Fuso, Aichi, Japan｜Katsumasa Fuso

Legendary Katsu restaurant. Amazingly crisp and juicy Katsu, with all you can eat cabbage and rice. The miso Katsu is especially recommended since it is a local Nagoya specialty.

I visited again because the lunch was good last time. There were about 5 groups waiting before 1pm on a Saturday. It takes about 20 minutes for guidance. While I was waiting, customers kept arriving one after another, and there were at most 10 groups waiting. There were 3 of us, but we were shown to a spacious seat that could accommodate 6 people and ordered the lunch menu. Perhaps because I didn't add any options, it was served in less than 10 minutes after ordering. The A lunch I ordered was fried shrimp and pork cutlet, and I had a choice of cold tofu and chawanmushi, and I chose chawanmushi. The fried shrimp is big, plump, crispy and satisfying for this price. It also comes with tartare. The tonkatsu is not very thick or large, but it is fried crispy and the meat is soft and delicious. You can choose between white rice or barley for rice, and you can get unlimited refills of everything from fine burdock root, pork soup with pork, shredded cabbage, and pickles. For B.C lunch, you can also choose yam, which goes great when eaten over barley rice. The service is excellent, with plenty of sauces, mustard, dressings, etc. At many restaurants, it's difficult to ask for a second helping, but here, the staff passing by will look at you and ask, "Would you like another?"

I had lunch for 1100 yen. You can get unlimited refills of rice and miso soup, and the miso soup uses plenty of ingredients and is very delicious. Fried foods are delicious, but you can go on an endless loop with just rice and miso soup. It's delicious anyway.
