last time I visited, the problem was that there wasn't a lot of parking, but now that a second parking lot has been secured at the back of the alley and a sign has been put up, the capacity has increased considerably! People coming on holidays may find the line even longer. (lol) However, I arrived at 10am, waited in my car, and got out of the car to the store 15 minutes before the store opened, but no one showed up. Is it really like this on weekdays? Just before the store opened, two groups of three people lined up behind us, which made me feel a little relieved. (lol) Be the first to enter the store! I was able to enter the official store area for the first time. Only about 6-7 people can fit in (lol) Ten minutes after opening, the only remaining seats were filled. It is still a thriving store! I'm really impressed because I've only entered the store in my residential area (lol) The loin sauce cutlet bowl is made with domestically produced pork.It's domestically produced, so it's tender and delicious, so try this one! said the owner and wife of Ito Shokudo. They won't let me order fillet cutlet because it's small and imported (lol) It's only been a few hours since the special morning larder, so I'm not hungry at all (lol) This time I came to stay the night, but tomorrow is a regular holiday (lol) So today's lunch is all I have to eat! The menu is 1,200 yen for the loin and 800 yen for the fillet, each with only 4 items: sauce and stew cutlet bowl. Nikomi katsu is a common katsudon in the Kanto region. The small size that was there last time was extinct this time, so my wife who came with me was also out of the calculation. In the end, I ordered two loin cutlet bowls, moved mine slightly from my wife's bowl, and had to make a large and a small homemade bowl. A series of special and large meals for breakfast and lunch! But, as expected, Niito Shokudo's sauce cutlet bowl! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal, I will come again!

I came to the store around 11:30 on a holiday and there was a line. Since it was Obon season, there were many large families and we waited for about 40 minutes. Inside the store, there are 7 seats at the counter and about 5 to 6 people on the Japanese-style room side. It is definitely not suitable for large groups as there are only 2 rooms available...It is better to come with the assumption that you will be seated separately. As you can see in the photo, the katsudon you are looking for is extremely thick! ! It's definitely 3 cm. However, the meat is very soft and I think even children can chew it easily. 1200 yen is definitely a bargain. The cost performance is the best. Homemade garnish? The soup with plenty of pickles and shimeji mushrooms was also delicious. The shop seemed to be run by a family and had a very nice atmosphere. It seems like there are elderly store owners and wives, so it's a good spot to visit early.
